ABSTRACT
Distributed software development is a reality. While this area is increasing, it is also necessary to prepare software development professionals to develop software in distributed environments. with the evolution of this area, it has been observed that the experience acquired in DSD projects can help to improve the performance in traditional projects as well. In this context, the purpose of this paper is to explore in what extent the experience with DSD can improve the performance of software development professionals, even in collocated environments. Data was collected based on the evaluation of a DSD teaching experience in a course taught in Brazil. The preliminary results indicate that experiences lived in a distributed context could help software engineers to become better practitioners.
