In an agile business environment, teamwork quality is underlining key element of successful projects and overall team performance. In the Scrum framework, self-managing team is a central element of success. Self-managing teams introduced a new concept of teams and emphasized the importance of individual member effort and the way it affects team performance. The focus of this paper is on teamwork quality in self-managing teams and the way it affects the overall team performance. Teamwork quality is defined by six subconstructs: communication, coordination, balance of member contributions, mutual support, effort, and cohesion, while team performance is defined with effectiveness and efficiency. A survey of 260 respondents from the IT sector in Bosnia and Herzegovina was conducted and in both tested models, our results have confirmed that the highest effect on team effectiveness comes from mutual support, with slightly different – but still significant, impact of team cohesion and effort.
Due to the unprecedented rise of data content over the last decade, an opportunity for databased personalization and analysis has become a norm in the modern world. By implementing Machine Learning algorithms and Data Science methods no industry remained unchanged. This paper applied these methods and algorithms in personal, practical examples in order to see their benefits in our day-today lives. For the purpose of this case study, we analyzed three cases: a personal movie recommender, messages analysis and real estate trends and predictions on the local market. For this research we used global and personal data, and applied a suitable machine learning model. The purpose of this paper is to establish how one individual, and in what measure, with the use of these new technological tools, can ease his decision making process and manage a more tailored lifestyle.
