I work in a small (7 developer) development team and we all work on our own projects.  Some of the barriers to team work are the languages and platforms we work on (.NET vs mainframe RPG programming) but other barriers are just that we're all so busy we haven't taken the time to take a step back and organize teams.  Me and two other .NET developers are taking initiative to starting a small team but we're all a little stuck on what to do.  We're starting with sharing knowledge on the products we work on so we can back each other up but we eventually want to tackle projects as a team instead of individually.  What advice would you give a group of guys like us trying to start up team work?
How to start team programming
.net;teamwork
I can think of a few things to start with. This might not be an ideal list since this is something I see established teams wrestle with sometimes.Firstly, if you don't have it, I'd get some necessary infrastructure in place. Things like source control, maybe a build server, and documentation couldn't hurt.Secondly I'd try either code reviews to get people up to speed or some pair programming. Also, asking someone to come over and take a look at a problem could be a good start. They might not know your project or even the language, but it helps to have a sounding board and pretty soon they'll start picking things up.
