ABSTRACT
The previous chapter introduced many human factors of software development team members generated by the adopted FMEA (failure mode and effect analysis) analytical approach. Here we had the challenge to find out how we can measure these human factors in such a way as to find the connection between the factors and individual performance. After much research we decided to adopt the “Big Five” theory, widely used in the recruitment and personnel selection process, in order to be able to evaluate all these factors and to find the connection with individual performance. Adopting this method for our needs we were able to measure specific personal traits and personal productivity and use this information in the next chapter to discover the dependence between human characteristics and productivity. The next steps in our approach are shown in Figure 5.1.
