(This link has several good articles about requirements, metrics, software process improvements and several links.)

Knowledge Point:  It's often better to have a few small, well-focused teams than a single large team.

A Software wizard may not have the temperament or desire to be a team leader. Don't force the wizard to become one.

Jelled teams are the ideal, but they're not easy to achieve. At a minimum, be certain to avoid a "toxic environment".
