  • Not most of the time
    
    
    • Most development efforts are small teams
      
      
    • Look at the projects on sourceforge
      • Most are single person
      • Some are 2-6 people
      • Very few are more than 20 people
    
    
  • Except for large projects there is no problem
    
    
    • Large projects bog down
