| Summary: |
"The single greatest determinant of success for a software project, is the context of human relationships it is created in, i.e.: Collaboration is the cocoon of success." Although tooling and technology can assist team and project collaboration, the biggest critical success factor is people. June's topic will address how "people issues" can make or break an effort. Adding more resources to an effort does not guarantee success. Success is in communications, trust and the ability to effectively work together. Thomas will address the key factors that hinder and help teams collaborate well and explore the gains that can be had when a team collaborates well together.
