      ab: The article discusses the challenges faced by project managers when attempting to select the appropriate size of a software development team, examining the relationship between costs and the quality of the output of software development teams. Large teams lead to a better distribution of skills but also have higher communication, coordination, and salary costs, the article states, while smaller teams have smaller salary costs but also develop programming biases leading to costly software maintenance issues.
