“…Iriarte and Bayona 62 conducted a systematic literature review of soft skills in IT project success, which showed the importance of the role of project managers in the performance of a project. Massago et al (2018) through a systematic mapping try to identify the sociocultural aspects that can influence a software production process. The objective of this paper was to propose an approach that classifies aspects in three perspectives: collaboration, people, and external, which allows the project manager to make decisions about the performance of human resources and mitigate problems arising from communication, cooperation, and coordination, generating better results in indicators of productivity, quality, and efficiency of GSD teams.…”

The objective of this study is to analyze the current perspective as regards knowledge related to what causes stress or motivates developers, how these two aspects are related to each other, and how this in turn affects their performance in the sphere of Global Software Development and how these can be controlled. This paper presents the results obtained after conducting a systematic mapping study of literature in order to analyze how stress, motivation, and performance affect the project members in Global Software Development teams. We carried out a systematic mapping of published studies dealing with stress, motivation, and performance in global software engineering. A total of 118 papers dealing with this subject were found. The literature analyzed provided a relatively significant quantity of data referring to the impact that the characteristics of distributed software development projects have on the performance and productivity of teams, along with the actions taken to improve that performance. However, when focusing on the analysis of the impact of this type of projects on team members' motivation, and on the actions that can be taken to improve that motivation, we discovered that the number of works decreases considerably and that works referring to the impact of this kind of development on developers' stress were virtually non‐existent, as were those concerning ways in which to improve that stress. We are, therefore, of the opinion that it is necessary to carry out in‐depth research into the aspects of working in distributed teams that may have a negative impact on developers' levels of motivation and stress, along with what could be beneficial in order to improve levels of motivation and decrease levels of stress.

Objetivo: o objetivo desta pesquisa foi identificar e analisar as formas de entrada e os conhecimentos obtidos por pequenas empresas de software em experiências de internacionalização.Método: é um estudo qualitativo, realizado com cinco estudos de casos de pequenos empreendedores. Foram utilizados dados primários e secundários. Dados primários foram obtidos em nove entrevistas abertas e semiestruturadas, e os dados secundários em web sites das empresas. Os dados foram categorizados em formas de entrada e conhecimentos obtidos. Os dados desta última categoria foram complementarmente analisados com uso do software Iramuteq. Principais resultados: como conhecimentos gerados, foram identificadas seis classes de conhecimentos, sendo: a) mercados e destinos; b) ação para colocar o produto no mercado internacional; c) apoio e busca de conhecimentos externos; d) necessidade de qualificação para o processo de internacionalização e parcerias locais; e) visão do mercado local; f) complexidade do processo de internacionalização. Relevância/originalidade: o estudo das experiências de internacionalização e conhecimentos obtidos é uma abordagem original, pois destaca as formas de entrada e os conhecimentos obtidos por pequenas empresas de software em experiências de internacionalização. Contribuições teóricas/metodológicas: os resultados mostraram que a aprendizagem nas experiências de internacionalização favoreceu o aumento do conhecimento de mercado internacional e contribuiu para melhoria de competitividade no mercado local.

The Software Process Improvement (SPI) Manifesto is based on three basic values: people, business focus and organisational change underpinning the philosophy of SPI. In turn, these values bring up to date certain SPI principles serving as a foundation for action in software development. The authors of this paper carried out a pilot expert validation of the sociocultural dimension of the sociocultural, technical, economic, environmental, political, legal, ethical and demographic analysis of the SPI Manifesto. Further, the authors report on the rationale and results of the pilot validation of both the survey instrument and the qualitative responses generated by the field experts, targeting to enlighten and reinforce the importance of the sociocultural dimension of the SPI Manifesto in research and development. The related literature review findings and the pilot research study strengthen this target. The pilot study with experts in particular provided stronger indications that the sociocultural dimension is considered of high importance by between 62% and 88% of the respondents, who were IT and computing professionals and software practitioners from academia and industry.
