Abstract

Our research has shown that many companies are struggling with the successful implementation of global software engineering, due to temporal, cultural and geographical distance, which causes a range of factors to come into play. For example, cultural, project management and communication dif-ficulties continually cause problems for software engineers and project man-agers. While the implementation of efficient software processes can be used to improve the quality of the software product, published software process models do not cater explicitly for the recent growth in global software engi-neering. Our thesis is that global software engineering factors should be in-cluded in software process models to ensure their continued usefulness in global organisations. We have developed a software process, Global Teaming, which includes specific practices and sub-practices. Our purpose is to ensure that requirements for successful global software engineering are stipulated so that organisations can ensure successful implementation of global software engineering.
