Abstract
Crowdsourcing software design (CSD) platforms allow clients to submit a design task to be performed by designers. The participating designers face the problem of a lack of coordination that arises from dependencies between activities when performing tasks. A lack of sufficient coordination mechanisms can lead to task failure and delayed delivery. This research aims to support coordination among participants in CSD by identifying coordination limitations that they face and proposing coordination mechanisms to address the problems that result from dependencies through using the questionnaire. The questionnaire shows that most of the suggested process improvements are significantly sound and strong enough to be added to CSD platforms.
