Background
  • SPIKE project
  • Research project funded by NFR 2003-2005
  • Participants
  • Abelia Innovasjon
  • SINTEF, NTNU, UiO / Simula Research Laboratory
  • 10-12 partners in Norwegian ICT industry
  • 3 industrial partners in Trondheim
  • Focus in Trondheim companies
  • Improved internal knowledge management
  • RUP adaptation for use as a process guide
  • Develop method framework and implement in EPG

The study so far
  • The mentoring approach to knowledge sharing in a
    small IT company.
  • Litterature study
  • ACM, IEEE, EBSCO
  • Interviews
  • 6 interviews
  • Interview guide
  • Recorded and transcribed
  • Analyzed
  • Workshop with results

Results from initial interviews
  • Identified positive feelings about mentoring

  • How does this theme fit in our definition of
    Software Engineering?
  • Ideas for future work?
