Abstract

Remote and collaborative software development (RCSD) projects are gaining more relevance in the actual information technology (IT) industry. RCSD projects may carry many benefits, such as economic, velocity, and flexibility impacts to an IS project. Anyhow, RCSD might be complex, due to the team’s geographic distribution, the issues of remote interactions, and other issues that might impact RCSD projects. One of the first aspects to be affected in RCSD is the software requirements given they are often at the project beginning. In this context, this research aims to analyse the factors that impact functional and non-functional requirements in RCSD projects. For this objective, we choose a case study with 59 participants that formed 11 teams of software development. As result, we find that, in this research context, three factors of those six had a positive association with the quality of RE. They are skills in software development, techniques of software development, and tools (adequate selection and usage). These finds are in line with the literature based on the triad People-Process-Tools. Our finds aim to contribute to the project management and software engineering theoretical bases relevant parts, mainly RE success factors, team management, and projects.
