Engineering software engineering teams

Engineering software engineering teams

This paper presents novel ideas for understanding how software engineering teams communicate and coordinate. We utilize these ideas to understand how these teams should be constructed and what individuals and managers can do to ensure that teams perform at high levels. Our view is based on numerous observations and interactions with enterprise software engineering teams and influenced by economic models of information sharing. We propose that neither a fully top-down nor bottom-up approach is entirely suitable for teams; rather teams must be cognizant of this issue and work to embrace both models of information flow. This, in turn, can be facilitated by the role of intercessor who seeks to properly guide, direct, and curate both top-down and bottom-up information flows.

Information Science as Knowledge Translation

Information science as knowledge translation

Bulletin of the American Society for Information Science

In the medical field, knowledge translation is the process of putting research findings into action for patient education, practitioners’ use and further research. It is a method of codifying what has been learned through research to improve communication within the professional community. The same view of knowledge sharing may be applied to library and information science (LIS). But the LIS community has been slow to adopt and implement our own research, to gain practical value by translating theory to knowledge. Greater attention should be paid to communication within the professional community to ensure the effective spread and use of knowledge gleaned from information science research. Just as medical informatics serves knowledge transfer in the field of medicine, exploring community informatics could shed light on how other disciplines, including LIS, translate knowledge to action through communication processes within professional communities.
