Agile Global Software Development, Distributed Web Collaboration, Globally Distributed Teams, Builds, Synchronous Communication

The key to web based collaboration between multi-site software developers and team members is how effective these distributed teams share development work products and project status. Recently systems have evolved to aid information sharing in a more flexible manner. These systems support video tools, media tools with centralized repository tools for effective communication. Most previous studies have thrown light into the obstacles of using these highly technological media tools. Some of the major impediments are different time-zones and cultures, IT infrastructure in mostly Agile Global Software Development (AGSD). This paper proposes a system where developers can remain offline ensuring a simple, user friendly guiding route map in the developmental environment. The software ensures organizing of builds for easier tracking of completed modules.
