Towards a Framework for Work Package Allocation for GSD
نویسندگان
چکیده
Global software development is an inexorable trend in the software industry. The impact of the trend in conventional software development can be found in many of its aspects. One of them is task or work package allocation. Task allocation was traditionally driven by resource competency and availability but GSD introduces new complexities to this process including time-zones differences, costs and cultural differences. In this work a report on the construction of a framework for work-package allocation within GSD projects is presented. This framework lies on three main pillars: individual and organizational competency, organizational customization and sound assessment

Using simulation to evaluate global software development task allocation strategies
We describe a hybrid computer simulation model of the software development process that is specifically architected to study alternative ways to configure global software development (GSD) projects, including phase-based, module-based, and follow-the-sun allocation strategies. The model is a hybrid system dynamics and discrete-event model. In this paper, test cases have been developed for each ...
متن کاملKeynote: Meeting Complexities Head-On: Leveraging Global Software Development for Competitiveness
Necessitated by economic and market forces, the last two decades have witnessed a quantum leap in global dispersion of software development work, signifying the emergence of Global Software Development (GSD) as an important driver of business value. Whilst most companies have jumped on the GSD bandwagon, evidence suggests that firms do not (or are not able to) systematically harness the full po...

متن کاملAn Optimization Model for Financial Resource Allocation Towards Seismic Risk Reduction
This paper presents a study on determining the degree of effectiveness of earthquake risk mitigation measures and how to prioritize such efforts in developing countries. In this paper a model is proposed for optimizing funds allocation towards risk reduction measures (building retrofitting) and reconstruction process after potential earthquakes in a regional level. The proposed model seeks opti...
