“…However, this is just an initial study with a small sample and future studied should sample randomly and also use other productivity measurements. Another part of the automotive software development that could be studied in the future is extending the work of Lenberg et al [13] and further look at how teams deal with safety-critical systems.…”

Background: Volvo Cars is pioneering an agile transformation on a large scale in the automotive industry. Social psychological aspects of automotive software development are an under-researched area in general. Few studies on team maturity or group dynamics can be found specifically in the automotive software engineering domain.Objective: This study is intended as an initial step to fill that gap by investigating the connection between issues and problem reports and team maturity.Method: We conducted a quantitative study with 84 participants from 14 teams and qualitatively validated the result with the Release Train Engineer having an overview of all the participating teams.Results: We find that the more mature a team is, the faster they seem to resolve issues as provided through external feedback, at least in the two initial team maturity stages.Conclusion: This study suggests that working on team dynamics might increase productivity in modern automotive software development departments, but this needs further investigation.
