We first setup a forum for software professionals to discuss the challenges, limitations and success factors.

We further conducted a set of face-to-face interviews with the subject matter expertise like customer relation managers and sales teams to identify a suitable set of solutions, and finally developed a framework. According to the result shown in the survey, clients are willing to have emotional bond with the development team. Further, 80% of the professionals agreed that emotional connection is one of the main factor for the project success. It has also shown that 70% of the people state that emotional intelligence is a skill, which needs to be trained by the expert for better work environment. 75% of the experts state that emotional intelligence is needed for good personal relationship. 60% of the professionals agreed that empathy is the major factor, which help to have a good work environment.
