Offshore Practices and Case Studies
Using an Agile Software Process with Offshore Development
  By Martin Fowler
 

The experiences I'm writing about here are based on work done over the last couple of years by ThoughtWorks. We opened an office in Bangalore India in 2001 and have done several projects which have used a Bangalore based team. We've also done some offshore development with our Melbourne office.
