Characterizing Team Orientation, Leadership and Coordination Strategies Used by System Analysis and Design Teams
Abstract
There is an increasing need to design and implement technological solutions to span scientific advances, facilitate people’s life and increase the efficiency of daily tasks. This brings into the picture professionals with sufficient technical skills to bring to life these technological solutions. Considering the outreach and size of said solutions, technical knowledge is not enough to succeed, but soft skills such as communication and teamwork. Engineering and technology professionals need to function effectively in teams to accomplish a common goal. Therefore, this study characterizes the strategies that teams use in order to accomplish their goals through successful team interactions. In addition, this study explores how these strategies vary during a semester-long project and how these variations may affect team interactions and different performance indicators.
