abstract |
Mature eXtreme programming (XP) teams are highly collaborative and selforganising.
In previous studies, we have observed that these teams rely on two apparently simple
mechanisms of co-ordination and collaboration: story cards and the Wall. Story cards
capture and embody the user stories which form the basis of implementation, while
the Wall is a physical space used to organise and display the cards being implemented
during the current development cycle (called an iteration). In this paper we analyse
the structure and use of story cards and the Wall in three mature XP teams, using
a distributed cognition approach. The teams work in different commercial organisations
developing different systems, yet we find significant similarities between their use
of these two artefacts. Although simple, teams use the cards and the Wall in sophisticated
ways to represent and communicate information that is vital to support their activities.
We discuss the significance of the physical medium for the story cards and the Wall
in an XP team and discuss the considerations that need to be taken into account for
the design of technology to support the teams. |
