Abstract:
Distributed development of software (DDS) has been gaining ground among companies that develop, as they saw the DDS a great opportunity to reduce project costs. However, due to the distribution of teams, there are some problems that do not exist in traditional development co-located, such as differences in time zones, different languages, lack of team spirit, inadequate infrastructure, among other challenges often generated by socio-cultural differences between the participants. This article is just the presentation of these challenges, evaluating their effects on the development process as well as presenting a strategy to minimize them, so do not compromise the outcome of the project.
