Chief programmer team
A chief programmer team is a programming team organized in a star around a "chief" role, granted to the software engineer who understands the system's intentions the best. Other team members get supporting roles, such as the librarian who records the chief's lecturings & team output.[1]
The concept is similar to that of a surgical team in which a surgeon who performs the operation is supported by medical staff such as an anaesthetist and nurses.[1] Frederick Brooks describes the concept in detail in The Mythical Man-Month,[2] as proposed by Harlan Mills[3] in 1971.
