Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

A software development team must integrate many process perspectives imposed by the client, the organization, team management, and team dynamics. All these perspectives intermingle at the team process level. We propose a taxonomy to define the various episodes observed at this level and a useful vocabulary for reporting the observations made. Our taxonomy is based on a previous literature review performed in the business management field and adapted in this paper for the software engineering field. It was applied on existing data obtained from a real project carried out with an industrial partner. The vocabulary defined can accurately present team interactions, and may help diagnose communication breakdowns leading to project failures. The benefit of this approach is that it enables team process activities to be measured without reference to specific concepts related to perspectives other than that of the team process.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
