Abstract

This chapter looks at standardization practices of large scale software development businesses and its acceptability among software professionals. The article reports the results of a survey conducted among software professionals on standardization practices of their organisations. The results show that majority of the organisations are complying with standardization related guidelines in their businesses. A significant number of employees are unaware about the standardization practices adapted by their organisations. The conclusions remarks that the organisations have to gear up their efforts towards introducing and maintaining global standards in the production and delivery of software products and services to their clients. Significant attention towards training and development related to standardization practices is recommended. Future research is warranted in investigating the effectiveness of existing global standards related to software production and delivery in large scale software development organisations.
