Abstract
The use of online communication tools in today's modern software systems development has created a culture of transparency. With communication tools widely available, information travels across the teams and projects in an ecosystem. Communication and coordination is critical for the success of software systems development. The previous study of IBM’s collaborative life-cycle management proved the existence and importance of emergent contributors in the requirement development phase of a work item. These contributors are difficult to find at the ecosystem level. This report discusses the methodology to find the source of emergent contributors in IBM collaborative life-cycle management data using the Reference Coupling methodology.
