This should help the ordering and provide feedback to the business about the costs / benefits of certain tasks.</p><p>Having said that, I like the idea of the initial matching as a good way to optimise, as long as everyone is strong enough not to bow to peer pressure and has a similar level of background (story) knowledge then it should prove to be a good speed up!</p>RossTue, 20 Jan 2009 04:15:00 -0000
