要約(日本語): The success or failure of software development projects depends on various reasons. Among them, in thispaper, we will focus on the human relationship among the project members of both users and venders. They formboth formal and informal social networks. Using the concepts of social network analysis, we have carried out two casestudies on software development projects in business domains: the one is successful and the other is not. We haveused questionaire surveys to depict the characteristics of communication networks among members. We haveanalyzed what factors increase the difficulty and what characteristics the key persons or ‘agents’ show inside theproject teams. The ‘agents’ will negotiate with the other members to lead the projects succsessful. The study resultshave suggested that the existence of ‘agents’ in user and vender sides is critical for effective software development.
