Impact of agile practices on organization learning: a model for knowledge creating and sharing in agile teams
Get PDFO desenvolvimento de softwares é caracterizado como uma atividade intensiva de conhecimento e o sucesso dos projetos depende diretamente do conhecimento mantido pelos profissionais envolvidos no processo. Por esse motivo, são necessárias estratégias de gestão do conhecimento que auxiliem no processo de criação e compartilhamento do conhecimento entre as equipes desenvolvedoras de softwares. A ausência de estratégias para o compartilhamento do conhecimento acarreta em retrabalho, pois os profissionais estarão constantemente criando soluções para situações vivenciadas anteriormente. Além disso, a organização perde conhecimento quando um profissional experiente é transferido de projeto ou deixa a companhia. Nesse sentido, esse projeto propõe um estudo que visa responder à seguinte questão de pesquisa: Qual o impacto da utilização de práticas ágeis no processo de aprendizagem organizacional em empresas de software considerando os níveis individual, de grupo e organizacional? Dessa forma, o objetivo do estudo proposto é identificar quais as estratégias para a gestão do conhecimento são mais difundidas entre as equipes desenvolvedoras de software e avaliar qual o impacto causado pela utilização de práticas ágeis sobre o processo de aprendizagem organizacional. A condução desse estudo foi dividida em duas etapas. Na primeira etapa foi realizada uma revisão sistemática de literatura (SLR) com o objetivo de identificar os constructos que compõem o modelo descrito nesse projeto. Na segunda etapa será conduzida uma pesquisa do tipo survey com o objetivo de validar o modelo proposto. Os dados coletados nessa pesquisa serão tratados e analisados com a aplicação de técnicas estatísticas, tais como análise fatorial e modelagem de equações estruturais. Os resultados obtidos por essa pesquisa servirão de base para outros estudos no campo da engenharia de software e gestão do conhecimento. Além disso, esse estudo fornecerá mecanismos para que os profissionais da área de engenharia de software implementem estratégias que colaborem com a criação e compartilhamento do conhecimento em suas equipes
Impact of agile practices adoption on organizational learning: a model for knowledge creating and sharing in agile teams
No full textSoftware development is an intensive knowledge activity and the project's success depends directly on the knowledge held by professionals involved in process. Therefore, is necessary to adopt knowledge management strategies to assist in the knowledge creation and sharing among software developers teams. The absence of strategies for knowledge sharing leads to rework, because professionals are constantly creating solutions to situations solved previously. Moreover, the organization loses knowledge when an expert professional goes to other project or leaves the company. In this sense, this project proposes a study to answer the research question: \textbf{What is the relationship between agile practices adoption and the organizational learning process in software companies?} Thus, the proposed study objective is identify which strategies for knowledge management are more widespread among software development teams and evaluate the impact caused by agile practices adoption on the organizational learning process. The conduct of this study was divided into two stages. In first stage was carried out a systematic literature review (SLR) in order to identify the constructs that compose the model described in this research project. In the second stage we conducted a survey research in order to validate the proposed model. Collected data in this survey was processed and analyzed using structural equation modeling. Research results provide basis for further studies in the field of software engineering and knowledge management. Additionally, this study provide mechanisms for software engineering professionals implement strategies that contribute to the knowledge creation and sharing in their teams
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
