Abstract
This paper investigates how developers and IT operations staff interact in software development projects. We analyse data from 42 IT professionals from 18 Norwegian firms through the lens of social interaction and project management theory. Our analysis suggests that their social interactions are hampered by a variety of factors. The study contributes to the research by providing an analysis of the elements of social interaction and how they contribute to better outcomes. For practice, we offer an assessment instrument for improving the social interaction in software development projects.
