Abstract

In Global Software Development (GSD), requirements collection and implementation is quite difficult due to challenges such as geographical distance, lack of face to face meetings, time zone difference, language problems and culture differences. In GSD, where there exist significant challenges, role of infrastructure and organizational structure becomes more prominent. With better organizational structure, effect of challenges in GSD can be reduced quietly. This research study aims to identify best practices needed for infrastructure and organizational improvements in GSD. To do so, a systematic literature review (SLR) is conducted and as a result 12 practices are identified.
