Factors that influence the project segm entation are nature of the work , the 
environm ent, the existence of a link  between the client and the offshore developm ent 
center, and the m aturity of processes in the offshore developm ent center.

review. Each of these reviews covers a particular aspect of the project such as risk  
m anagem ent, software quality assurance, and project progress, inter group 
dependencies, product and process m etrics, progress against project baselines and 
status of configuration m anagem ent. A progress report for each w ork module is 
produced regularly against metrics defined for the pack . T his ensures that any 
processes gaps or com m unication problem s are m anaged im m ediately and 
appropriately.  T he statement of w ork also defines milestones, each w ith a planned 
completion date. T his enables project m onitoring based on the m ilestones and also 
helps to identify issues and address them  at an early stage.
