N2 - Global Software Development (GSD) research has reached a level ofmaturity. Paper-based solutions and guidelines are readily availableto solve many known distributed software development problems. Thelarge number of recommendations can present a confusing picture to thepractitioner. The Global Teaming Model (GTM), captures key globalsoftware processes and recommendations by drawing on the large andgrowing corpus of empirical research on GSD. This paper introducesthe Global Teaming Decision Support System (GT-DSS), that is designedto help software managers navigate through the many recommendations inthe GSD literature and the GTM. The interactive GT-DSS capturesdetails about the development organization, and tailors GTM practicesto fit specific business and organizational needs. A prototype of theGTM-DSS has been evaluated by industry experts in GSD, with favorableresults.
