Planning and managing of requirement change management (RCM) process in global software development (GSD) are a complicated task, but the RCM plays a significant role in developing the quality software within time and budget. The key aim of this study is to prioritize the factors that could positively influence the RCM program in GSD context. To achieve the study objective, the questionnaire survey study was conducted to get the feedback of the practitioners concerning the success factors of RCM in GSD context. Moreover, the fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (FAHP) was applied. The application of FAHP is novel in this research domain as it has been effectively applied previously in various other research areas, for example, supplier selection, electronics and electrical, personnel selection, and agile software development. The results of this study will provide the prioritization‐based taxonomy of RCM success factors and also contribute by introducing the novel FAHP approach in the research domain of RCM in GSD. The FAHP approach assists the practitioners to reduce the uncertainty and vague opinions of RCM experts.

在全局软件开发中对需求变更管理的成功因素进行优先级排序的模糊分析层次结构过程

全球软件开发（GSD）中的需求变更管理（RCM）流程的计划和管理是一项复杂的任务，但是RCM在时间和预算范围内对开发高质量软件起着重要作用。这项研究的主要目的是优先考虑可以在GSD环境中对RCM计划产生积极影响的因素。为了达到研究目的，进行了问卷调查研究，以获取从业者对GSD背景下RCM成功因素的反馈。此外，应用了模糊层次分析法（FAHP）。FAHP在该研究领域中的应用是新颖的，因为它先前已有效地应用于其他各种研究领域，例如供应商选择，电子和电气，人员选择以及敏捷软件开发。这项研究的结果将为RCM成功因素提供基于优先级的分类法，并通过在GSD的RCM研究领域引入新颖的FAHP方法做出贡献。FAHP方法可帮助从业人员减少RCM专家的不确定性和模糊的意见。
