I'd say that if anything could be formalized as a set of skills or as a process that could be applied to multiple projects, it would be extreme discipline around what gets built. For example, we were fairly militant about cutting features and keeping things as simple as possible, which is always easier said than done.

Also, this rewrite wouldn't be possible without each team member's personal productivity which was also aided by pairing. Curiously, we worked fairly regular days (although some nights and weekends, but those were by personal choice).
