Tiivistelmä
Agile and global teamwork are currently both popular themes in software development and
related research. While the agile paradigm has reported to increase the probability of success
compared to traditional methods, global software development teams still face occasional
problems with the agile culture adoption. This is partly because of conflicting values between
agile values and certain aspects in national cultures. This MSc thesis focuses on analysing
and understanding the relationships between agile and national culture values. Although there
is world-wide research carried out on organisational and national culture, there has not been
much research done focusing on this relationship from agile perspective. The research
method followed in this study was qualitative in nature and more specifically it was a theorydependent approach. In this research and study process, Hofstede's cultural dimensions on
nations and countries were used as a basis to form a theoretical framework, within which
agile values and principles were compared and contrasted. The data gathering was done
through interviews, which were analysed and grouped into categories representing key
characteristics in agile culture and philosophy. Based on the first interview results with crosscultural
expert, indication of the relationship between agile and national cultures could be
seen. This relationship was studied in depth in interviews with team members from case
projects. In addition, this research study provides some practical guidance on how agile
software development principles should be adapted to fit better for example in case of high
power distance cultures. This understanding is important for all software professionals
working in projects with people from other countries as well for managers who need to
understand consequences on their decisions when selecting where to do development.
