Apart from these benefits, it faces some challenges like communication, coordination, trust and configuration management etc. These challenges arise primarily due to physical, cultural and time zone differences. The empirical studies highlight that the existing Global Software Development solutions do not fully meet the user needs as there are still several gaps in these solutions. Therefore, to fulfill these gaps, there is a need to develop novel frameworks that address outstanding issues. In this paper, we have attempted to address the aforesaid GSD challenges. The practitioners can benefit from our proposed framework during the execution of GSD projects. The proposed framework mainly focuses on the root causes of the two principal challenges namely the communication and cultural differences. We believe that if the team members of a software project can communicate effectively and show considerations for others by imparting due reverence to the cultural norms, then the other residual issues can easily be reduced and minimized.</p&gt;}, number={1}, journal={EMITTER International Journal of Engineering Technology}, author={Sami-Ul-Haq and Khan, Muhammad Naeem Ahmed and Mirza, Aamir Mehmood and Saif Ur Rehman and Raja Asif Wagan and Saleem, Imran}, year={2021}, month={Feb.}, pages={13-30} }
