Abstract
Desenvolvimento distribuído de software (DDS) é uma forma de envolver diversas pessoas no processo de desenvolvimento de software, o qual pode ocorrer de várias formas, seja em grupos de desenvolvimento no próprio local de trabalho, em outras cidades, ou até em outros países. No entanto, diversos fatores são considerados para que essa distribuição de tarefas seja distribuída de forma eficaz. Essa eficácia é mensurada por fatores como: redução de custos com comunicação entre os membros dispersos fisicamente, sucesso na realização do projeto, satisfação entre os membros, dentre outros. O objetivo deste artigo é analisar de forma empírica em um domínio específico, como gestores de projetos reagem quando se deparam com uma situação de formação de equipes para trabalhar em ambientes de DDS. Para tal, foi realizada uma pesquisa com 30 participantes, onde foram analisados alguns aspectos por nível de relevância, as prioridades socioculturais (língua, comportamento e formação) e dispersão geográfica usada pelos participantes para distribuição das equipes em ambientes de DDS. Como conclusão, observa-se que o principal fator considerado para a criação de uma equipe para trabalhar em ambientes de DDS é o fator sociocultural língua, cuja evidência é corroborada com um fator de 0.81 na escala de correlação de Spearman.

Abstract
Importance of sociocultural aspects in management teams in environments of distributed software development
Distributed software development (DSD) is a way to involve many people in software development, which can occur in many forms process is in development groups in the workplace, in other cities or even other countries. However, several factors are considered for this distribution of tasks is distributed effectively. This efficiency is measured by factors such as: cost reduction with communication between physically dispersed members, successful completion of the project, satisfaction among members, among others. The objective of this paper is to analyze empirically in a specific domain, such as project managers react when faced with a situation of teaming to work in environments DDS. To this end, a survey of 30 participants, where some areas were examined by level of importance, sociocultural priorities (language, behavior and training) and geographical dispersion used by participants for distribution teams in DDS environments was performed. In conclusion, it is observed that the main factor considered for the creation of a team to work in environments DDS is the sociocultural factor language, whose evidence is corroborated by a factor of 0.81 on the scale of Spearman correlation.
