Abstract

In recent decades, the development of organization software has been expanding across different continents due to a shortage of human resources and to save cost. The development of a software product among different geographically dispersed teams is a very challenging task. Software project management is one of the important challenges between distributed teams. This study aims to investigate project management (PM) challenges in global software development and provide solutions to overcome these challenges. We investigated these issues through a systematic literature review. The most common barriers that we have found are cultural differences, lack of communication and coordination, different time zones, language issues, different organization style and processes, and knowledge management between virtual teams. Our goal is to develop a PM framework for global software development.
