Abstract

Agile methodologies are used for developing software both in local software development (LSD) and global software development (GSD) companies because it provides extensive benefits like proper communication, customer satisfaction, close collaboration, and frequent delivery of working software etc. to these developments [1]. In this paper, Systematic Literature Review (SLR) protocol is constructed to know about the success factors of implementing agile methodologies in LSD as well as in GSD. The result of this SLR protocol is a group of success factors which are very helpful for local and global software companies to know about importance of agile methodologies. The result of SLR protocol is also presented in this paper.
