Abstract

In this paper we present a tool to facilitate the work of managers of global software development projects. This tool explores the relationship between software dependencies and coordination of work and uses social networks to suggest potential coordination problems for managers. The overall architecture of the tool is described as well as the theoretical and empirical motivations for the tool
