Abstract
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.
