Empirical Study of Architectural Knowledge Management Practices
Matthias Galster, Muhammad Ali Babar · 2014
Most current literature on Software Architecture Knowledge Management (AKM) reports research aimed at developing AKM approaches or identifying challenges in and potential solutions to AKM. However, there has been little effort aimed at empirically studying and describing how AKM is practiced in real-world projects. This paper reports a study aimed at empirically understanding how AKM is currently practiced in industry. Our findings are based on a systematic and rigorous analysis of reports of AKM practices in 29 industrial projects.
