Abstract

Since the last decade, software development has called the attention of computer researchers: the distribution of software development. This phenomenon reflects economical and social changes, which have taken organizations to distribute geographically their investments and resources, in order to increase productivity, quality improvement and cost reduction on software development. On distributed development, the physical distance causes a series of problems, mainly related to reduction of communication. To assure an efficient communication a management model is necessary to deal with clear and efficient way to distribute the information and register problems in software development. This work discuss the use of the knowledge area “project communications management” of the PMBoK in the communication management in distributed software development and the adoption of two sub-process to facilitate this management.
