Synthesizing the Literature on the Issues of Coordination and its Impact on Software Quality

Abstract

High quality of products is one of the main priorities in development. Delivering products of good quality demands a high level of coordination among developers and maintaining coordination is challenging. This paper intends to investigate the issues of coordination and its impact on software quality in software engineering projects. The researchers applied Systematic Literature Review (SLR) to perform this study. Among the coordination issues discovered are language barriers, intercultural, inefficient communication, trust, lack of project flow understanding, different time zones, dependency issues, strategic issues, knowledge management, geographical distance, awareness, and organisational boundaries. All these obstacles then significantly impact software quality.
