Abstract

Efficient Task arrangement is difficult in global collaboration especially for distributed software design. Since the software design is a kind of creative work and there are reworks almost all the time, the duration and even the task sequence is undetermined. On the basis of Micro-estimation method, here we present our solution to reschedule the global collaborative design tasks to shorten the software development cycle. The traditional schedule methods are also analyzed in global collaborative environment. The software engineers may enhance their collaboration in global software design with the suggested solution.
