“…Both codification [20] strategy and systems school practice depend on the technology which applies Nonaka's [34] externalization conversion technique to convert tacit knowledge into explicit knowledge. Research shows that the technocratic school is closely related with traditional software development and those who are developing software through traditional approaches they are probably benefiting from the technocratic schools [15]. On the other hand, behavioral schools are more related with the agile approaches and agile teams are more benefit more from the behavioral school.…”

“…These knowledge repositories usually store domain specific information. The codification of knowledge can be compared with the externalization of knowledge by Nonaka [15]. It is easy to realize the benefits of knowledge bases and the systems school is the most researched school [4].…”

“…The spatial school is more concerned with the development and utilization of the social capital which develops from people interactions, formal or informal, repeatedly over time [17]. The spatial school focuses on designing office space to promote knowledge sharing [15]. Organizations use different office settings to promote communication between people.…”

Abstract-Knowledge management (KM) is essential for success in global software development. Software organizations are now managing knowledge in innovative ways to increase productivity. In agile software development, collaboration and coordination depend on the communication, which is the key to success. To maintain effective collaboration and coordination in distributed agile projects, practitioners need to adopt different types of knowledge sharing techniques and strategies. There are also few studies that focus on knowledge sharing in distributed agile projects. This research identified the knowledge sharing techniques and strategies applied by the practitioners in distributed agile projects. Challenges faced by the practitioners during knowledge sharing in distributed agile projects are also identified and discussed.

“…There is a direct implication of knowledge management as a theory support for many aspects of software engineering, one of these trends is the school of engineering toward the process [44]. Software process from the perspective of knowledge, can produce knowledge, change their states, and reside in process participants, this is reflected as patterns.…”

-This article presents a set of patterns that can be found to perform best practices in software processes that are directly related to the problem of implementing the activities of the process, the roles involved, the knowledge generated and the inputs and outputs belonging to the process. In this work, a definition of the architecture is encouraged by using different recurrent configurations that strengthen the process and yield efficient results for the development of a software project. The patterns presented constitute a catalog, which serves as a vocabulary for communication among project participants [1], [2], and also can be implemented through software tools, thus facilitating patterns implementation [3]. Additionally, a tool that can be obtained under GPL (General Public license) is provided for this purpose.

“…Estos elementos son conocidos como factores habilitadores o factores de éxito de la GC, los cuales pueden ser entendidos como mecanismos organizacionales para, intencional y consistentemente, desarrollar conocimiento (Heeseok Lee & Byounggu Choi, 2003). Estos factores tienen una fuerte influencia en el desempeño de la organización en la GC y en el desempeño y eficiencia de la organización en general (Allameh, Zare, & Davoodi, 2011;Bhatti, Hussain, & Iqbal, 2013;Heeseok Lee & Byounggu Choi, 2003;C.-F. Ho, Hsieh, & Hung, 2014;C.-T. Ho, 2009;Yeh, Lai, & Ho, 2006 Es importante destacar que en el contexto particular de las ODS, la GC y sus factores de éxito han sido concebidos como elementos claves pues el principal activo y también el principal producto de estas organizaciones es el conocimiento en diversas formas (Aurum, Daneshgar, & Ward, 2008;Bjørnson & Dingsøyr, 2008;Dingsøyr, Bjornson, & Shull, 2009;Rus & Lindvall, 2002). En este orden de ideas, el propósito de este artículo es presentar los resultados de una investigación que busca responder a la pregunta: ¿cuáles son los factores de éxito y las barreras que inciden en la implementación de procesos de GC en las ODS colombianas?…”

Estudio exploratorio sobre factores de éxito y barreras para la gestión de conocimiento en organizaciones desarrolladoras de software en ColombiaEstudio exploratorio sobre factores de éxito y barreras para la gestión de conocimiento en organizaciones desarrolladoras de software en Colombia RESUMEN: La Gestión del Conocimiento (GC) es una disciplina clave para las Organizaciones Desarrolladoras de Software (ODS), dado que el conocimiento en sus diversas formas es el activo y el producto principal de estas organizaciones. Este artículo identifica los factores de éxito en la implementación de la GC y las barreras que dificultan su aplicación en ODS. Para alcanzar el objetivo se realizó una encuesta entre los representantes de 129 ODS en Colombia. Entre las conclusiones se destacan la identificación de los factores humanos como los más relevantes para el éxito en la GC, y el alto costo y baja disponibilidad de recursos financieros y humanos, y el desconocimiento y la inexperiencia en GC como los principales obstáculos para la aplicación de la GC. Este estudio podría ser utilizado como una referencia para la identificación y el establecimiento de las condiciones que podrían influir en presentes o futuras implementaciones de GC.Palabras clave: Barreras; Gestión del Conocimiento; Factores de éxito; Organizaciones Desarrolladoras de Software. JEL: M1, L2ABSTRACT: Knowledge Management (KM) is a key discipline for Software Development Organizations (SDO) because the main asset and the main product of these organizations is knowledge in diverse forms. This study identified the factors considered determinants for the success in KM implementation and the barriers that difficult the implementation of KM. For reaching the objective, a survey among representatives of 129 SDO in Colombia was conducted. One of the findings of this study is the identification of Human-oriented factors as the most relevant factors for the success of KM, and the high cost and low availability of financial and human resources, and unawareness and inexperience in KM as the main barriers for the implementation of KM. This study could be used as a reference for identifying and establishing the existing conditions that could influence in present or future KM implementations.
