Abstract: In recent years, an increasing number of companies and organizations have put in place geographically distributed teams to carry out development of various products – in particular software products. This trend has economic drivers (globalization, outsourcing) and has been facilitated by the IT revolution (better, cheaper communications). However, it has brought new challenges for the organizations to manage those distributed teams effectively [11].
