Knowledge Sharing in Software Development. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Nov 2008, Pages: 104
Knowledge sharing and coordination is a critical part
of “knowledge work”, the broad class of newly
dominant professions that hinge upon the successful
manipulation and recombination of knowledge and
information, rather than physical objects. Research
to date has looked at knowledge sharing in the
workplace as occurring primarily through intentional
acts – something shared through explicit
communication or codified for later use in knowledge
repositories such as databases or wikis. This focus
on the intentional omits consideration of how
knowledge may be shared through acts not explicitly
intended to be communicative. In this book, I
examine how knowledge sharing on small teams occurs
through work practice. Using ethnographic methods, I
document and analyze differences in knowledge sharing
on two software development teams that employ
different software development processes (eXtreme
Programming and the Waterfall method). This research
should be useful to all who seek to promote effective
knowledge sharing in the work place and may be of
particular interest to software development
professionals and managers.
