Resumo:
Community smells are symptoms of organizational and social problems in software teams that
often increase project costs and affect software quality. Recent research has identified several
community smells and defined them as suboptimal patterns related to organizational social
structure in software development teams, such as lack of communication, coordination, and
collaboration. For this reason, this study aims to conduct a systematic mapping from scientific
articles in order to understand how the topic is being treated. In view of this, 24 articles were
selected that address the subject in several existing databases and classification criteria were
elaborated with the objective of answering the questions made and evaluating the results, this
article concluded that studying community smells at the structural and organizational level can
be vital to freeing up software teams to avoid critical organizational failures that may in the
future entail considerable additional costs.
