5CulturalP-11 How do we handle cultural differences? Cultural differences area fact. The challenge is first to be aware of them and then to usethem to our advantage. Can formal training deal with the abovechallenge? How do we educate people to work in global softwaredevelopment? What additional knowledge is needed to ensurethat developers can work in a global environment? It does not onlyrequire knowledge about software development, but also a goodunderstanding of the challenges with global development and withother cultures.P-12 How do we ensure the same process interpretation in differentcultures? Can Enterprise Process Frameworks address the issuesof multiple process styles? How heavy or light should an enterpriseframework be to meet business objectives? Even when havingthe same process across sites, there is no guarantee that it isinterpreted in the same way. The likelihood is higher if beingwithin one country and with people with a similar educationalbackground, but it becomes much more a challenge when havingpeople form different cultures.P-13 How do we make use of experiences in one culture in anotherplace? It is well-known that it is difficult to share experienceseffectively. However, it becomes even more complicated to shareand use experiences in one culture with another culture. How canthis be done? It is probably insufficient to publish experiences; theyhave to be transferred, but what is the best, most effective way?P-14 How can the end-user perspective be captured in global softwaredevelopment? The end-user comes further away from thedevelopment when the development goes global. Thus, it maybecome even more difficult to include the end-user perspectiveinto the development.Standards and RegulationsP-15 How do we make processes that are compliant with acceptedstandards? Different companies in different countries may havedifferent standards or they may even be required to followdifferent standards due to legislation. How can global softwaredevelopment be conducted with different standards?P-16 Are global standards an imperative for this model to succeed? Isit possible to succeed with global development without havingcommon standards? Can global process interface standards bedeveloped?48 Theme P | IPRC Framework
5.5.2 Research Node P.2: Managing ThroughCentralized CooperationThe process objectives of this node are to focus on projects with onemain decision authority, but using different project process instantiations.These projects are most likely decentralized and made up of apossible mix of mature and immature organizations, but having jointorganizational goals. Some examples of this situation include: one companyin multiple sites, divisions and so forth; and subcontracting withone prime.5Scenarios within this node could be large projects in one company withmultiple development locations or multiple companies. The reasons forhaving development in multiple locations are many: access to labor,cost-reduction, presence in a specific country or region, tax incentivesto establish work based in economically disadvantaged parts of a country,or where there are pockets of expertise (e.g., in regions surroundinga University with a good reputation in certain fields). Even the need fora sufficient number of people can cause companies to establish themselvesat multiple locations or to cause subcontracting to other companies.Other reasons include having locations near major clients or nearimportant suppliers.The objective is to support companies in being able to divide projectsinto suitable parts that can be developed on different locations and then,as easily as possible, be integrated into a system. This is a challenge,and it will make more demands of process than perhaps a single locationoperation, however it has a better chance of succeeding where theprocesses and culture support a joint understanding.Research questions associated with this node includeDifferent ProcessesP-17 How do we handle the use of different project processes? Differentlocations may have different project processes or at least differentflavors of the same process. This poses some challenges that arereflected in the remaining questions in this group.P-18 Is the output from one process producing the input needed inanother process, or are the differences between processes atdifferent locations a problem?P-19 How do we handle interfaces between processes? The interfacebetween different processes in distributed development must bewell specified and the output from one process should be the inputto another process.IPRC Framework | Theme P 49
