--Requirements Management is one of the challenging and key tasks in the development of software products in distributed software development environment. One of the key reasons found in our literature survey the failure of software projects due to poor project management and requirement management activity. This main aim of this paper1. Formulate a framework for the successful and efficient requirements management framework for Global Software Development Projects. (GSD) 2. Design a Mixed organization structure of both traditional approaches and agile approaches, of global software development projects. 3. Apply Ontology based Knowledge Management Systems for both the approaches to achieve requirements issues such as missing, inconsistency of requirements, communication and knowledge management issues and improve the project management activities in a global software development environment. 4. Propose requirements management metrics to measure and manage software process during the development of information systems. The major contribution of this paper is to analyze the requirements management issues and challenges associated with global software development projects. Two hypotheses have been formulated and tested this problem through statistical techniques like correlation and regression analysis and validate the same.
