Distributed software development is a collaborative activity characterized by frequent interactions among the members of the workgroup. However, interruptions that arise when interacting can adversely affect the work of a developer. This work aims at designing a tool to provide support while initiating interactions to indicate the extent to which a colleague can be interrupted, based on a software industry work context. For this, based on the literature of software engineering and the concept of Collaborative Working Spheres, in this study we defined the information elements that must be provided. As a result, an application was derived providing support for initiating interactions in software development working groups, which will be evaluated in different software factories.
