The distributed software development (DSD) has caused several challenges to the software development processo Among these challenges, the requirement engineering (RE) is highlighted due to the impact of factors like distance, cultural and time zone differences, and communications restrictions. In this context, the management of requirements related information is turned critical to assure that the required information about a specific domain or application will be available to the software development teams geographically distributed and it will also be available to the future maintenance projects. This way, the goal of this master thesis is to propose a structural model to requirements management in DSD. This proposal aims to contribute to the software engineering filling an existing gap in the DSD area, specifically about the RE and the software maintenance. Besides, this study shows new empirical data and also aims to contribute to software engineering through applying qualitative research methods. The research method adopted was case study, conducted in a software development unit of a multinational organization located in Brazil.
