Abstract

Socio-technical represents a new area of research that focuses on the alignment between the coordination requirements established by the dependencies among tasks and the actual coordination activities carried out by the developers and other stakeholders in software development projects. Although the concept of congruence has been central in the system and organizational design literature [2,5], socio-technical congruence highlights the importance of identifying and tracking the dynamic relationship between social and technical dependencies. This change in focus allows us to make important progress in understanding and improving software development organizations, particularly those that are geographically distributed.
