“…The findings are supported by the results from an experimental study to establish and device a team formation model for selecting teams by Omar, Aljasim, Ahmad et al (2015) that team formation approaches have significant impact on team performance. In support, Rong and Shao (2012) and Zenger (2009) aver that multiple criteria for selecting team members can improve the individual and team performance essential for project success. Theoretically, team formation practices are said to enhance team productivity and performance (Jayarathn and Weerakkody, 2016).…”

The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of team management practices (team formation, team motivation, team communication and team dispute resolution) on the performance of community-based projects in Embu, Kenya. Appropriate research hypothesis was derived from the substantive objective. Descriptive-correlational survey design was used to implement the research inquiry. The target population was 34 community-based projects in being implemented in Embu County. A sample of 32 projects was arrived at using Krejcie and Morgan table of sample determination. Proportionate stratified random sampling was used to select 32 project team leaders. Appropriate data was garnered using structured questionnaires. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The results suggest that at F (1,156) =4.934, P=0.000<0.05 implying that at 95% the relationship was statistically significant. The correlation coefficient (R=0.653) showed that there exists strong positive correlation between team management practices and performance community-based projects. The coefficient of determination (R 2 =0.426) implied that team management practices explained 42.6% of performance of community-based projects. The findings have immense contribution to both knowledge and practice in the areas of team management practices and performance of community-based projects. Follow up studies should focus on testing similar variables across different project set-ups while triangulating different methodologies in order to derive more generalizable results.

Abstract:One of the important elements in building effective teamwork is team leader selection. In a team, leadership is the most significant role which contributes to the success of a software project. During team leader selection, there are several criteria that should be considered for decision makers. With regard to this problem, selecting team leader can be considered as Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) problem. One of the most popular techniques of MCDM that can be employed in selecting the suitable team leader is Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). AHP techniques consists of three key principles which are hierarchy framework, priority analysis and consistency verification. Thus, this paper presents AHP steps to select suitable team leader based on four criteria which are personality type, academic achievement, teamwork experience, and previous programming grade. Result illustrates that AHP technique can assist decision maker to effectively evaluate the alternatives in order to select suitable team leader, particularly for Software Engineering (SE) education community.

“…The concept of team work is highly suggested now a day for the software development that minimizes the development time and leads to the better quality software development (Omar et al, 2011;Figl, 2010;Yu et al, 2009;Humphrey, 2006;Marques & Ochoa, 2014). Therefore, selecting the team members and specially team leader seems to be very crucial for timely completion of the project (Gilley at al., 2010;Rong & Shao, 2012). Tseng et al (2009) argued about the capabilities of a team leader for deciding the work flow to minimize the time of design and effectively use of all team members for the achievement of the main goal.…”

In the era of technology, the demand of the software development increases at a very high speed, as software has touched the human's life in all aspects. The better quality software development acquiring minimum development time leads to the team work in which a group of people has been formed that work together in a team for the software development. One of the most significant issues in effective and efficient teamwork is the team leader selection because the team leader is the person in any team that is going to handle all types of managerial activities such as leadership, motivation to others, etc. The team leader selection process may be dependent on numerous conflicting selection indexes that make it a Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) problem. In the present research, an MCDM approach namely, Euclidean Distance Based Approximation (EDBA) which is based on the calculation of the composite distance value for each alternative from a hypothetical optimal point is presented. The result of this study provides a comprehensive ranking of team leaders that leads to the right selection of team leader in information technology (IT) sector. 2017 Growing Science Ltd.
