Your developers tell you: “My job is done!”, but nothing works. Or every component works great and passes all the tests, but they don’t integrate with each together at all. Does this sound familiar to you? Have you ever heard your teams say that they are waiting on other people? Have they ever failed to deliver because of this? We would like to talk about how we used to have feature teams that were unable to deliver features. After realizing that having feature teams alone was not enough we started forming feature squads. And this helped improve communication and productivity a lot, they actually started to deliver valuable features! In our presentation we will show you when having feature teams is not enough anymore. We will show you how we improved the concept of feature teams by introducing feature squads, and what results we achieved by doing this. We will also explain what feature squads are, how we created them and what problems we experienced while doing this. Join us to learn from our failures but also our successes! Learn how you may increase the throughput of your team and achieve more with the same people.
