Studying the effectiveness of scenario development meetings in the
software architecture process is important to improve meeting effectiveness.
This paper reports initial findings from analyzing the
data collected in a controlled experiment aimed at studying the
effectiveness of meetings in terms of gained and lost scenarios of
individuals, real and nominal (non-communicating) teams. Our
findings question the effectiveness of holding meetings since more
important scenarios were lost than gained in these meetings. In the
study nominal teams performed better than individuals and real
teams.
