Research Topic Title
Rationale for Research
In one paragraph write about why this topic is worthy of your interest, time, and energy.
Remember that your passion and voice are important. You each have unique strengths and
motivations. Perhaps the researched topic will drive your passion toward learning and personal
relevancy in a career, industry, or organization of your choice.
Research Question
In one sentence, design a research question that is stated either in quantitative or
qualitative format. Note: You will select either a quantitative or qualitative research question for
your proposal. You will work with your instructor and peers to refine this question for your
capstone.

Research
Use the Concordia Library to conduct research and find three articles that are relevant to
your topic. At least two of the three need to be scholarly (online library and Concordia librarians
can help). Here, in one paragraph, describe the challenges and victories of your research process.
Using the three Level 2 subheadings as shown in the examples below, identify keywords
and reference. In one paragraph, under the reference, summarize the article in your own words
(use paraphrasing and personal insight or experience, but for this assignment do not directly quote
from the article).

This article reviews the past results of Agile communication. It explains the gaps in what
we currently know about Agile and figures out what is coming next. Hummel, Rosenkranz, and
Holten (2013) cite Conboy (2009) in defining Agility as a process that quickly contributes to
customer needs (Conboy, 2009). This speaks to how Agile is a system of communication to get
fast results. They further define Agile as an iterative or cyclical model. The article describes
how the Agile method is very effective for technology projects because the method often times

asks people to gather data or make corrections alongside customers quickly. This method also
involves a great deal of input from the customer or client.

This article describes how global Agile team configurations focus on the framework of
the team. Having a virtual team is more complicated than a collocated, side by side, face to face
team. It is more important to have the framework in place and for the technology workers to
understand it.

This article was fascinating because it feeds into my desire to work on global virtual teams. It
touches on many important aspects of effective communication when dealing globally. In particular, it
focuses on face to face interactions and frequent communication and collaboration among team members.
The added discussion of Knowledge Management (KM) is also interesting. I look forward to elaborating
with my narrative in the paper. KM involves knowledge creation and knowledge acquisition. The
researchers point out that knowledge is largely dependent on who receives the message -- something I
have discussed with classmates and teammates at my workplace in Hyderabad.
