One app, multiple teams – advantages and challenges of scaling up
The journey from a team of 4 to several cross-functional teams working on one app.
What advantages may the company get from such a setup? At the same time, what kind of challenges are waiting for all and individual team members. How to sustain the user experience within any part of the app, designed and developed by separate teams? How to not cannibalised the great idea only because the KPIs of each team do not match? And in the end, is our release train well scheduled?
Those challenges are only a few from the long list that the company has to get to grips with.
During the talk, I’ll do my best to respond to some of them from the perspective of being the first Product Owner of “Team of 4”.
