I definitely agree with the path you are going down. I have started to affectionately call things Human Driven Development.. In part to mock the TDD/BDD movements that put emphasis on technology and part because interaction between humans is important in software development. Im to the point where when I see technology used to "manage" software I just cringe. Because it's about the humans, not the machines. :) Diana,

My model focuses on the communication and interactions among team members. I also see Trust as a foundation, however even when we start from a base of enough trust to begin work, every further interaction either reinforces or undermines the trust we've built. Communication and interactions that demonstrate trust lead team members to find the will to commit to the best interests of the project work and to the mutual well-being of team members. When team members experience each other's Commitment to their common purpose, disagreements and Conflict lead to a greater willingness to offer interpersonal feedback and to focusing on systemic problems rather than personalities and, consequently, better, faster solutions. As the team builds its capacity for navigating conflict through healthy interactions, it also gains in capacity for Creativity and Innovation. And that's the path to synergy and High Performance. I should probably write a post on my own blog about this. ;) Thanks! Years ago I developed a model that has similarities and differences to Leoncioni’s.
