Abstract

Covid-19 has proliferated across the nations with increasing number of cases each day. Thus, IT companies are now forced to operate from remote places with limited IT resources. However, these companies across the globe are on continuous touch with their software development and maintenance teams to ensure that they are productive and are able to deliver their services on the projects on time. We study the challenges faced by the IT companies at this juncture and the need for a different software development approach to complete the projects successfully even during such crisis. In this context, when the IT industries are making attempts to complete their on-going software projects and also to attend to some critical up-gradation in their previously delivered products, the challenges faced by them due to acute shortage of IT resources and transforming the working model from physical setup to remote platform needs to be studied. This calls for studying the existing software development models and practices and defining an alternate one that would suit the present IT scenario.
