The COVID-19 pandemic impacted the work dynamics of software development teams with the sudden adoption and subsequent continuation of remote work. New practices were adopted to maintain relationships between team members, mediated by computational tools. However, this presents an additional challenge for people with visual or hearing impairments. This study identifies different experiences of professionals with and without these disabilities in maintaining awareness when working remotely. To achieve this objective, 93 responses were collected through an online form from professionals, with and without visual or hearing impairments, and the supervision of a collaboration tool, among the most mentioned due to the lack of accessibility for people with visual impairments, using the Semiotic Inspection Method with Screen Reader (MIS-LT). The results point to different groups’ experiences with the use of collaborative tools on the social aspects of remote collaboration and an assessment of the communicability and accessibility of the inspected tool.

“…Estudos anteriores já trataram sobre fatores relacionados à acessibilidade de ferramentas para colaborac ¸ão remota [Ang et al 2022], à inclusão de pessoas com deficiência em equipes de desenvolvimento [Gomes Filho and De Toledo 2015, Albusays and Ludi 2016, Silva et al 2020], e à interac ¸ão de pessoas com deficiência em equipes de desenvolvimento remotas [Tang 2021, Pandey et al 2021. Porém, a análise da manutenc ¸ão do awareness, aspecto fundamental para a colaborac ¸ão remota, entre pessoas com deficiência em equipes de desenvolvimento, ainda necessita de maior investigac ¸ão.…”

A pandemia de COVID-19 impactou a dinâmica do trabalho das equipes de desenvolvimento de software com a adesão repentina e posterior continuidade do trabalho remoto. Novas práticas foram adotadas para manter as relações entre os membros das equipes, mediadas através de ferramentas computacionais. No entanto, isso representa um desafio adicional para pessoas com deficiência visual ou auditiva. Este estudo identifica as diferentes experiências dos profissionais com e sem estas deficiências para a manutenção do awareness no ambiente remoto. Para isto, foram analisadas 93 respostas fornecidas via formulário online por profissionais, com e sem deficiência visual e auditiva. Os resultados apontam diferentes experiências dos grupos com o uso das ferramentas colaborativas em relação aos aspectos sociais da interação remota.

[This Proceedings paper was revised and published in the journal Issues in Informing Science and Information Technology] Aim/Purpose : This paper aims to describe how various Kanban elements can help alleviate two prominent types of challenges, communication and collaboration in Global Software Development (GSD). Background: Iterative and Lean development methodologies like Kanban have gained significance in the software development industry, both in the co-located and globally distributed contexts. However, little is known on how such methodologies can help mitigate various challenges in that occur in a globally distributed software development context. Methodology: The study was conducted using a single-case study based on a general inductive approach to analysis and theory development. Through the literature review, collaboration and communication challenges that GSD teams face were identified. Data collected through semi-structured interviews was then inductively analyzed to describe how the case-study teams employed various Kanban elements to mitigate communication and collaboration challenges they face during GSD. Findings: The study found that some Kanban elements, when properly employed, can help alleviate collaboration and communication challenges that occur within GSD teams. These relate to Inclusion Criteria, Reverse Items, Kanban Board, Policies, Avatars, and Backlog. Contribution: The paper contributes to knowledge by proposing two simple concept maps that detail the specific types of communication and collaboration challenges which can be alleviated by the aforementioned Kanban elements in GSD. Recommendations for Practitioners: This paper is relevant to GSD teams who are seeking ways to enhance their team collaboration and communication as these are the most important elements that contribute to GSD project success. It is recommended that relevant Kanban elements be used to that effect, depending on the challenges that they aim to alleviate. Future Research: Future research can investigate the same research questions (or similar ones) using a quantitative approach.
