Press Release: Stat of the Week -- Does your organization have distributed project teams?

Says E.M. Bennatan, who conducted this research*, "The percentage of software development organizations with global teams has grown to 50% [from 35% in a similar 2004 Cutter survey]. There is no doubt that without the recent advances in communications technology, this trend could not have evolved. We see that clearly when mapping the evolution of modern communications networks to the evolution of distributed software development -- the fit is almost complete."
