Abstract Effective coordination is a crucial aspect of successful Global Software Development (GSD) projects. Limited studies have examined coordination strategies and their related indicators. Therefore, this study focuses on assessing the coordination processes that require specific strategies and related indicators that can contribute to effective coordination. Thus, the main aim of this research is to consolidate the coordination strategies and the related indicators that were extracted from two different sources namely, Systematic Review and Semi-structured interview. Grounded Theory was used for the consolidation of these two sources. The results of this study are a set of coordination strategies and related indicators that will be used to formulate the evaluation to assess the effectiveness of the coordination processes in GSD projects.
