The growing demand for qualified professionals is making software companies opt for distributed software development (DSD).
At the project conception, communication and synchronization of information are critical factors for success. However problems
such as time-zone difference between teams, culture, language and different development processes among sites could difficult
the communication among teams. In this way, the main goal of this paper is to describe the solution adopted by a Brazilian
team to improve communication in a multisite project environment. The purposed solution was based on the best practices described
in the literature, and the communication plan was created based on the infrastructure needed by the project. The outcome of
this work is to minimize the impact of communication issues in multisite projects, increasing productivity, good understanding
and avoiding rework on code and document writing.
