Software project management tools in global software development: a systematic mapping study

Global software development (GSD) which is a growing trend in the software industry is characterized by a highly distributed environment. Performing software project management (SPM) in such conditions implies the need to overcome new limitations resulting from cultural, temporal and geographic separation. The aim of this research is to discover and classify the various tools mentioned in liter...

Software development in startup companies: A systematic mapping study

Context: Software startups are newly created companies with no operating history and fast in producing cutting-edge technologies. These companies develop software under highly uncertain conditions, tackling fast-growing markets under severe lack of resources. Therefore, software startups present a unique combination of characteristics which pose several challenges to software development activi...

Systematic literature reviews in global software development: A tertiary study

Global software development (GSD) projects are often largescale, tend to be complex, and have an increased risk of failure. An understanding of common GSD risks can help project managers control the risks and thus increase the likelihood of project success. We extend an earlier tertiary GSD systematic literature review (SLR) to extract data from the SLR studies identified to discover, 1) what a...
