XP can give some guidelines in this respect - they call it "Collective Ownership" and is a center piece of the whole methodology. Derived from that is; "We made a mistake. WE fix it.", without trying to pinpoint WHO. "We have too many bugs in the XXX code" will come natural to XP teams after a while. I also so a funny anecdote from an XP project in one of the standard books (can't find right now), about "finger pointing" starting, and finally one of them said; "It was MY fault.", although everyone knew he had nothing to do with it. They then hang up a sign "Abc's fault !!" as a reminder. So, IT WAS MY FAULT .... Niclas
