A few software development team structures have been proposed based on tasks and job descriptions, but no team structure or model has been proposed to assemble software development teams based on individual characteristic and trait differences. This thesis presents two studies that support the argument that a new model needs to be developed for assembling software development teams. A roadmap for developing such a model is presented as the response to the inapplicability of applying current models to software development team assembly.In CopyrightBelbinsoftware engineeringpersonalityteamsMTR-iteam rolesKeirseyThesishttp://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/available/etd-06112003-133208/
