Registro e compartilhamento de informação no desenvolvimento de software com inovação

Abstract

When developing software for Innovation, Startups strive to discover or even create a market opportunity to which they will propose a solution. The Startup takes risks related to the uncertainties on the problem and the proposed solution. It leads Startups to implement practices to validate the proposal as early as possible gradually. The flexible nature of software regarding changes favors the adoption of incremental and evolutionary development methodologies, allowing Startups to probe their ideas in the market frequently. Along with the high uncertainty about the software pertinence, this makes the team consider the elaboration and updating of documentation about software ideas and characteristics as inappropriate activities. However, in a future context after software evolution cycles, the lack of knowledge about the software ideas and characteristics can harm the productivity of the development, maintenance, and evolution of software, or even prevent the development of innovative features. In this thesis, a conceptual context model was developed to support Startups to make decisions about the adoption of practices and technologies to software information sharing and registration for the development team. Based on empirical evidence, the model defines elements to enable software Startups contexts comparison, which is an essential requirement for transferring technology on software information registering and sharing among software Startups.
