SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT TEAMS

Software development is an impressively complex socio-technical activity. It requires people to interact with each other and with both the technical methods and computing technologies they use to perform their work [3]. Analytically, the social aspects of software development include how people interact, behave, and organize. Technical aspects of software development include the use of production methods, development techniques, and computing technologies. In practice, it is difficult to disentangle the way people do things from the methods, techniques, and computing technologies they use [6].
