Abstract
Motivated by evidence that coordination and dependencies among engineering decisions in a software project are key to better understanding and better methods of software creation, we set out to create empirically testable theory to characterize and make predictions about coordination of engineering decisions. We demonstrate that our theory is capable of expressing some of the main ideas about coordination in software engineering, such as Conway's law and the effects of information hiding in modular design. We then used software project data to create measures and test two hypotheses derived from our theory. Our results provide preliminary support for our formulations.
