Abstract

Open source and offshore software development projects have changed the typical business model of companies. Such projects are often developed through loosely coupled teams/individuals having weak official belongings and communicating through modern communication tools instead of physical meetings. In contrast to a typical business model, project economics are not so important in project completion. In this paper we highlight the distinguished elements of such software development approaches to present guidelines for innovative software process model supporting such development paradigm.
