In recent years, the evolution of Global Software Development (GSD) has grown both rapidly and significantly, and although the efficiency of this new type of development has been proven, some challenging issues must still be confronted. Of all these, our research line is focused on designing the specific training that members of virtual teams must receive. Universities and companies therefore need to design training schemas to deal with the specifics of GSD, which are principally related to communication difficulties and time and cultural differences. In this work we present the findings of a Systematic Literature Review in the field of GSD training and teaching. Our intention is twofold: on the one hand we wish to discover the existing strategies and proposals available up to the present day, and on the other hand we wish to identify the open challenges, that will be helpful for practitioners and researchers in the future.
