A Software Project Management Method Based on Trust and Knowledge Sharing

Article Preview

Abstract:

Trust is the most important issue to create relationship making value in knowledge sharing. Knowledge itself cannot lead to a success, as knowledge sharing or flow of knowledge is of prime importance in an organization. Knowledge sharing depends on trust between trusted and trustee members in specific knowledge context and specific time slot. Trust level between members has a high impact on software project performance. The future work could include defining a role and measurement of trust and knowledge sharing in the software project performance.
