Team Quote of the Week . . .

. . . comes from the Fast Company blog.

"If you can't feed a team with two pizzas, the size of the team is too large."
--Jeff Bezos, chairman, CEO, and founder, Amazon.com

(Here is the post, thought this is about it!)

Bezos' formula is about right. Everytime we add a person to a team we ramp up the complexity significantly. Too often teams are large because we "don't want to leave anyone out."

Remember that you can invite or get help from anyone whenever you need them - it doesn't mean they need to be on the team or attend every meeting.

Check your teams against the Bezos Formula.

And buy the pizza this week for all the teams that meet it!
