Patterns of Effective Teams


Productive is a red herring.
Productive ⇒ The ability to make lots of a thing.
A more productive system produces more stuff.
The goal of software development is not to produce stuff, the goal of software development is to impact a business positively.
Effective teams solve difficult business problems with tiny pieces of software.
If you can solve a difficult business problem with no software, you win at software.

How many people in your team that need to get run over by a truck before you can get any work done.
