The proposed model is based on Hackman{\textquoteright}s [1] model of effectiveness of work teams, with coordination theory [2] and collective mind [3] to extend Hackman{\textquoteright}s model by elaborating team practices relevant to effectiveness in software development. We propose a set of propositions to guide further research.}, year = {2005}, journal = {Proceedings of the 38th Hawai{\textquoteright}i International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS)}, address = {Big Island, Hawai{\textquoteright}i, January}, doi = {10.1109/HICSS.2005.222}, note = {"Effective work practices for Software Engineering: Free/Libre Open Source Software Development".
