To explore this, we have studied several team dynamics factors that influence the Knowledge Management Processes (KMP) in Very Small Entities (VSEs) 1. A survey was conducted in a variety of VSEs and through statistical and qualitative content analysis for the research data, results indicate that small teams, informal team process and structure have an important influence on the level of team dynamics in the software development process. © 2011 Springer-Verlag. %Z cited By 13; Conference of International Conference on Informatics Engineering and Information Science, ICIEIS 2011 ; Conference Date: 14 November 2011 Through 16 November 2011; Conference Code:87535
