1.) COOPERATION
cross functional team is still a silo
team does not cooperate across teams, so silo, just multi functional silo
autonomy being so important, that
- Book: Six simple Rules - Yves Morieux and Peter Tollman how do businesses work when large the entire problem of large companies is the balance between autonomy and cooperation
Model: Ideal Team Size - 7+-2 for agile teams
What is the ideal team size? Agile answer is 7+-2
Robin Dunbar
| 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.
- Book: Creativity Inc - Ed Catmull 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
A) Shared Responsibility
Everybody succeeds or fails together
B) Model: Situational Awareness (aka jidoka)
- Book: This Is Lean - Niklas Modig everybody on the team maintains situational awareness
What makes scaling work? “Shared goals with situational awareness across the teams that share the goal”
2.) COMPLEXITY
