@mhoye I think detailed examples of several wildly different work groups would be informative. This small team is all senior level and above, they have very lightly written specs, no PM, write all their own tests, bitch a lot but are really fine, etc. This large team has UX including both functional and UI specs, dedicated QA, intricate PM process etc. This gang of adorable cutting edge loons is building a game from their various polycules spread across several time zones.
