Episode notes
Team Size Depends On Context
- Team size depends on organizational model and lifecycle stage, not a universal number.
- Small teams suit early discovery; larger or federated teams work for scale and specialization.
Evolve Team Composition Over The Lifecycle
- Start projects with small, nimble teams for research and discovery phases.
- Add roles (DevOps, UI, etc.) as the product moves from POC to release and maintenance.
Prioritize Quick Wins To Build Trust
- Prioritize quick, feasible projects early to build trust and show value.
- Use those small wins to expand appetite for larger, riskier initiatives later.
