“…In the context of software engineering, Capretz and Ahmed, Rivera‐Ibarra et al, Espinosa‐Curiel et al, and Holtkamp et al are some of the studies that analyzed important technical and human skills for professional practice in the field of software development. The study of Raffa and Zollo related entrepreneurial skills with the innovative capacity of small software companies, while Crawford et al emphasize the entrepreneurial skills in a study about incorporating an entrepreneurship concentration into the undergraduate information technology curriculum.…”

This article addresses the relationships between agile development and entrepreneurship. The objective of the study is to verify that the adoption of agile practices can promote entrepreneurial skills in software developers. In this study, agile practices were related to entrepreneurial skills, and developers of the software industry and academia professors were invited to contribute. Questionnaires were sent to the participants to obtain their opinion regarding this research. Participants also opined about the possibility of entrepreneurial skills being an observable behavior in agile culture, ie, if they are visible artifacts of agile culture. As a result, the study found a set of agile practices that promote entrepreneurial skills in software developers. That is, it was found that agile practices promote entrepreneurial behavior in these professionals. These entrepreneurial skills are sustained by the same basic values and assumptions that were learned by developers to resolve internal integration and external adaptation issues during the adoption of agile practices. In this article, an integration model has been adapted from other areas, thereby opening a new field of study involving the relationships between academic research and professional practice on entrepreneurship in the software area and agile development.

“…Research dealing with SEs performance have concentrated their studies mostly on: personality traits and characteristics (Caprtez, 2003;Feldt, et al, 2010); skills possessed (Lerouge, et al, 2005;McMurtrey, et al, 2008;Taylor &Woelfer, 2009); and competencies (Curiel, et al, 2011;Curtis, et al, 2001;Ho & Frampton, 2010;McGuire & Randall, 1998) especially in a global software development scenario (Colomo-Palacios, et al, 2014b). There are no known studies about the continuous evaluation of SEs performance for R&R and hence there are no direct measures of such performance evaluation.…”

Reward and Recognition (R&R) should be given to employees in a timely manner, based on continuous evaluation of their performance. Success of an R&R process lies in clear and well defined criteria for continuous evaluation of employee performance. Often such criteria are decided by the organization with no input from the employees. The purpose of this paper is to use qualitative research methods to explore and identify the criteria to be used for continuous employee performance evaluation for R&R in Information Technology organizations, from the perspectives of software engineers (SEs) and project managers (PMs). Exploratory research was conducted in two phases. In Phase I, unstructured interviews are used to elicit information from 7 SEs. Caselets are prepared based on these interviews and 19 criteria are identified. In Phase II, the criteria identified in Phase I are confirmed using content analysis of semi-structured interviews, conducted on relatively larger group of SEs (in stage 1) and PMs (in stage 2). Additionally, 12 criteria are also identified in Phase II. Collectively 31 criteria are identified. The proposed criteria set is expected to comprehensively cover the SE performance on a continuous basis in various dimensions to award R&R.
