A number of organizations have adopted offshore software development (OSD) practices to support their software development in terms of reducing time to market, access to technical talent and lower costs. There is a lack of understandings of the factors associated with successful management of OSD projects. The objective of this study is to identify and prioritize the factors that contribute to successful management of OSD projects. First, we conducted a systematic literature review (SLR) to identify a set of factors that influence successful management of OSD projects. Second, a questionnaire survey was developed based on the findings of the SLR to collect feedback from industry practitioners. Finally, we prioritized the success factors using the analytic hierarchy process. In total, 36 success factors were identified. Findings of the study indicate that standards and procedures, change management engineering and trust building between distributed teams are key factors for the successful execution OSD projects.

许多组织已采用离岸软件开发（OSD）做法来支持其软件开发，以缩短产品上市时间，获取技术人才并降低成本。对与成功管理OSD项目相关的因素缺乏了解。这项研究的目的是确定和优先考虑有助于OSD项目成功管理的因素。首先，我们进行了系统的文献综述（SLR），以确定影响OSD项目成功管理的一系列因素。其次，根据SLR的调查结果进行了问卷调查，以收集行业从业人员的反馈。最后，我们使用层次分析法对成功因素进行优先排序。总共确定了36个成功因素。
