The proposed model is based on Hackman’s [34] model of effectiveness of work teams, with coordination theory [52] and collective mind [79] to extend Hackman’s model by elaborating team practices relevant to effectiveness in software development. We propose a set of propositions to guide further research.}, year = {2004}, journal = {Proceedings of the 2004 ACM workshop on Interdisciplinary software engineering research (WISER '04)}, pages = {18}, publisher = {ACM Press}, address = {Newport Beach, CA, USA}, isbn = {1581139888}, doi = {10.1145/1029997.1030003}, }
