CIS 423/523 Software Methodology II - Spring 2011

Globally Distributed Software Development

Leadership in the future software industry requires learning to apply CT skills to manage the technical, business, and social context of development projects that span time zones, continents, and cultures. Studies show that distance matters in the sense that geographic, temporal, and cultural differences lead to software engineering coordination and control problems that differ qualitatively and quantitatively from those in co-located development.

In this course we will learn about the software engineering aspects of distributed development. The class at UO will be coordinated with a class at Peking University using the same curriculum. Teams made up of students at each location will collaborate to develop a project together.
