“…These features will be related to the settings of the project, for instance time overlap among the different sites, degree of cultural difference among team members and level of knowledge about common language. In order to make a quantitative estimation of this factors the proposal by Aranda et al will be used [31].…”

From recent decades, the phenomenon of globalization is affecting the business model of companies, evolving into a global market that seeks to reduce costs, increase productivity and competitive advantage. The companies engaged in software development are no strangers to this phenomenon, and also being adapted to develop the software in a distributed way at different development teams scattered around the world. This is known as Global Software Development (GSD). This software development paradigm introduces a number of advantages for companies that follow it, but also introduces a number of difficulties and challenges associated with geographical, temporal and socio-cultural distances. One of the major difficulties appears in the Knowledge and Decisions Management as in GSD information comes from many different sources, which makes its management, storage and reuse very complicated. In order to mitigate some of these challenges, we have developed a tool to support the decisions management made in software projects, in the context of global development. Therefore, the system enables the creation, storage, retrieval and transmission of decisions tackled in a software project, carried out in a delocalized way. In addition, the tool allows project managers manage the information of software projects and the most important value is that it also provides techniques to reuse the decisions taken in previous projects into new projects with similar characteristics.

“…Strategic collaboration seeks to encourage social interactions/dialogues/negotiations among stakeholders (Sustar et al, 2008;Garmer et al, 2004;Laporti et al, 2009;Geisser and Hildenbrand, 2006;Fuentes-Fernández et al, 2010;Pereira and Soares, 2007) and to enable globally distributed teams work together to deliver innovative and competitive solution (Hanisch and Corbitt, 2007;Simha and Kishore, 2009;Shimakage and Hazeyama, 2004). It deals with aspects of cognitive styles, cultural differences, knowledge level and communication synchronisation (Aranda et al, 2010).…”

“…However, participation of stakeholders in RE is a practice that has to deal with three important challenges: stakeholder uncertainty and inability to communicate needs, evolving requirements during the life of projects and poor information gathering techniques applied by analysts (Flynn and Jazi, 1998;Blyth, 1998;Pitts and Browne, 2007). The coordination of interactions involving geographically distributed modern software development firms and employees is also a major challenge for participation (Aranda et al, 2010). Furthermore, studies by authors such as Gambhir (2001), Rossi and Tuunanen (2004) and Ramesh et al (2010) have suggested that traditional perspectives of RE are no longer sufficient for dealing with challenges of modern markets.…”

In this article, management strategies for participation during requirements elicitation are analysed. Using an outline of research factors derived from method engineering and strategic collaboration factors, this article presents an exploratory case study that was conducted within a high tech company to determine themes for managing participation during requirements elicitation. The main empirical contribution of the article is evidence from a thematic analysis of the study that describes how requirements analysts manage and take part in elicitation activities and how potential barriers are overcome. Twenty four strategic collaboration themes and five method engineering themes were found in the participative elicitation process from two projects. The article also makes a conceptual contribution in the form of strategic information systems considerations derived from the participation management themes captured in the case company.

“…Muhammad Asim [17] Noor examined 108 software development outsourcing experts the purpose of which was to enhance the RE process for outsourced software development projects. Gabriela N. Aranda [18] in his paper propose a framework for requirement elicitation which focus on problem predictions and propose different strategies which decrease the effects of these problems and improve the performance of projects in the context of GSD. The strategies focus both on the environment in which the elicitation takes place and also on the stakeholder cognitive selection of technology selection.…”

Objective: To Find Critical Success factors (CSF) and challenges in requirement implementation in the context of GSD through Systematic literature Review (SLR), and to find the practices for the proper implementation CSF and challenges as proposed by Requirement Implementation Model (RIM).Method: -SLR is the methodology used to fulfill the objectives of this research. Expected Outcomes: -SLR protocol is developed for RIM. Expected output of this study is to list out all the factors and challenge which the stakeholders are facing in implementing requirement in the context of GSD through SLR.
