Abstract
This paper is intended to study the key performance indicators of team members working in an Agile project environment in a Global Software Development setup. Practitioners from nine different projects were chosen to respond to the survey measuring the escaped defects, team member’s velocity, deliverables and effort based performance indicators. These indicators are vital to any Agile project in a Global Software Development setup. The observed performance indicators were compared against the Gold Standard industry benchmarks to enable academicians and practitioners to take necessary course corrections to stay in the best case scenarios.
