Abstract

With the growing interest in distributed or global software development (GSD), numerous studies have emerged, aiming to explore the best practices for managing remote work scenarios. However, an opportunity of study remains regarding a systematic and rigorous analysis of how to effectively manage work from home-office in a distributed or global software development context. This paper presents a comprehensive systematic literature review that investigates the management of remote work in the realm of distributed or global software development. A total of 145 papers were selected from an initial search of 1503 retrieved publications based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. These papers underwent thorough data extraction and analysis, and the findings of this systematic review shed light on the primary concerns and best practices associated with global software development. Moreover, this review highlights the need for further research and refinement in several areas, including exploring the future prospects of GSD and its potential implications. By providing a holistic overview of the existing literature, this study serves as a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners, and managers seeking to gain insights into managing remote work effectively in distributed or global software development environments.
