  Necessity of different competencies with high level of knowledge makes it
inevitable that software development is a team work. With the today's
technology, teams can communicate both synchronously and asynchronously using
different online collaboration tools throughout the world. Researches indicate
that there are many factors that affect the team success and in this paper,
effect of individual success on globally distributed team performance will be
analyzed. Student team projects undertaken by other researchers will be used to
analyze collected data and conclusions will be drawn for further analysis.
