A methodology definition is a formula. That formula may or may not a particular team. A team is a particular configuration of specific instances: a person with a strong personality, one with a weak, stiff chairs, poor lighting (or glare), a set of stairs - or not. Each of these affect the behavior of the people. When the person with the strong personality leaves, or another joins, everyone's behavior changes. Ditto with the elevator, floors, lighting etc. This is "like" an ecosystem, with predator plants, symbionts, cliffs, weather systems, etc. Alistair
