9 Moving from local to global development what global process do we implement? 9
10 Project Management Defined Roles and Responsibilities Risk Coordination Visibility Tools Technical Support True Cost Reporting requirement Information Process Management Effective Partitioning Skills Management Team Selection 10
11 Process Management Process for software development (Iocal/global) Specific requirements of Global Software Development For example, escalation and communication procedures Shared developed ownership Good software practice.. Processes developed by those closest to the process Negotiation of process Level 5 vs Level 3 Provides agreed commitment to software project 11
12 Process Management Exclusive ownership Does not allow for cooperation Alienation of team members Clearly defined and documented Establish common goals, objectives, rewards Training provided Good processes can remove communication requirements 12
13 Effective Partitioning Partitioning of development Architecture Partitioning of teams 13
14 Partitioning of Development Consider division What is the system architecture? Consider integration How do we put it back together? 14
15 Siemens Global Studio Project - Module Partitioning and Integration 15
16 Relating Architecture to business goals How does technical decision affect business goals? Product lines Regulatory considerations Cultural influences Language considerations 16
17 Partitioning of Development Risks and trade-off Global Software Development Greater complexity Need to understand risks Know where potential mismatch can cause problem 17
18 GSD and Architecture Making drivers explicit Distribution of teams does not allow correction in timely manner Distributed teams do not share intuition Technology choices based on skills Developers outside organisation Unfamiliarity with domain Skills not known by architects Trade-offs in light of business goals 18
19 Partitioning of Teams Manage the partitioning Requires more communication Requires more technical knowledge Determines level of communication between teams Determines level of support required between locations Strategy should take team communication into account 19
20 Partitioning of Work Partitioning of development Architecture Partitioning of teams 20
21 2. Keeping the knowledge and partitioning the work Client: US Fortune 100 manufacturer of industrial equipment with over 75,000 employees spread across 20 countries Activity: development and deployment of embedded software systems Vendors: two big software providers + one small specialised company (all in India) Interesting aspects: partitioning work, IP protection, motivation, strong&weak ties, networking, liaisons, knowledge transfer, personnel retention (Rottman, J.W.- Knowledge Transfer within Strategic Alliances, First Information Systems Workshop on Global Sourcing: Val d'isère, France March 2007) 21

23 IP protection, Networking and Competition 23
24 Knowledge transfer and investment in training 24
25 motivation work partitioning talent pipeline IP protection personnel retention strong tiesweak ties liaisons networking knowledge transfer 25
26 Lessons learned: Maintaining an own strong development team; motivating it for sharing Overlap of liaisons on site Securing the supplier employees fidelity for at least 1 year Visits to India; informal relationships encouraged Several suppliers, different components IP protection, competition among suppliers 26

36 Lessons learned Onsite apprenticeship for knowledge transfer Motivation and trust on the German side Polish employees included in the social life of the German site Personal relationships created reciprocal visits Learning through network and personal dialogue - knowledge-as-practice-approach German as common language 36
37 Emerging themes Creating an atmosphere of trust Motivating employees for knowledge transfer Good project management a must! Appropriate work partitioning The importance of communication tools and of corporate culture Hidden costs of distributed work Maintaining onsite developers Mutual knowledge, transactive memory systems Social capital a prerequisite of success 37
