This document discusses strategies for scaling agile teams as they grow in size. It begins by examining the ideal team size, noting recommendations ranging from 3-9 members. The key factor that determines team size is communication, as larger teams require exponentially more communication channels. The document then explores different strategies for splitting or structuring teams as they increase in number, including by component, feature, or hybrid approaches. It warns against both overly small "pods" that can become silos, as well as traditional component-split teams that result in high inter-team dependencies. Overall, the document advocates for cross-functional feature teams and recommends practices like onboarding, architectural guidance, and collaboration across distributed teams.
