Our definition of a mature team is a UX group that, combined, has more 
experience, knowledge, and skills than the average team we've studied. We 
look at the individuals experience, knowledge, and skills, along with the 
teams practices and procedures.

We're currently refining our measures to be more precise. It's early in the 
research and we're still "feeling our way around" the data.

So, you wanna take what our research is currently suggesting with a grain 
of salt (or other appropriate seasoning).

Seasoning's Greetings.
