Team is like a small start up - the biggest challenge is that the business doesn't always know what they want and or how to articulate it. The developers will need to be patient and talk through this with the business. They need individuals who don't only answer the question be definition, but those that can explain how they do something step by step.


FOR EXAMPLE: 2 Poll vs List in Python - can they explain when they would use each and why?
