## Description

Is it possible to quantify collaboration? How does a single issue, pull request, or code commit contribute to establishing an effective developer network? In this talk, we will analyze millions of artifacts from multi-year open source projects, explore collaborative patterns, and connect them with recent research in organizational behavior and professional networks. The session applies results from organizational behaviors to software engineering teams, provides a framework, proposes an evidence-based perspective on measuring collaboration and practical steps to improve it.
