Abstract
During the recent years, it has become clear that in the foreseeable future, software development takes place in various setups, including co-located, remote, and hybrid teams. While these different setups have been extensively studied, there is a gap in research with respect to how the actual software design process is affected by the development setup. In this paper, we propose studying the effect of co-located, remote, and hybrid setups on the software design process and associated interactions, their focus and implications to the resulting software. The paper builds on indicative evidence gained with students, and presents a research agenda to study how the team setup affects the design process.
