Abstract :
Majority of the current literature in GSD today only present the issues and solutions related to the social difficulties; cultural, language, time zone and others. There is only little investigation related to technical difficulties; particularly on Software Configuration Management (SCM). SCM is a practice which has been used widely; neither in collocated environment nor in GSD itself. SCM practices can be done without major problems in collocated environment. However, a lot of challenges faced by the team members in GSD environment; for the reason that the coordination and synchronization become more complex. This paper presents our findings of a systematic mapping study of the literature related to the issues concerning SCM and SCM areas of responsibility which have major problems.
