Towards Understanding the Use of Wiki in Agile Software Development

Abstract

The practice of agile methodologies can lead to the creation, communication, and consumption of different types of knowledge. For appropriate (re)use, there is a need to manage such knowledge effectively. In this paper, a framework comprising of related conceptual models as means for understanding the use of Wiki for managing knowledge in agile software development is proposed. In doing so, Wiki is placed in a larger context of the Social Web environment, illustrative examples are given, and implications of committing to a Wiki are highlighted.

Small Educational Steps Towards Improving the Status of Women in Software Engineering

Furthermore, the software project teams could be asked to use a Social Wiki for communication and collaboration [31].…”

The Visual Display of Temporal Information for E-Textbook: Incorporating the Mind-mapped Timeline Authoring Tool

It is equipped with a real time editor supported by Wiki markup (WikiML), which is a language similar to but less expressive (see Table 1) than HTML [20]. As "Wiki can be easily created using popular software, such as wikispaces.com and MediaWiki" [21], it can serve as a platform for collaborative learning.…”
