Um mapeamento sistemático das soft skills requeridas por equipes ágeis em projetos de software

Abstract

The constant technological advances have led companies to become increasingly competitive, looking for skilled professionals who have specific skills and competencies in certain areas in order to leverage their business, achieve their goals and add value to their customers. This paper aims to identify which are the most important interpersonal competencies so that software development professionals can act successfully within agile teams. The research is a systematic mapping with an exploratory and qualitative approach, gathering relevant works that address the theme. The search protocol was defined using the Start tool for article selection and subsequent selective, analytical, and interpretative reading of the works found. As a result it was possible to identify that the soft skills most required to work with software projects in agile teams were communication, transparency, and feedback. The most outstanding skills required to develop team activities were mutual support, collaboration, and teamwork, while in the individual profile were found adaptability, proactivity, and flexibility.
