Integrating collaboration engineering with software process modeling: a visual approach

The way as a team interact is determinant for increasing the software organization capability. So, recognize the best interaction mechanisms is a key strategy in order to improve performance in software development teams. Since a growing number of available SPEM 2.0 process models, we propose use this kind of the models as a tool, coAVISPA, in order to identify collaboration aspects to be potentially incorporated as improvement strategies for software development teams. coAVISPA follows a visual strategy and collaboration patterns applied to tasks and roles blueprints. A case study indicates that coAVISPA is an effective analysis tool.
