+Organizational culture is built and reinforced every life year of a large-size
+organization. These cultural values reflect on the internal management processes
+and in the norms of communication among its members. In the context of software
+development projects, each institution adopts development methods that best meet
+its managerial procedures and organizational routines. When two large-size
+organizations decide to develop a solution collaboratively, the management
+methods and workflow of one may conflict with the interests of the other. This
+problem becomes crucial when it involves collaboration between government and
+academia. The poor and unadaptable management could lead the project to fail,
+resulting in a waste of population-funded resources.
+
+In this study, we investigated the SPB project, a collaborative project between
+the Brazilian Ministry of Planning and two Brazilian universities, the
+University of Brasília and the University of São Paulo. In this project, the
+coordinators, advised by IT market developers, used management and communication
+practices from OSS projects to improve the workflow and relationship between the
+organizations involved. 
+ 
+Regarding our first research question,\textit{How to introduce open source and
+agile best practices into government-academia collaboration project?}, we
+examined the SPB project and identified three macro-decisions taken by the
+academic coordinators that led them to intuitively and non-systematically adopt
+agile and open source practices in the development process. We extracted nine
+best management practices and verified their effective use collecting data from
+the management tool and interviewing the project participants.
+
+Analyzing the interview responses we can understand how OSS and agile practices
+have benefited people and project management. Considering the evidence found, we
+answered our second research question, \textit{What practices would favor
+effective team management in government-academia collaborative project?}. As a
+result, we listed eleven benefits obtained from the use of the nine practices
+aforementioned.
+
+Finally, we collected a significant amount of data and testimonials in this work
+related to the teaching of software engineering. We consider that the project
+studied is also an educational case. The SPB project is an example of how to
+teach information technology students agile and open source methodologies
+applied to production-level software development. As future work, we intend to
+analyze this collected information to propose improvements in the teaching of
+software engineering for undergraduates.
