Global Software Development (GSD) poses inherent risks to projects success. Project managers are now faced with new challenges related to the geographical, temporal and socio-cultural distances between stakeholders. The objective of this research is to identify challenges associated with Software Project Management (SPM) activities in a GSD context and present an integrative framework encompassing them. Using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR), 39 risk factors were identified and later compiled into a framework inspired from the model of organizational change.
