Yes totally agree with old & boring. Be very cautious if your developers keep suggesting new technology choices, which depending on your field is probably anything that has came out in the past 5-10 years. Also, small teams are WAY more effective than larger teams. Software dev does not scale well at all with people in my experience. If you're constantly adding people to try and increase velocity if you've got it the wrong way round. Obviously exceptions to this; but a good, well managed small team of 5 people can often out deliver teams many times that size.
