a common misconception is you can cheap out on development talent, throw more bodies at it and just `get it done`. nothing could be further from the truth.
without the talent you will fail to execute and you will be on the phone with the client explaining why things have gone south. development is the one department where industry thinking about the appropriate cost to profit ratio needs to be adjusted. a high premium must be placed on individual talent, and an even greater premium placed on a team of talent that can work together as a cohesive unit. create yourself a development death squad, so to speak, capable of unimaginable success and triumph.
pick your talent, pay them well and then push them.
think about it- what is the difference between an individual motived to work at 90% capacity and one that works at 120%. it's a human dynamic thing. talk to your people. know your people. hear what they have to say. respect can be a simple thing. unfortunately there is nothing common about common sense.
this is a game of individuals, not resources. know your people, people.
