Building a successful development team is often not as easy as it seems. Software development teams should be self-organizing and cross-functional. At the same time, team members must make a collaborative effort when it comes to communicating and implementing shared responsibilities.
To achieve this synergy of team structure and empowerment, development teams must have the following characteristics in mind:
- The team should be naturally self-organizing where productivity depends on collective contributions.
- Teams should be well-equipped and cross-functional; they possess all the team skills necessary to advance the product across all development stages.
- Accountability belongs to the software development team as a whole.
Successful development teams have team members who:
- Leave the codebase cleaner than how they found it.
- Rather than directly criticizing people, they criticize their ideas.
- Share past and present experiences to offer new team insights.
- Have fun with each other and trust each other.
