4 4 Organizational culture is built and reinforced every life year of a large-size
5   -organization. These cultural values reflect on the internal management processes
6   -and the norms of communication among its members. In the context of software
7   -development projects, each institution adopts development methods that best meet
8   -its managerial procedures and organizational routines. When two large-size
9   -organizations decide to develop a solution collaboratively, the development
10   -methods and workflow of one may conflict with the interests of the other. In a
11   -case of government-academia collaboration, conciliating their different
12   -management processes is crucial, since the poor and unadaptable management could
13   -lead the project to fail, resulting in the waste of population-funded resources.

15   -In this work, we investigated the management method employed at the SPB project,
16   -a partnership between the Brazilian Ministry of Planning, the University of
17   -Brasília and the University of São Paulo. This method was empirically built
18   -using OSS and agile development references. As a result of this study, we
19   -identified a set of best practices which improves the workflow and
20   -relationship between the organizations involved.

24 24 examined the SPB project and identified three macro-decisions taken by the
25 25 academic coordinators that led them to intuitively and non-systematically adopt
26   -agile and open source practices in the development process. We extracted nine
27   -best management practices and verified their effective use collecting data from
28   -the management tool and interviewing the project participants.
