Global software development ieee

Our empirical research in India, a major outsourcing destination, has helped us investigate this complex issue of global software development. A triangulated study based on a questionnaire, telephonic interviews and structured face-to-face interviews with 15 Project Managers and Senior Executives has revealed how they cope with the demands of cultural differences imposed by a geographically distributed environment.

This research study brings forward various techniques initiated by these project managers to deal with cultural differences that exist within geographically distributed software development teams. Steps in the development process were executed at different sites at different times, depending on skill set match. An iterative development process reduced communication risk as development for one phase and communication for the next phase could be conducted in parallel.

This approach allowed the team to avoid most of the communication delay and improved the quality of communication as well. Become a Leader. Member Benefits. Membership FAQ. Membership Categories.

Abstract: In today's world, software development is increasingly spread across national and geographic boundaries. There is limited empirical evidence about the number and distribution of people in a large software company who have to deal with global software development GSD.

Is GSD restricted to a select few in a company? How many time zones do engineers have to deal with?
