  • Agile Team composition

    by B Sudhakar,

    Hi, What kind of team composition(experience level) do you recommend so that I as a Project Manager could empower the team. Could I do Agile using a team of college grads? Could I empower a team comprising of 80% college grads, where in such scenarios in my humble opinion command-and-control would work best?
