The challenges and realities in applying effective software risk management processes are difficult, in particular integrating the risk management processes into software development organizations. However, the benefits of implementing effective risk management tools and techniques in software development project are equally great. Current perceptions and emerging trends of various software ris...

This research examines how knowledge management elements of systems development projects are adapted to correspond with the increasing use of agile practices. Using a single, longitudinal case study, we draw on interview data from an initial CRM implementation that used a traditional approach, followed by a second project phase employing a hybrid agile-traditional approach. Oriented using the c...

Knowledge management is important for software development, whether this is done using traditional or agile methods. In an exploratory survey on how agile and traditional companies view current practice and future importance of knowledge management approaches, we found that agile companies seem to be more satisfied with their knowledge management approaches when compared to traditional companie...

Agile practices are arguably improving the productivity of small, co-located software development teams. In this paper, we describe an approach that tries to overcome the constraint of co-location by introducing a process-support environment (called MILOS) that helps software development teams to maintain adaptive practices in a distributed setting. MILOS supports project coordination, informat...

This paper presents a comparative analysis of knowledge sharing approaches of agile and Tayloristic (traditional) software development teams. Issues of knowledge creation, knowledge conversion and transfer, continuous learning, competence management and team composition are discussed. Experience repositories and other tools for knowledge dissemination are examined.
