Abstract

It has been widely recognized that coordination amongst the people involved in developing a software intensive system is required for successful completion. Many projects, particularly those with team members separated by geographic distance, have an impeded ability to coordinate amongst some project members, which may cause a mismatch between the need of the project to coordinate and the ability to coordinate resulting in coordination break downs. This paper presents a Coordination Risk Analysis method for determining the significant coordination mismatches before they become an issue and experiences applying this method to geographically distributed projects.
