Excerpt from The Influence of Group Longevity on Project Communication and Project Performance

This study investigates the communication behaviors and performances of 50 R&D project groups at different stages of group longevity, as measured by the average length of time project members have worked together.

Such reductions in project communication are also shown to affect adversely the technical performance and innovativeness of project groups. Furthermore, variations in communication activity were more associated with the tenure composition of project teams than with the project tenures of individual engineers. These findings are presented and discussed in the more general terms of what happens in project groups as team membership "ages."
