Artifact: Process Right-Sizing by Team Size
Aurora spike team vs main delivery team -- process right-sizing -- exercises co-15.
| Team | Size | Communication paths (n(n-1)/2) | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spike team | 2 | 1 | Drop the formal daily standup and the separate retro ceremony. With exactly one communication path, the two engineers already talk continuously at their two desks -- a 10-minute end-of-week check-in replaces the retro. |
| Main delivery team | 8 | 28 | Keep the full package: daily standup, biweekly planning, biweekly retro. Twenty-eight communication paths genuinely need synchronization ceremony to prevent silent divergence. |
