The practice of using a collaborative approach for software application development heavily depends on how quick a software development team can be in taking out the best productivity of its individual developers. It’s all about engaging a value chain in the workflow process to develop a software application in an efficient and timely manner.

Factors affecting productivity matter largely while adopting a collaborative approach. There are many of them which hinder developers to work together in physical proximity. Long travel times and commutes, especially in the larger cities, prevent individuals to get to work and productivity faster in the day. If they work remotely, a better productivity could be expected as that will essentially take away the physical burden of commute and emotional burden of stepping into the office by a given time.

Over the years, we have got offices full and technologically best supportive for working. However, the earlier used parameters for measuring efficiency must be dropped to understand a modern working system. It can’t be said that people working remotely work less or those in the office do great. The key is just to find out how work and workflow can be controlled and a better quality of work can be produced.

Now, technology has advanced enough to enable working from home or away from the offices. As desktops can be controlled remotely and real-time communication is possible with the telecommuting facility, work conditions come quite close to optimum as far as sharing, exchanging, and collaborative needs are concerned. This approach is quite suitable for the nature of job involved in web application development, and consultants are able to significantly increase their productive hours by avoiding encumbrance of preparing and moving to distant location of work.
