Question: Describe the importance of selecting team members with a mix of personality types for software development.

Choosing or building the right team is vital for the success of any project.

A project needs a variety of skills and qualities that are not present in any individual. However, as a workaround, a team should be built of people with a variety of skill sets to fulfill the project need.

The main advantage of choosing team members with a mix of personality types is that it provides a wider range of views towards a project or any specific action item in the project, e.g. requirements, design, development, testing or even implementation. Different views allow for a broader angle to a problem and solution minimizing the risk of missing requirements or misunderstanding them.

Some of the personality traits that are essential to any project are:

• Aggressive go getter, contrary, a calm patient and more laid back personality
• Risk taker, contrary, a cautious personality
• Strategic, contrary, analytical personality
• Lateral thinking

Different situations in a project are handled better by different personality types and hence a perfect blend/mix of personality types is essential for the project to complete successfully.
