How to design a team that would produce software of good quality — team size
Blog post from Qase
Smaller team sizes are linked to higher quality and better performance in terms of schedule and cost/effort, with studies indicating that teams of 3 or fewer members often achieve optimal outcomes. This is due to minimized communication paths, limited productivity gains from parallelized work, and increasing management complexity with larger teams. Amdahl's law explains that there is a cap on speed improvements from parallel work due to necessary synchronization, which can decrease delivery time. The Kanban method's Work In Progress (WIP) limits align with this concept, suggesting that restricting parallel tasks to 6-7 items can enhance delivery speed. By combining Kanban's principles with Amdahl's law, it's suggested that teams should focus on reducing parallel work and maximizing task execution speed to deliver value efficiently.
