    This is more or less "What is software engineering?". Except for the thing about personnel changes; Peopleware discusses improving the work environment at length, so that you don't get so many personnel changes. Commented Dec 14, 2016 at 15:02

    To my experience, "multi site teams with different values" is the death of good code in a complex system - especially when the teams have different opinions about quality. Maintainable code in a larger code base can be most easily achieved within a small, ideally stable team where the seniors see the value in a maintainable code base. Commented Dec 14, 2016 at 17:26
