Abstract

Currently, many software development projects worldwide have problems with flaws, delays, and backlogs. This situation may create a highly demotivating work environment for technical workers and managers in general. This study is an attempt to better understand the reasons for these flaws and delays, by proposing the following research question: ‘Which aspects may be contributing to these flaws and delays?'. The proposed hypothesis for this article is: ‘In our IT community, professionals who have an affinity with Project Management generally do not have the essential abilities required to be a leader.' In order to address the research question and hypothesis, this article proposes a mapping /assessment of the IT professionals regarding their potentials and skills. Therefore, this article discusses a proposal for discovering IT workers' profile based on the Multiple Intelligences theory and clustering algorithms. The findings revealed correlations, which may indicate the reasons for such delays and flaws in software development projects.
