Speaking from first hand experience, it is possible to build efficiently without detailed specifications. The key is to put boundaries between different parts of the application and allow each developer to take full responsibility for delivering their part.
I've had some horrific experiences where multiple developers worked on the same features (without specs) while stepping on each others toes.
- thanatropism 8y agoHa. This depends on developers being able to stand each other during the MVP slog. I've seen launches derailed because nerd #3 didn't like to be told how to do something by nerd #5. Technical talent is a the-odds-are-good-but-the-goods-are-odd kind of deal - at least outside Silly Valley in the developing world. You can hire a huge sum-total-IQ but you can't hire people who can work independently and collaborate.
