A Distributed Development project is a research & development project that is done across many business worksites or locations. It is a form of R&D where the project members may not see each other face to face, but they are all working collaboratively toward the outcome of the project. Often this is done through email, the Internet and other forms of quick long-distance communication.
It is different from outsourcing because all of the organizations are working together on an equal level, instead of one organization subcontracting the work to another.
It also is similar to, but different from, a virtual team because there is a research element.
