Abstract

Background. The recent rise of software organizations shifting towards distributed environments increased the feed for distributed collaborative design (DCD), which requires dedicated design thinking and decision strategies to provide a clear architecture plan for distributed teams. Aim. This study aims to provide effective support for distributed development teams to enhance the transparency of architecture design decisions and contribute towards clear documentation of the decision rationales. Method. Using an action research model, we propose a conceptual framework for distributed Scrum software development teams to manage distributed collaborative design. Results. The proposed framework consists of two phases in which the team performs activities to decrease collaboration barriers in design thinking and decision-making. Conclusions. The illustrating example concretely shows the proposed conceptual framework’s potential and effectiveness in supporting DCD for team collaboration. Further empirical evaluation and validation of the framework are needed in real-time environments.
