In order to have a successful software development in Global Software Development (GSD) environment, GSD community needs to define RE process by considering the situational characteristics. Currently Requirement Engineers (RE) are facing challenges in identification of the possible situational factors that can influence RE activities. There is a lack of such framework which can help requirement engineers in identifying the situational factors that affect the RE activities the most. In order to overcome this gap, we explored the situational factors that can influence RE activities. We conducted a survey in industry and performed a statistical analysis in order to identify the most influential factors, which were then formulated into situational RE framework. This framework not only helps RE process participants to identify the situational factors but also guides them to identify the most influential situational factors for each RE activity.
