abstract
In this article, a study about high-performance teams for the development of new products is carried out, emphasizing the maturity of systems teams in the automotive software area, since in this sector it is mandatory to be at the forefront of efficiency and technological innovation to stay competitive. An introduction to the subject is first made, followed by an analysis of the literature on traditional software development methodologies compared to agile methodologies, which the latter’s implementation can provide competitive advantages when seeking a more flexible incremental product development, eliminating redundancies and collaborators’ time’s waste. Then high-performance teams are analyzed, their importance, definition, objectives, as well as the leadership involved in this type of team. Previous topics will be used as a basis to propose a model of key factors' interrelation to determine the maturity of the teams, also through the application of a proposed instrument the model interpretation will be possible by using different methods such as: Sentiment analysis and Net promoter score, which provide information on team’s trends and their dynamics' internal variables.
