Re: Any rules about mentoring two teams?
Speaking as someone who mentored two teams last year (and I mentored both teams "full time"), I wouldn't recommend doing it. It takes a lot of time and a lot of work. I ended up lucky in the fact that only one of the teams had a large crunch time before the ship date (oddly enough, it was the non-rookie team that did). It also helped me personally that I had two different roles on the different teams (on the rookie team, more general engineering; on the non-rookie team, programming).

All in all, it's not something I'm likely to do again.

Matt
