Offshore Challenges Affecting Design Phase

As mentioned in an earlier post that there are four key challenges in offshore software development such as:

• Trust
• Socio-cultural
• Communication and Coordination
• Knowledge Transfer

In the presentation below we have shown how these challenges effect the design phase of software development.
