> greatly improve the development efficiency of your team?

Embrace using open source not reinventing the wheel, hopefully you are already standing on the shoulders of giants

Practise extreme programming. Test driven. Pairing. Trunk based development. Stop using PRs... that's a controversial one - pair instead

Continuously integrate and deploy.

Now optimise that loop. How long does it take a pair to get a commit on mainline. How long does it take for that commit to be live. If the commit had a bug how long does it take to revert and have the fix go live.

Write tests first. TDD. Otherwise all of the above is for nothing and you'll have very quickly developed a big pile of something that doesn't do what you want it to do

Are you saying to pair program instead of using PRs?
