CrossTalk: The Journal of Defense Software Engineering. Volume 20, Number 11, November 2007

Abstract

Effective software development teams need to have a mutual commitment to work together towards a common goal. This level of mutual commitment doesn't happen just by telling people that we want them to work as a team. Such commitment requires several enablers. Many of the articles in this month's addition will touch upon processes for creating teams that truly work together. Starting with LTC Nanette Patton and Allan Shechet, they address achieving project success in "Wisdom for Building the Project Manager/Project Sponsor Relationship: Partnership for Project Success." Jennifer Tucker and Hile Rutledge describe the necessity of maximizing team performance in "Shaping Motivation and Emotion in Technology Teams," and Kasey Thompson and Tim Border teach managers to build more efficient teams in their article "The Gauge That Pays: Project Navigation and Team Building."
