Working alone is better than working as a team.

  The communication overhead for a team of x developers is on the order of x!. Or something like that. edit: (x-1)! edit 2: of course there are other factors, that's just one piece of it.

  Strange conclusion: teamwork doesn't work because your team doesn't work? Did you even consider the second option: your team sucks. Sorry to state that in such a plain way, but I've seen many teams doing great work. Matter of organisation and responsibility.

  I disagree with the statement. However, you need a good team to work well as a team, and when you're at the stage of trying to pinpoint faults, the team already failed. That doesn't mean that all teams suck, though. The one I work with certainly doesn't, and I'm more productive as part of this team than I ever was alone.

    I am trying to pin faults on anybody. I am trying to introspect why the team is not working. I have been part of many teams both successful ones and ones like this. I feel I have learnt more, finished projects faster, felt more content with the quality of output, and acknowledged for going the extra mile on projects that I have worked alone and then in a team environment. In the team environment, the quality of output is always compromised. I always end up feeling I could have done more to fix the project. And I am dissatisfied and pretty pissed at lack of accountability and aloofness of the team. I am sorry if I have offended anyone but this is how I feel every working hour I work in a team.

      That only means that even if you were in successful teams, they weren't good teams.
