description Sovelluskehitys on kompleksinen tehtävä, ja alalla aloittaminen voi olla kuormittava kokemus. Tässä semi-strukturoidussa haastattelututkimuksessa tunnistetaan teemat, jotka vaikuttavat yhteiseen kognitiiviseen kuormaan uusien juniorijäsenten tullessa ketterään ohjelmistokehitystiimiin. Tulokset esitetään temaattisina verkostoina, ja kognitiiviseen kuormaan vaikuttavia pääteemoja löytyi viisi: "ongelmanratkaisun työnkulku'', "informaation etsiminen'', "ryhmä- ja tiimityöhön liittyvät kuormittavuustekijät'', "kehitystaitojen kehittäminen'' sekä "ohjeet ja työkalut uusille''. Kuudes teema, "kognitiivisen kuorman kuvaajat'' lisättiin omaksi teemakseen, ja siihen on koottu haastateltavien omat kuvaukset siitä, mikä on kuormittavaa. Tulosten perusteella näyttäisi siltä, että yhteinen kognitiivinen kuorma helpotti yksittäisten ihmisten kokemaa kognitiivista kuormaa perehdytysajan loputtua. Huomioitavaa kuitenkin on, että ainakin asiantuntijoiden siiloutuminen sekä hiljainen tieto aiheuttivat vastaajille kognitiivista kuormaa vielä perehdytysajan loputtuakin. Software development is inherently a complex task, and starting in the field can be an overwhelming experience. With this semi-structured interview research study, we identify the themes affecting the collaborative cognitive load of new junior software development team members and present the results as thematic networks. Results revealed five main themes which affected the cognitive load experienced by junior developers. The themes were "problem-solving workflow'', "searching for information'', "group and teamwork related factors'', "honing development skills'' and "tools and instructions for newcomers''. An additional sixth theme was added, describing the perceived cognitive load, "descriptions of cognitive load''. It could be argued that the collaborative cognitive load did help lessen the cognitive load of the whole team after the introduction period for the newcomers, as the newcomers slowly became accustomed to the way of working and started contributing to the shared cognitive resource pool. However, some load factors did not decrease. For example, the expertise silos and silent knowledge were still seen as cognitive load factors, even after the introduction period was over.
