A Mosaic of Perspectives: Understanding Ownership in Software Engineering

연구 분야: Software Development

학회: International Conference on Agile Software Development

Agile software development relies on self-organized teams, underlining the importance of individual responsibility. How developers take responsibility and build ownership are influenced by external factors such as architecture and development methods. This position paper examines the existing literature on ownership in software engineering and in psychology, and argues that a more comprehensive view of ownership in software engineering has a great potential in improving software team’s work. Initial positions on the issue are offered for discussion and to lay foundations for further research.
