2) People's characteristics, which vary from person to person and even from moment to moment, form a first-order driver of the team's behavior and results. Such issues as how well they get along with each other and the fit (or misfit) of their personal characteristics with their job roles create significant, project-specific constraints on the methodology. This result indicates that people's personal characteristics place a limit on the effect of methodologies in general. 3) Every project needs a slightly different methodology, based on those people characteristics, the project's specific priorities, and the technologies being used. This result indicates that a team's methodology should be personalized to the team during the project and may even change during the project. 4) A set of principles were found that can be used to shape an effective methodology to the above constraints. These principles deal with the amount of coordination and verification required in the project, the trade-off between rework and serialization of work, and the trade-off between tacit and externalized knowledge in use by the team. 5) A technique was found to create a situationally specific methodology during the project and in time to serve the project, and to evolve it as the project progresses. 6) All the above suggests a repeating cycle of behavior to use on projects. 1) The members establish conventions for their interactions — a base methodology — at the start of the project. This can be likened to them "programming" themselves. 2) They then perform their jobs in the normal scurry of project life, often getting too caught up to reflect on how they are doing. 3) They schedule regular periods of reflection in which they reconsider and adjust their working conventions. These results have been used successfully on several industrial projects having the usual time and cost pressures on the staff. Table of Contents: 1.
