Abstract :
Demanding stakeholders, newer markets, continuous pressure to reduce costs and improving the bottom line are driving organizations to transform into nimble global organizations. With an organizational spread over geographies, multicultural teams and unique local environments and challenges, running a software delivery program for these organizations needs strong delivery models with sensitivity to local cultures. Such programs are likely to face challenges such as coordination, communication, synergy among multi-location teams, and configuration management etc. in the absence of a well defined global delivery model.The panel goal is to discuss evolving delivery models catering to the needs of large global organizations, both from a customer and service provider’s point of view
