Hypotheses
1.There
will be a core of developers who control the code base and create
>=80% of new functionality. If coordination is ad hoc, this
group will be <=15 people.
2.If
size of project requires a core >15, there will
need to be explicit development processes, code ownership, required inspections
3.A
group larger by an order of magnitude will repair
defects, and a group larger by another order
of magnitude will report bugs
