My software engineer professor mentioned the other day that the organization of social groupings of those on a software design team can impact the quality of the final software deliverable. You can improve your software product not by changing programming techniques or languages or adding tools but just by adjusting how the people on the team work together.
Is this really such a new concept? There is an entire scholarly field based on how people in workplaces communicate, so I’m quite confident that the way people work together impacts their product. Perhaps its another example of how computer science can sometimes be behind the times with social issues and concepts.
