ah, but will your mediocre team become a great engineering team by focusing on milestone, instead of projects? Nope, they won't.

No, but we'll all become incrementally better by understanding the difference between necessary (what the article said) and sufficient (what you said it said).

[rk06]

The thing is correlation does not imply causation.

The article says great teams does X. And implies that you should do X as well.

But is doing X the necessary and sufficient requirements to become a great engineering team? In this case, no, it is not

[vanusa]

The article clearly didn't claim it was "sufficient". So I'm not sure what you're driving at, here.
