Information sharing in teams is one of the most important aspects of successful software development. For instance, requirements, design decisions and guidelines need to be communicated with the whole team or with specific team members. For information exchange, communication is mandatory. Meetings are an effective way to communicate with many team members. Hence, much information can be shared during...
Software developers use many different communication tools and channels in their work. The diversity of these tools has dramatically increased over the past decade and developers now have access to a wide range of socially enabled communication channels and social media to support their activities. The availability of such social tools is leading to a participatory culture of software development,...
Collaboration in a software project is affected by team spirit, perceived closeness or distance between team members, and by the effectiveness of working together. Communication style and the degree of indirection in communication could have an impact on all of the above-mentioned parameters. A FLOW model represents the paths, modes, and media used in the communication of a particular project. The...
Global distribution of software engineering introduces geographical, temporal, cultural and organizational distance into teamwork. Communication media differ in properties and capabilities to overcome the challenges imposed by these distances. Media Synchronicity Theory (MST) aims at explaining the capabilities of communication media and their effect on sharing information and building understanding...
Communication models adopted in large-scale software engineering projects have significant impact on the efficacy of communication. We strove to understand these models by empirically examining synchronous communication within distributed and collocated teams at a large Fortune 500 organization. Our data imply that the overhead for tool support of synchronous communication for distributed teams are...
