Enhancing collaboration of multi-developer projects with synchronous changes
Lile Hattori · 2010
In a multi-developer project, team collaboration is essential for the success of the project. When team members are spread across different locations, informal interactions are lost, having an impact on individual awareness of the activity of others. In this scenario, collaboration becomes a challenge. A number of works have tried to reestablish team awareness by sharing change information across developers' workspaces. The main challenge of these approaches is to balance the tradeoff between offering useful information about the activity of others and avoiding information overload.
