It is likely to be an unpopular opinion with some of the less trained in our industry but I believe that the overhead in utilising an experienced team1 far outweighs the expense of allowing an inexperienced2 team making suitable for release then maintaining and supporting a system where the application of tools was not properly evaluated and not properly implemented.
Also decisions based on CV Engineering are generally poor ones. It is certainly an unprofessional practice.
1 The team needs to be experienced overall but can include inexperienced team members that can learn through working with knowledgable colleagues.
2 Definition of inexperienced in this context is a team with little or no prior experience applying the tools and methodologies chosen in a similar system to the one being developed.
