  7. Abstract:
  8. Today, knowledge is the most important resource in software development. The success of software development relies on the exchange of knowledge between software developers working in different agile teams. The purpose of this research is to determine the size of agile teams according to knowledge sharing factors. Knowledge sharing factors between work teams have been extracted by searching articles; Then, all these factors, which are classified into five main categories: individual, organizational, technological, cultural, and geographical, were investigated and separated according to the working conditions in Iran, and finally, the important factors were identified by the evaluation of experts active in this field. In order to achieve the appropriate size of the agile team according to these factors, a questionnaire has been prepared and distributed in the Porsal system. According to the number of people in each team, the investigated teams have been classified into three categories: small (2 to 5 people), medium (6 to 9 people) and large (10 to 14 people).The data obtained from this questionnaire has been analyzed using two decision-making methods, AHP and COCOSO. The results obtained from these two methods have been compared with each other and finally, the main result of this research according to the considered factors showed that cooperation in large teams makes it easier to share knowledge between individuals or teams. It should also be mentioned that the results of this work can be used in the entire scope of the increasing agility space in Iranian companies.
