Model: Ideal Team Size
What is the ideal team size? Agile answer is 7+-2
inner circle | 3-5 | very close friends or family members |
sympathy group | 7-10 | close friends who care about each other's fate |
hunting group | 30-50 | collegues who care about each other's fate
-how much it takes to achieve a goal |
clan | 100-150 | people who maintain stable inter-personal relationships
-everybody knows eachother
-peer pressure works |
tribe | 500-2500 | people who speak the same language or dialect |
go modular
remove dependencies - also in codebase
That's how many it takes to bring a project like this to the market.
how Pixar managed to have great teamwork in big team ~200
When you get bigger than 7+-2
you still wanna have one team
maybe multiple sub-teams
but only 1 team goal
nobody succeeds unless that one succeeds
