The software development process is a very collaborative and knowledge intensive process. Due to its complex nature, software development teams often fail in accomplishing their desired goals of completing development projects under time, money and functionality constraints. Although IS research has spent quite of bit of energy understanding this complex process, we still struggle with achieving software development goals within time, on budget and with promised functionalities. This paper suggests that in order to achieve these goals, software development teams need to cultivate a climate of collective ownership in the team. Specifically, this paper investigates the factors that promote a sense of collective ownership which, in turn, would help achieve performance goals such as on-time completion, on-budget completion and software functionality.
