"Plug-and-play" development

Modern technologies allow to change the way of organizing of  members for group work.

Remote work or in a place?

Presence of a person definitely may give certain great benefits - such as "hypnosis" (means  influence on person motivation - which i believe plays huge role in process, taking into account that people - are social creatures).

Ability of video conference - give some of "hypnosis" tools, though personal contact and real environment still may significantly outweigh.

But another hypothetical benefit of remoteness not used in full power at current market -
in theory, it gives ability to attach to project as many people as needed at a time.
It could give ability to connect 500 guys during two days and finish 1-year project in 48 hours.

In addition, such methodology would open doors for active minds, and filter out damped minds (which could stay at position for many months when rigid attachment is used).

It's possible, that the player on a HR market who will find a correct way how to "plug-and-play" members to a projects will go forward in efficiency far ahead of others.
