Why Small Teams Win And Bigger Ones Fail

How many people do you need to design a great product?

I am 74 years old and have long agreed with the general point of your posting. I am now retired, but I have often seen big teams fail and little ones often perform better. I am now retired. While I have had many jobs, I have worked more in education than anything else, from preschool through ten years on the faculty of the University of Oregon, USA. As much as possible in my teaching I tried to divide my classes into small groups for many reasons.

First of all I will embarrass myself by asking what country and language you come from. I am an ignorant USA’n and only speak the bastard language of English.

I read all the comments so far and almost all are excellent and add depth and insight to your posting.

There may be too many comments, perhaps causing the Ringelmann effect to explode or implode (hope I spelled it correctly).

Originally (according to theories I find persuasive) Homo sapiens lived in tribes of about 150 people. Look up https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunbar%27s_number

This may be a support for your insight that you may not know. No offense meant if you do.

I like to escalate (as I am old and drifting into senility).

There are 7.6 billion humans on this planet. This may be a quantity that may cause our species to destroy ourselves by the end of the 21st Century.
