Abstract
Collaborative effort is required in DSD (Distributed Software Development) in order to develop software in manageable components. Immense effort is taking place due to the cultural, geographical and temporal distances among project teams in Pakistani Software Industry to this end. The purpose of this study is to propose a solution during DSD that will help the distributed teams in coordinating their activities. Our solution enhances the management associated activities and assists in optimal usage of team coordination in dispersed settings. The method that we used is single case study type, which involved distributed software business to assess the usefulness and efficiency related to Pakistan’s DSD industries, and has shown strong tendency of participants towards the effectiveness of proposed team coordination framework. Results indicate that the predictable solution will look up the group management, which is considered as a vigorous issue of Pakistani DSD industry. Furthermore, it will assist in resolving the problems of team coordination in distributed situation. One of the most significant current discussion about the proposed solution suggested that it helps in human communication methods team coordination in a distributed environment.
Highlights
SD is considered as a collaborative activity in Dwhich team members work collectively to produce a product [1]
DSD locates the software team to disperse location throughout the software life cycle [3]. This practice has strengthened its roots to such an extent that it is becoming a standard for software development [4]
We evaluate our team coordination tool with existing tool i.e. MantisBT system used in distributed environments of Pakistan software industry
Summary
SD is considered as a collaborative activity in Dwhich team members work collectively to produce a product [1]. At the present time it is usual practice to have disseminated teams working together for producing a software product [2]. DSD locates the software team to disperse location throughout the software life cycle [3]. This practice has strengthened its roots to such an extent that it is becoming a standard for software development [4]. The quality of software development increases in DSD rapidly due to optimal usage of resources and cost saving [6]. The pitfalls of DSD cannot be ignored i.e. communication, team coordination and controls are the major issues [1,2]
