There is a critical gap in understanding how meso-scale team processes - interactions between individuals in a team - develop in design teams and specifically how they dynamically balance design with managerial effort. We treat this deficit by contrasting two in-depth cases using work sampling data. We identify a number of contributions. First, we describe how design team processes display both goal/action and temporal heterogeneity. Second, we demonstrate how this heterogeneity is underpinned by common principles that consistently shape team processes in design. Specifically: proportional goal/action composition and recurring process patterns over time. Finally, we describe how these principles can be integrated via ‘archetypal process types’. Together, these substantially extend prior theory and point to specific implications for future design research.

在了解中规模团队流程（团队中个体之间的互动）在设计团队中发展以及具体如何动态平衡设计与管理工作之间存在重大差距。我们通过使用工作抽样数据对两个深度案例进行对比来处理这一缺陷。我们确定了一些贡献。首先，我们描述设计团队流程如何显示目标/动作和时间异质性。其次，我们演示了如何通过一贯塑造设计团队流程的通用原则来支持这种异质性。具体来说：随着时间的流逝，比例目标/行动组成和重复的过程模式。最后，我们描述了如何通过“原型过程类型”整合这些原理。一起，
