GDD desde dentro: mitos e realidades

Abstract

While GDD (Global Development and Delivery) is becoming a way of life, this thesis represents a wide range of conclusions. However, GDD is technologically and organizationally complex and presents a variety of challenges to be managed by the software development team. In particular, temporal, geographical and socio-cultural distances impose problems not experienced in traditional systems development. In this paper, I present findings from an intership on GlobalSoftware company as a QA and two month lately as a PM in which I explore the particular challenges associated with managing GDD. This Master thesis is exploring a lot of aspects of the global development and delivery regarding the software development. It is the coordination of development activities in places to produce software applications and management through distributed repositories of the assets that contribute to these applications (Lanubile 2009). The purpose of this report is to go through the GDD, to understand the methodology, the research techniques used and the impact that this has within the organization in which I applied for. All the observations come from the experiences of working in a real background.This guides the development and delivery of software and also serves to study the patterns of myths and their interpretation in a GDD environment. It has been revealed that the geographically distributed enterprise is not easy to be managed and needs more resources allocated. The purpose is the same, what changes is the way how we reach those goals. To understand the "intense" why, a physical presence was needed to observe the organization's characteristics and analyze the scenario of globalization. This thesis is a step to a better, more productive and with a higher quality GDD. It helps companies to take into account and address potential challenges at the beginning by the overall structure. The presented work also helps companies to find the solutions validated to meet the challenges in their practice. At the same time, I have accumulated a considerable knowledge and experience, which is beginning to have a say in the future.
