Scarcity of programmers and the resulting high labor costs is bringing people of different race, ethnicity and culture together. This project was concerned with multi-cultural software development teams and the benefits of cultural awareness training. We hypothesized that cultural awareness training of the software team's various cultures would increase production. We performed experiments which supported our hypothesis. We have concluded with a 97.5 percent confidence level that such training does increase production within multi-cultural teams.
