ABSTRACT
Presently, software systems are becoming a vital part of business in the world. Most of the software development organizations is adopting Global Software Development (GSD) and it is incessantly getting faster. The software development orgazations trying to globalize their production worldwide to acquire various benefits. GSD is a complex phenomenon and organizations face different challenges while adopting GSD. It has been noticed that Software Process Improvement (SPI) becomes as one of the major challenges for GSD. The objective of this research is to develop a framework in order to support the implementation of softwrae process improvement program in the context of GSD. The framework will base on an industrial study of SPI practitioners, experiences and understanding of factors that can have a positive or negative impact on SPI implementation initiatives in the domain of GSD.
