As Dan points out: the first problem is *not* the lack of technical experience of the colleagues (like knowing design patterns for example, he says most of the guys were skilled enough) but the whole approach, culture, mentality.
That's much deeper than just managers' BS - it's about the real -pragmatic, agile- nature of the software development (rather than the rigid separation of developers/bosses, silos in the Waterfall model).
Maybe more details on techniques wouldn't hurt, but that would have made this much longer - yet, what's said there was a necessary minimum. There just too many of those techniques, and those can be better covered in books like "Design Patterns", Refactoring, TDD, "Working Effectively with legacy code",etc..
