People

The first level is people.   One of the most important parts of a engineering environment is to have the right people. If a project start with the wrong people, then nothing else really matters.

Given a small project with a small number of really good people, very little else is required. Good people will make things happen despite unforeseen difficulties. Unfortunately, having the right people does not scale for larger projects. As the projects grow in people size, communication and coordination between people becomes the gating item.
