Abstract

This position paper describes an approach to create a framework for modeling emotion role and its contagion influence between agile teams at various activities for producing defense software, and a procedure to test the model by introducing Multi Criteria Decision Methods to the defense sector. Emotions influence and its contagions between developers can significantly influence underlying people-centred processes such as agile methods. Based on current observations, negative emotions and its contagion between teams can be reduced by applying the Multi Criteria Decision Methods which enable the involvement of larger actors pool in different activities, such as decision making, which ultimately help agile teams to acquire higher quality of defense software products and lower development time.
