1. Versatile
There is a word in the industry is "3~5 individual team do not good products, 50 people more impossible to do", why? Because the development process, there is a lot of time is wasted in communication, whether through word of mouth or documents, passing the number of times, the greater the likelihood of deviating from its intention.
When planning to have an idea, want to convey it to the client engineer, there will always be a lot of information impairment problems, especially the need to repeatedly debug the operation feel or performance details of the problem, this kind of thing who can not through the text to convey very well, let alone understand these words, But if the plan knows how to use simple animation techniques to demonstrate what it wants, the client-side engineer immediately learns.
Imagine if the team had a plan to write LUA scripts, there would be animated plans, and UI planners, and UI designers who would interact with the planning discussion, and the animators who would draw the original picture ... is the whole development process smooth a lot? Everyone can play on the bench, stay in the dream team, even if you take the industry standard 80% of the pay will not want to leave easily.
Another common scenario is when two or more planning discussion system scenarios each has the idea, who can not convince everyone, the best way is to quickly out a low-fi real demo, we have seen (tried) again to judge, or to optimize; but the real thing to do a A/b sample test, and then in the same user portal to import users, Test a few days, analyze the data, but this cost is too high, as far as I know no team to do this; using the minimum real prototype to verify the game, it must be the optimal solution of the iterative product, the question is, what to do? VB, Java, Flash, PPT, Rpgmarker ... Which one to use, the premise is that someone in the team understand these software, and preferably the proposal to plan himself.
* Supplementary Note: Of course, if a planned idea, the target is not clear, small white players do not know how to play (not in line with expectations), the core players can not quickly see the optimal solution is what (do not see the benefit-oriented), active players cannot find a sense of existence (not required), pay players do not show the advantages (not be compared), The top player can't find something to show off (no attention) ... The proposal was shot directly and the discussion was a waste of time.
2. Industry experienced classmate \ Friend \ Old colleague
Recruiting is a very difficult thing for small and entrepreneurial teams.
No competitive pay and benefits, no reputable products and teams. This time, in addition to the option to attract talent, is your start-up team members of each person's personal relationships, the best thing is, the start-up team everyone is a first-class talent, and are willing to invite better than their own people to join, no site awareness. Because people who can attract top talent are usually first-rate, and second-rate people only attract 345 of talents.
3. People with strong self-driving force
One of the characteristics of a small team to respond quickly, flexible, everyone needs to fight bravely on the front line, everyone is versatile, no bureaucratic hierarchy, flat management, everyone needs to have the ability to explore product deficiencies, adhere to experience their products, and constantly improve their products. Adhere to do "can play" products, the number of modules should be less, but the workload can not be less, must call the entire team members focus on the limited functional modules, continuous experience, continuous improvement. Some people say, "only focus, to achieve the ultimate", I think, focus on the origin of the self-drive-focus on product development must first have extraordinary enthusiasm and sense of mission, this is the self drive.
4. People who match the temperament of a start-up team
What is enterprise culture, team atmosphere, product temperament? In fact, these things in the final analysis is the founder temperament extension, what kind of founder will find out what kind of start-up team, and the temperament of the team will gradually infect those who join in the process, there will inevitably be some people who do not match the team temperament to join, but they will eventually be eliminated, or their own can not stand to leave. Although it is not irreplaceable for anyone to stand in the capitalist market, there is a great deal of time and opportunity cost to replace people, so that they can be exempted from the start by recruiting only those partners who match the team temperament.
