Applying Network Centrality Topologies To Explore The Complexity Of Interaction In Software Development Project
Software development projects are one of the riskiest project types nowadays. Furthermore, almost two thirds of all software project have failed to deliver the product within the agreed cost, schedule or meet the stakeholders expectations. The ambiguity of complexity of interactions between the project components have been always playing an important role in this failure. This research uses the social network analyses, centrality and topologies to uncover and understand the complexity of those interactions. In addition to that this paper result in identifying the most influencing factors to software project.
Keywords: software development; network centrality; network topologies; complexity; interactions; project management
