Abstract

Reducing production cost is vital for ensuring
sustainable competitive strength. This is particularly
true in software development, in which there has been
a move from in-house development to global and now
also to offshore-outsourced software development. In
offshore outsourcing, development activities are mostoften
moved to low-cost development environments that
are locally managed. However, this type of outsourcing
is not without problems. Most development projects are
complex, and moving control and responsibility away
from the client increase complexity. But, there is a
trade-off between cost and complexity and control, as
well as an increased chance of failure of the project.
This paper contributes to identify the goals from the
early development components and risk factors
threatening the goals to fulfill. A goal-driven software
development risk management modeling (GSRM)
propose to supports this task. We conducted a study
based on Delphi survey process to obtain the goals and
the risk factors in a different cultural environment for
the offshore vendors in Bangladesh
