Authors: Nandhakumar, Joe
Source: Information Society. Jul2002, Vol. 18 Issue 4, p251-262. 12p.
Subjects: Time management, Information technology, Time perspective, Computer software development -- Management
Abstract: This article reports an ethnographic study that investigates the ways in which time was experienced and managed in an information systems (IS) development project. The study is based on 6 months of intensive overt participant observation of the development of Executive Information Systems in a large multinational company. Drawing on time geography, this article discusses a social perspective of time and social dynamics of time management in IS development project teams and outlines its implications for formal approaches to time management.
