Global Software Development (GSD) involves multiple sites which comprise of different cultures and time zones apart from geographical locations. It is a common software development approach adopted to achieve competitiveness. However, due to multiple challenges it can result in misunderstandings and rework. Rework raises the chance of project failure by delaying the project and increasing the estimated budget. The aim of this study is to identify and categorize the rework causes to reduce its frequency in GSD. To identify the empirical literature related to causes of rework, we performed a Systematic Literature Review (SLR). A total of 23 studies are included as a result of final inclusion. The empirical literature from the year 2009 to 2020 is searched. The overall identified causes of rework in GSD are categorized into 6 major categories which are communication, Requirement Management (RM), roles of stakeholders, product development/integration issues, documentation issues, and differences among stakeholders. The most reported rework causes are related to the category of communication & coordination and RM. Moreover, an industrial survey is conducted to validate the identified rework causes and their mitigation practices from practitioners. This study will help practitioners and researchers in addressing the identified causes and therefore reduce the chances of rework.

Agile Practices

In the recent years, the adoption of agile frameworks and methodologies in Software Development Organizations (SDO) has grown up considerably. Unfortunately, the level required of formal documentation in bigger or longer software development projects is not full covered by agile practices alone; likewise, this kind of situations happen frequently in a context of CMMI organizations. The aim of this study is identify, review and analyze the most used agile practices that are being used in combination with CMMI within SDO. To accomplish this, a systematic literature review has been performed according to relevant guidelines. This study has identified multiple practices such as Daily Meeting and Product Backlog management that are being used constantly in combination with CMMI. In addition, we could identify that there are specific benefits of implementing practices from both approaches.
