Abstract
ning and development activities, primarily through performance-related
process information, the equally relevant human factors are often in-
sufficiently considered for explaining team dynamics (e.g., the affect of
moods in teams). However, understanding team behavioral patterns are
crucial for the accurate planning and steady execution of development
tasks throughout an ongoing project.
A computer-aided feedback concept is described, unifying interdis-
ciplinary foundations and methods from the software engineering, data
science, organizational, and social psychology fields for disclosing team
dynamics in agile software projects. The concept covers the systematic
capture of sociotechnical data combined with descriptive, predictive,
and exploratory model-based methods that support understanding be-
havioural changes during the development process. Design science from
information systems research is used in academic and industrial case
studies to conceptualize and operationalize the feedback methods into a
practical Jira plugin.
A concluding evaluation through an action research method in two in-
dustrial software projects results in quantitative and qualitative findings
regarding the feedback utilization and utility during agile development
processes (e.g., team communication changes related to accomplished
performances). The case studies underscore the practical relevance for
systematic feedback and the need to better understand human factors
in software projects.
