Abstract: Reverse Presentations is a method for requirements validation in offshore software development. In this paper, the authors present and conceptually refine this method and carry out an initial evaluation. The method provides cross-phase support and is characterized by a structured and iterative validation process. In contrast to existing methods, it focuses on the client perspective and takes into account social distance challenges. The method aims at creating a common understanding of the future system by means of “reverse presentations”. This core element of the method facilitates the transfer of knowledge across social worlds for validation purposes. Case studies with clients confirm that the method fits well with the offshore software development context. The cases point to the method’s positive impact on the interorganizational interaction and control. Copyright Gabler Verlag 2010
