• The size and complexity is typically higher
  • Larger codebase to maintain
  • More components and objects, higher chance of name collision
  • Easier to duplicate code and effort
• The team size is typically higher
  • More opportunity to step on toes
  • Need for highlyparallel development
  • Mixed skills require better fail safes (base classes, behaviors)

...so this is what we've learned.
