Women have been shown to be effective leaders in many team-based situations.However, it is also well-recognized that women are underrepresented inengineering and technology areas, which leads to wasted efforts and a lack ofdiversity in professional organizations. Although studies about gender andleadership are rich, research focusing on engineering-specific activities, arescarce. To react on this gap, we explored the experience of female leaders ofsoftware development projects and possible context factors that influenceleadership effectiveness. The study was conducted as a longitudinal multiplecase study. Data was collected from survey, interviews, observation and projectreports. In this work, we reported some preliminary findings related toleadership style, team perception on leadership and team-task context factors.We found a strong correlation between perceived team leadership and taskmanagement. We also observed a potential association between human-orientedleading approach in low customer involvement scenarios and task-orientedleading approach in high customer involvement situations.
