Properly selecting the members of a project team are just as important as any other step in the process, if not more important. A great product or device idea with perfect documentation and resources will never make it past production if the team working on the project is not a good fit. Not only does every member from management to employee need to have a full working understanding of the project and goals, but the team should be a cohesive unit. Communication and teamwork are so important and essential in product development, that it must be emphasized when selecting team members. In my opinion, I think a team of people with no prior working knowledge of the device or product being developed would, in the end, outperform a team of knowledgeable employees without the ability to communicate.
