**Resolution:**

* Provide incentives to teams to invest in modular code. Modular code is far more reusable. This could work well for large teams when working on modularized projects; team members can focus on their smaller assigned tasks.

- Developers could get an opportunity to increase their influence in the organization.

* Select certain "success projects," teams that will develop reusable code and demonstrate the long term success. This can help motivate others (they see what is possible and what is in it for them). Transparency is critical.

29
* Offer education. Modular code is well-understood; there is a lot of literature in favor of this.
