Organizational Learning: From Experience to Knowledge (2011, neutral): “Research in software development has shown that specialized experience in a system improved individual productivity, whereas diverse experience in related systems improved group and organizational productivity (Boh et al. 2007).”
Don't touch my code!: examining the effects of ownership on software quality (2011, background): “found that project specific expertise has a much larger impact on the time required to perform development tasks than high levels of diverse experience in unrelated projects [7].”
Explaining Discontinuity in Organizational Learning: A Process Analysis (2010, background): “Further, there is substantial consensus that organizational learning includes individual-, group- and organization-level processes (Boh et al. 2007; Crossan et al. 1999; Easterby-Smith et al. 2000).”
Transactive Memory Systems 1985–2010: An Integrative Framework of Key Dimensions, Antecedents, and Consequences (2011, background): “Hospital surgical teams (Reagans et al, 2005 ), software development groups (Boh, Slaughter, & Espinosa, 2007 ) and product assembly teams (Argote & Epple, 1990 ) have all been shown to improve their performance with increases in group experience.”
Unpacking Team Familiarity: The Effects of Geographic Location and Hierarchical Role (2012, background): “Organizations often struggle with the complex and uncertain activities of development projects, unable to learn from their experience (Boh et al. 2007, Herroelen 2005).”
