Differentiating Local and Global Systems Requirements Gathering Processes in IS Software Development Projects
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper discusses difference in the requirements gather processes between a local team in software development and a global software development team. The paper highlights the cultural differences between a uniform cultural team and a multicultural team and argues that the communication issues that arise are inevitably associated with culture and geography. The second major issue raised in this paper relates to differences in the relationships between the teams and the clients. In the local exemplar, committees were more formal and affective rather than the informal one used in global software development. Finally the paper shows that the process of requirements gathering was different based possibly on the impact of culture in the one instance where that culture predetermined the actual process to be used.
