Abstract
An approach is provided for rearranging assignments of workers to teams in an agile environment. Project requirements are collected and skills of workers are determined. Based on the project requirements and the skills, an initial arrangement of assignments of the workers to the teams is generated. During project execution, data from sensors worker locations and content of communications among the workers are obtained. The data from the sensors identifies workers who are sitting on chairs. Based on the data from the sensors, worker locations, and the content of the communications, a weighted graph is generated that represents the workers, strengths of relationships among the workers, and strengths of relationships between the workers and the teams. Based on the weighted graph, an optimal rearrangement of the assignments of the workers to the teams is automatically and dynamically generated. The optimal rearrangement specifies a match between the skills and the project requirements.
