Continuous Coordination (CC): A New Collaboration Paradigm (Pages 69-72)

The increase in software complexity introduced the need for software development teams and consequently the need to coordinate team members’ activities and create a shared awareness. We seek to overcome some the pitfalls of earlier attempts to coordinate software development through a new coordination paradigm we term Continuous Coordination (CC). Generally speaking, the CC paradigm complements formal synchronization with support for informal activities. In this paper, we define the CC paradigm within three dimensions and demonstrate how we embodied CC through a spectrum of Eclipse plug-ins.
