Balance Growth with Efficiency
Achieving product development efficiency requires balancing team size and research output, avoiding the common pitfall of merely increasing headcount without proportional gains in productivity. Drawing parallels to personal growth phases, the aim is to maintain a compact, agile team while leveraging cloud technology to enhance effectiveness.
