Government and academia can collaborate on bringing innovation and filling
design-reality gaps in e-government projects. However, differences in project
management methods employed by the organizations is often a challenge for
collaborative works. Bearing that in mind, we investigated a 30-month
government-academia partnership to find appropriate ways to get around this
obstacle. From the analysis of \textit{post-mortem} data as well as the results
of questionnaires and interviews with project participants, we present a set of
best practices based on FLOSS and agile software development approaches that
favors team management in government-academia collaborations in e-government
development projects.
