OutlineThe TopicMotivation for the TopicIntroductionTheoretical basisMapping GSD and PMBOK® GuideConclusionThings that I learned
The TopicThe paper is about:
comparative analysis between the human resource management techniques of the PMBOK® Guide with the coordination practices in GSD
Motivation For the TopicOne of the main cause of GSD
Projects failure is bad project management
The PMBOK Guide is not enoughCoordination is essential for team
project
Introduction
IntroductionSoftware development has
become increasingly distibuted across the globe
Introduction (2)Distance matters
◦Exterior◦Interior
Introduction (3)Management of GSD project is
difficult
Introduction (4)Communication, coordination,
culture and control issues◦Coordination >> human resource
management >> PMBOK® Guide, 2008
Theoretical Basis
Theoretical BasisCoordination
◦one of the very difficult aspects of software engineering
◦has four main components: Goals Activities Actors Interdependencies
Theoretical Basis (2)PMBOK® Guide, 2008
◦A recognized standard for project management
◦there are five sections: Human resource management Communications management Scope management Cost management Quality management
Theoretical Basis (3)Project human resource
management includes “the processes that organise, manage
and lead the project teams”

Conclusion
ConclusionThe PMBOK Guide scope is limited when applied
to GSD Project ManagementA structured set of standards which focus
specifically on GSD is neededThere are coordination activites that not in the
PMBOK Guide but important in practices:Onsite Coordinator: help to manage cultural
diversityBridging: the way to manage cultural diversityManaging Attrition: can help to take
necessary step to overcome attritionTask Allocation: help to motivate project
member
Things that I LearnedReality is different to the theoryThe characteristics of GSD
Project make it needs a structured set of activity that focus on GSD, including coordination
The PMBOK Guide doesn’t talk much about coordination
