Abstract :
Requirements collection is not easy process especially when clients and vendors are far away from one another. Collaboration and coordination between clients and vendors in GSD play role in requirement elicitation in GSD. In GSD, there exist critical challenges such as time zone differences, culture variations and language differences which makes it difficult to communicate properly. With collaboration and coordination in GSD, effect of challenges can be reduced. In this research work, importance of coordination and collaboration as success factor is discussed. To achieve goals and objectives, Systematic Literature Review (SLR) is conducted. Through SLR, 53 are finalized which discuss collaboration and coordination as critical success factor during requirements collection in GSD. Further, collaboration and coordination is analyzed on factors such as software company sizes, time period, experimental methods and continents.
