    We are living in the age of information technology and software has become the driving force behind almost everything being done all around the world. The people developing this software are, thus, the real assets in the present world; ordinary people whose brains are working day and night to bring the extraordinary technical touches in our day-to-day lives. Therefore, taking care of these valuable assets and organizing them in the right way is the key to success. Team structure is a critical aspect of the software-development process. Software houses all around the world follow certain team structures to make the best use of their employees’ working abilities. This research focuses on the team structures prevalent in software houses in Pakistan and their impact on the productivity of employees and quality of software. A number of surveys were conducted to see how teams are organized and managed in software houses in Pakistan and to gather views on what changes in the current structures would yield better productivity and quality. Then, based on the findings of the surveys, experiments were conducted to see how much the factors pointed out really affected the productivity and quality.
