Exactly. These types of social attributes are necessary for a software project to succeed. The problem, of course, is that you can't devise a system which will reliably organize an arbitrary group of people* into the kind of effective team you describe.
* As an example of an "arbitrary group of people," consider the set of contracted engineers, contracted managers, government employees, and insurance company personnel that had to work together on healthcare.gov. These are people who were not previously on a team together, and who cannot be expected to be of a uniformly high quality.

Doesn't an organization like NASA work somewhat the same way? Different teams tackling different parts of a project and ending up with a rover on Mars?
