Managing Software Projects in Spatial Hypertext: Experiences in Dogfooding
نویسنده
چکیده
Managing long-term, research-oriented software projects requires more flexibility and open-endedness than most production-oriented software processes provide. We have been exploring the use of spatial hypertext to manage such projects. Spatial hypertext allows users to place information objects in visual spaces and use visual cues and spatial relations to represent inter-object relations. Over time, users develop a visual language to express characteristics of their task. The Visual Knowledge Builder (VKB), our particular spatial hypertext system, uses heuristics to recognize structure in user-generated layouts and includes navigable history for returning to earlier states of the spatial hypertext. This paper reflects on our experiences in dogfooding – using our own research prototype – for two projects for more than two and a half years and what these experiences might mean for using spatial hypertext in other software development contexts.
