Systematic management of experience and knowledge in distributed software
development promises huge increases in effectivity and efficiency.
Yet, specific problems need to be overcome: Communication between
partners is difficult and awareness about the knowledge available
at different locations is impaired. Even motivated developers are
often reluctant to share experiences, because they do not know where
and how to submit them as well as if they are allowed to share sensitive
information or intellectual property. If they submit, their experiences
are often presented in a way not useful for others and cannot be
easily refined into best practices. In this paper we identify barriers
of knowledge sharing in a literature review and discuss how dedicated
tool support and automated heuristic critiques can mitigate such
problems by offering the following features and qualities: guidance
of project participants in creating experiences that will more likely
be helpful, positive influence of their motivation to share, and
easily accessible and integrated into a trustworthy experience engineering
processes. Preliminary evaluation with a prototype shows that this
concept can increase willingness to submit experience as well as
their quality.
