Stories from the Mobile Workplace: An Emerging Narrative Ethnography
Johanna Hunt, Pablo Romero, Judith Good · PPIG · 2006
This paper presents preliminary results from a narrative- ethnographic field study of a small mobile software development com- pany. Initial ethnographic findings are presented, and further narrative analysis is proposed in the areas of stories relating to programmer stereo- typing, war stories, and humour. It is expected that the study will form the first case-study for a broader comparative investigation into how sto- ries are used and told across software development methodologies.
