Abstract
Agile software development projects rely on the diversity of team members’ expertise. It is vital to develop the meta-knowledge of the available expertise in Agile teams. However, locating the internal expertise in Agile teams is not explicitly reported in the literature. Through a Grounded Theory study involving 16 Agile practitioners based in New Zealand and Australia, we revealed four ways to identify internal expertise in Agile software development projects: communicating frequently, working closely together, declaring self-identified expertise, and using an expertise directory. The outcome of this study will provide significant insight into how Agile team members depend on each other in locating their peers’ expertise, as well as quantify the level of expertise.
