Peter-Paul Koch has a new Digital Web article about web teams (it is part 1 of 2). As a member of a small but growing web team, I read this with interest. Koch argues that a good web team should be made up of no more than seven people, split across three sub-teams: client-side specialists, server-side specialists, and supporting specialists (like project managers and system administrators). The two most important points are that teams should avoid insularity (or over-specialization to the point of ignoring other team members) and that the team members should communicate. Good advice, and it applies to pretty much any team out there.
