一句话：研究敏捷顶点课程中团队雄心水平与团队合作质量、成员成功及团队绩效的关系，并评估2024年课程调整的影响。
本文关注软件工程敏捷顶点课程中的团队协作，探讨团队雄心水平如何影响团队合作质量（TWQ）、成员成功与团队绩效。研究覆盖2022–2024三年、133个学生团队、790名学生，收集1,122份前后测问卷；三年均按雄心水平分组，2024年因ChatGPT等AI工具普及而调整课程，降低书面项目报告比重。结果显示，2022和2023年雄心水平与TWQ、成员成功和绩效正相关，高雄心团队通常协作与成果更好；但2024年低、高雄心团队差距缩小，所有团队成功更均衡。研究指出，结构化干预、优先协作与包容性比单纯按雄心组队影响更大，建议弱化按雄心分组，转而培养高质量团队合作过程，以更好对接真实敏捷环境。
Teamwork quality (TWQ), team members' success, and team performance are critical components of effective collaboration in modern software development. As capstone courses in software engineering aim to prepare students for industry practices, understanding the factors that influence team dynamics is essential. This study investigates the relationship between team ambition levels and TWQ, team members' success, and team performance in an agile capstone course. Our study involves 133 student teams comprising 790 students across three consecutive years (2022–2024). Data collection included 1,122 responses from pre- and post-surveys. In all three years, students were grouped into teams based on ambition levels. In 2024, the course structure was changed to place less emphasis on written project reports due to the widespread adoption of AI tools like ChatGPT. The results show that ambition levels were positively correlated with TWQ, team members' success, and team performance in 2022 and 2023, with higher ambition levels generally associated with improved collaboration and outcomes. However, in 2024, there were reduced disparities between lower and higher-ambition teams, enabling more equitable success across all teams. This study highlights that while ambition levels play a role in influencing teamwork and success, structured interventions that prioritize collaboration and inclusivity have a more substantial impact. These findings suggest that moving away from ambition-based team formation and focusing on fostering high-quality teamwork processes can better prepare students for real-world agile environments.
