Abstract:
Over the last decade, many firms in the world have started adopting Global Software Development (GSD) in order to reduce software development cost, and access to qualified resources and modern technology. Due to the rapid development of ICTs, the GSD has become an acceptable business strategy with several paradigms. One of the rising business paradigms of GSD is Offshore Software Development Outsourcing (OSDO). The objective of this research is to provide mitigation advice for addressing communication and coordination challenges from vendors' perspectives in OSDO relationships. We have performed systematic literature review (SLR) process for identifying the practices/solutions for these challenges. We have identified 65 practices for addressing these challenges. This paper can help the OSDO vendor organizations to use the identified practices in order to address the communication and coordination challenges in OSDO relationships.
