Ask HN: Best way to split single team into two?
How would you recommend splitting a single team of 10 or so developers into two teams? Would you recommend vertical or horizontal splits? Or is 10 too small to split yet? What has been your experience(s) and things to be mindful of? Thanks in advance.
- davelnewton 10y agoThere's no general way to answer that.
- jrs235 10y agoHow were teams that you've been apart of divided up? What worked and didn't work in your setup(s)? Thanks.
- davelnewton 10y agoThey've been divided up in essentially every way possible--but I've been doing this for 30 years. The only time I've had a division not work out fine is when a company was bought out and teams/groups were split with no regard to expertise or experience. Even then, it didn't matter that much, because we still sat in the same places and could just talk to each other.
