Software Team Members' Personality on RE & Project Outcome - A Case Study
Requirement Engineering (RE) comprises human-centric activities requiring collaboration between different software development team roles. While prior research highlights the impact of personality on software development, there is limited empirical evidence on how team members' personalities affect RE. To address this gap, an exploratory case study was conducted with a software development team, observing their team meetings, conducting follow-up interviews and analysing their personality profiles via standard personality test. Identified potential impacts of team members' diverse personality characteristics on RE-related activities, along with a set of strategies that may be useful in overcoming challenges occurred due diverse personalities. These findings may provide a guidance to software teams looking to manage the impact of software team members' diverse personalities on RE and for researchers to investigate the impacts in diverse contexts.
