OBJECTIVE: In this paper an ongoing project is discussed which
will bring together the work of researchers and software
development experts to develop a framework for the requirements
engineering process of global software development projects
(GlobReq). Managers of GSD projects will be able to use GlobReq
to plan a requirements engineering process suitable for a specific
GSD project. In this paper the need for such a framework along
with the proposed methodology, novelty and the preliminary
results are discussed.
