That is absolutely true. Just one thing: Make sure to have the right mix:

  • Having only Juniors will fail because of lack of experience of troublesome situations and because they will most likely build something unnecessarily complex.
  • Having only seniors will most probably lead to a lot of personal issues because each of them has a very fixed opinion about how to do it right. The storming phase will be long and norming hard.

So, I’d like to have one or two seniors and a mix of juniors and intermediates.
