The Temporal Distance Issues and their Mitigation Strategies in (GSD): A Systematic Literature Review

GSD offers several benefits that facilitate software organizations to adopt this trend, such as highly skilled employees, reduced cost, cheap labour, improved marketplace, etc. To achieve these benefits, communication among the distributed teams should be adequate. Communication is a significant challenge in development, particularly in GSD. Communication risk is further divided into temporal, Geographical, and sociocultural distance issues. Among these, the temporal distance issue is affecting more GSD activities. It produces a significant problem in distributed development. While using mitigation strategies, organizations can minimize these issues and achieve the desired quality within budget and time constraints. Therefore, the current study aims to recognize temporal distance issues and their mitigation strategies in GSD. A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) has been performed to find all the temporal distance issues and their mitigating strategies in GSD. A conceptual framework has been proposed.
