Beyond words and actions: Exploring Multimodal Analytics and Collaboration in the Digital Age
<|reference_start|>Beyond words and actions: Exploring Multimodal Analytics and Collaboration in the Digital Age: This article explores Multimodal Analytics' use in assessing communication within agile software development, particularly through planning poker, to understand collaborative behavior. Multimodal Analytics examines verbal, paraverbal, and non-verbal communication, crucial for effective collaboration in software engineering, which demands efficient communication, cooperation, and coordination. The study focuses on how planning poker influences speaking time and attention among team members by utilizing advanced audiovisual data analysis technologies. Results indicate that while planning poker doesn't significantly change total speaking or attention time, it leads to a more equitable speaking time distribution, highlighting its benefit in enhancing equitable team participation. These findings emphasize planning poker's role in improving software team collaboration and suggest multimodal analytics' potential to explore new aspects of team communication. This research contributes to better understanding coordination techniques' impact in software development and team education, proposing future investigations into optimizing team collaboration and performance through alternative coordination techniques and multimodal analysis across different collaborative settings.<|reference_end|>
