ABSTRACT:
Developer need to coordinate their work and often do that through means of direct communication. We are currently conducting a study at the Zurich IBM Rational Labs and through a series of questionnaires and interviews we explore different technical, social and process related influences that change the behavior on how and when people request information about changes. Changes can reach from source code to work item changes. With the study we so far had a chance to gain a glance at the Release Endgame of the RTC development cycle and found that different aspects of this special phase alone influence how and when people communicate.
