Effects of Individual Success on Globally Distributed Team Performance
This addresses team dynamics in distributed software development, but appears incremental as it builds on existing research without introducing new methods or broad impacts.
The paper investigates how individual success influences the performance of globally distributed software development teams, using data from student team projects to draw conclusions for further analysis.
Necessity of different competencies with high level of knowledge makes it inevitable that software development is a team work. With the today's technology, teams can communicate both synchronously and asynchronously using different online collaboration tools throughout the world. Researches indicate that there are many factors that affect the team success and in this paper, effect of individual success on globally distributed team performance will be analyzed. Student team projects undertaken by other researchers will be used to analyze collected data and conclusions will be drawn for further analysis.
