Abstract: In the software development exercise for the third graders of the Shibaura Institute of Technology Department of Information Science and Engineering, students are assigned to each team with the capability to carry out a role, for optimization of team formation. In the team formation of 2006, each student who expected to play an active part for the success of exercise subject played an active part also in the actual exercise lesson in each team. As a result "all the teams achieved the exercise subject without any halfway dropouts", which Shirakawa, et al. checked. However in the questionnaire results after the end of the exercise, it turned out that the low motivation of some students caused the shortage of communication of the members in the team. Then, the authors built up the hypothesis that "each student's motivation is decided by whether the type of Project Manager (Project Manager is described as PM henceforth) and the PM type each member desire is in agreem!
ent. Each member has a role to play besides PM in the team for software development. The decision of the role assignment of each member demanded a substitute characteristic and an expression of relations with each role to express a role performance by a covariance structure analysis. Based on an expression of relations, decided assigned members according to the PM type and performed role assignment and the team formation of each member. As a result, the team formation of the students without the practice experience confirmed that high team formation of the cooperativeness between team members was realizable by considering a PM type.
