论文简介
In contemporary software development, software process tailoring (SPT) refers to the continual planning and adjustment of the development process, which evolves to better accommodate dynamics and meet customer needs. SPT is a critical teamwork involving the differences in time-related perceptions among team members when tailoring to adjust and refine the development. This is particularly true in agile-based projects that promote iterative development over shorter cycle times for early release; thus, temporality is critical to efficiently and effectively determine a process solution for the next iteration of time-bound development. In this regard, this study theorizes a temporal model to explore how teams' temporal leadership, temporal reflexivity and shared temporal cognitions (STC) collectively determine SPT performance in agile environments. Based on an empirical examination, we suggest facilitating the role of temporal leadership in agile development, as the results demonstrate that it not only directly increases SPT performance but also stimulates both temporal reflexivity and STC in their collateral influences on effectual development planning. Notably, the results also show that team reflexivity does not exert the same favorable effect in SPT as in the distributed team environment. Theoretical implications are considered, and practical applications of the findings are provided.
在当代软件开发中，软件过程裁剪(SPT)指的是对开发过程的持续计划和调整，它的发展是为了更好地适应动态并满足客户需求。SPT是一种关键的团队合作，涉及团队成员在调整和细化开发时与时间相关的感知差异。这在基于敏捷的项目中尤其正确，这些项目在较短的周期时间内促进迭代开发，以便尽早发布;因此，对于为有时间限制的开发的下一个迭代有效地确定过程解决方案，时间性是至关重要的。为此，本研究建立了一个时间模型，探讨团队的时间领导力、时间反身性和共享时间认知(STC)如何共同决定敏捷环境下的SPT绩效。基于实证研究，我们建议促进时间领导在敏捷开发中的作用，因为结果表明，它不仅直接提高了SPT绩效，而且还刺激了时间反身性和STC对有效开发规划的附带影响。值得注意的是，研究结果还表明，团队反身性在SPT中并不像在分布式团队环境中那样发挥同样有利的作用。考虑了理论意义，并提供了研究结果的实际应用。
