Abstract
Geographically Distributed Development (GDD) has now become a prominent software development paradigm. Software companies are increasingly adopting geographically distributed development approaches to produce high quality software [1]. geographically distributed development ’s popularity has attracted some research, but research work related to global distributed software development performed in Israel is limited. This contrasts with the relatively large-scale distributed software development conducted in Israel or by Israeli companies. Therefore, this work aims at better understanding the success factors of geographically distributed development in Israel. The research is done using triangulation and comparison of success factors identified by the literature and the opinions of software development practitioners, experts, and managers in Israel. Our findings show that in addition to worldwide common geographically distributed development success factors, some success factors are unique to Israel.
