Abstract

Teamwork in a software engineering project includes different coordination aspects. Usually many different workflows are implied by a software development process model,which prescribes — among other things — the general course of the development process and all demanded deliverables such as design and system documents or source codes. During the whole course of a development project, communication support and efficient management of the flow of work items between different people or between different groups of people is required.

T. Wendel’s work was supported by a scholarship according to the ‘Landesgraduiertenförderungsgesetz Baden-Württemberg’ under grant no. 8122/93.
