Ideal Team or How Big a Team You Need for Your Project

So you have a project - well, at this point it may be just an idea of a wonderful world-saving software - and you're looking for people who will become a part of your IT development team.

Yes, we know we are Capt. Obvious. You will need developers to develop your product. What kind and how many will depend on the complexity of your idea. For small projects, the best and most-widely used solution is two (at least) programmers. This allows for pair programming to be implemented - one of the agile software development techniques when two programmers work as a pair together. One writes the code, the other reviews each line of the code. Then they switch places. This allows to notice and fix the errors right away. Also, if something happens to one of your programmers, you have backup. (We had only one developer at first so the wardrobe assembly took longer than it should've.)
