TSPi to Manage Software Projects in Outsourcing Environments

Software development outsourcing is now a reality in both international and national organizations because it represents a competitive strategy. However, even when organizations recognize in the outsourcing competitiveness and business strategy, the software development projects in outsourcing enviroments fails due to the inadequate project management. Therefore, this paper presents a proposal of how to implement TSPi Methodology to manage software project in outsourcing environment. To achieve this, the main failure factors in software development in outsourcing environments are identified and a traceability to identify the adaptability of TSPi to this environment is showed.
