“…The result of this SMS shows that SPM-for-GSD related subjects appear to require further investigation by researchers, particularly approaches for addressing challenges related to contextual information management, knowledge management, and performance management in GSD [11] . Further research is needed regarding distributed software project activities, since communication, coordination, and software application costs become increasingly more difficult with increases in project size [7] .…”

“…Identifying the critical aspects that contribute to the success of a software project is a critical step for successfully solving the problems associated with GSD. Some SPM approaches (methods, models, frameworks, and processes) for GSD have been identified for dealing with challenges related to communication, coordination, collaboration, and performance in GSD [11] . The growing globalization of SPM has attracted a great deal of attention, and has led to the demand for specific techniques for planning, communication, coordination, and control in the management of these projects.…”

Global Software Development (GSD) is a well established field of software engineering with the benefits of a global environment. Software Project Management (SPM) plays a key role in the success of GSD. As a result, the need has arisen to study and evaluate the downsides of SPM for GSD, to thereby pave the way for the development of new methods, techniques, and tools with which to tackle them. This paper aims to identify and classify research on SPM approaches for GSD that are available in the literature, to identify their current weaknesses and strengths, and to analyze their applications in industry. We performed a Systematic Mapping Study (SMS) based on six classification criteria. Eighty-four papers were selected and analyzed. The results indicate that interest in SPM for GSD has been increasing since 2006. As a class of approaches, the most frequently reported methods (40%) are those used for coordination, planning, and monitoring, along with estimation techniques that can be used to better match a distributed project. SPM for GSD requires further investigation by researchers and practitioners, particularly with respect to cost and time estimations. These findings will help overcome the challenges that must to be considered in future SPM research for GSD, especially regarding collaboration and time-zone differences.

“…They identify four key factors for communication in globally distributed XP teams that can be helpful for methodologies dependent on informal communication in global software development projects [6]. Huzita, E. H. M., Leal (2012) presents the challenges and opportunities that are focused on contextual information management, knowledge management, socio-cultural aspects and strategies to store and share data and also described that there are problems with knowledge transfer, lack of knowledge sharing processes in GSD due to lack of communication [7]. Holmström, H., Fitzgerald (2006) discusses the effectiveness of agile methods in GSD and objective of this paper was to understand whether agile methods can be successfully used in GSD.…”

Global software development (GSD) is becoming a common practice in today's world and it has brought significant changes to software development industries. Majority of the software development companies are adopting Global Software Development (GSD) to get benefits like reduced development cost, better quality product and access to skilled labor etc. However along with various benefits many challenges related to communication, coordination and control are also involved in globally distributed projects as compared to co-located projects. Mitigation of these Global Software Development challenges by themselves is not an easy task. Agile Software Development can be beneficial with respect to GSD as it emphasize on customer collaboration, interaction between individuals, continuous requirement gathering, delivering of the software with in time and budget constraints etc. There are also certain differences accompanied with the benefits of merger between agile and Global software development like communication, cultural and time zone differences, trust and knowledge management. This research study aims to look at current empirical evidence regarding challenges faced in a particular GSD context and mitigation strategies to deal with these challenges both from the perspectives of literature and industry and to develop a framework that helps to mitigate these GSD challenges.
