METHOD FRAGMENTS TO SUPPORT COLLABORATIVE TEAMWORK FOR SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS

Collaborative work, and especially CSCW, requires methodological support. One methodological approach is that of situational meth od engineering (SME). In the SME context, support for CSCW teams and teamwork has been identified as being deficient. Using a repository of method fragments constructed from a standard metamodel, we analyze the gaps and propose new method fragments that will all ow a methodology focussed upon CSCW to be effectively constructed from the fragment rep ository.
