DOI: Optimization of software development processes in distributed teams
Garg Nishant , Software Development Manager, Amazon Seattle, Washington, USAAbstract
Background: This article analyzes the optimization of software development processes in distributed teams through the use of agile methodologies and modern digital tools. The study covers the theoretical foundations of agile approaches, including iterative development, continuous feedback, and adaptive planning, while also examining practical methods and tools that enhance communication and knowledge management in distributed work environments. Methods: The methodological approach includes a comparative literature review, which has made it possible to identify both success factors and challenges in implementing agile practices in distributed teams. As a result of the study, a comprehensive optimization model has been proposed, integrating theoretical principles with practical tools such as Jira, Confluence, Slack, Microsoft Teams, and GitLab, along with recommendations for adapting organizational culture and management processes to improve development efficiency. Findings: The findings demonstrate that the combination of integrated digital solutions with agile methodologies contributes to shorter development cycles, improved product quality, and enhanced communication flows. Novelty and applications: The insights presented in this article are relevant to researchers in information technology, professionals involved in business process optimization, and managers of distributed teams seeking to implement advanced software development methodologies in the context of global digital transformation.
