20. Why large teams? Most software systems are extremely complex Often: over 100,000,000 lines of code Thousands of person-years! Must have a solid design, architecture and plan before programming starts

21. Skills needed Solid math skills More importantly: creative problem-solving Requirements: what does the customer need? Design: satisfying the need Development: infinite ways to implement any design – want one that is clear, maintainable Testing: finding errors Other great things Flexible – many telecommute; set hours (within limits) New technologies, languages Learn lots about different areas
