Abstract

Dependable: reliable, secure, having high availability and safety, supporting continuous development concept of software development has become to be very important as an opposite to bad software customers are complaining about. Moving towards dependable software requires understanding of common problems and finding other ways than just testing to produce such reliable software. In this paper workflow gaps that are specific to distributed organisations are revised. Unwillingness to travel for long distances, communication gaps, lack of information and process monitoring, weak collaboration and teams' internal "wars" for organisational resources are main troubles. Those should be addressed and forecasted rather than afraid or faced. It is the only way to enjoy advantages of the distributed organisations without having too big risk.
