Empowering global software development with business intelligence

摘要

Context: Global Software Development (GSD) allows companies to take advantage of talent spread across the world. Most research has been focused on the development aspect. However, little if any attention has been paid to the management of GSD projects. Studies report a lack of adequate support for management's decisions made during software development, further accentuated in GSD since information is scattered throughout multiple factories, stored in different formats and standards.
