There's definitely cases where removing a person from a project speeds it up. Just to name a few:
* the person removed is a distraction to the team in some way, possibly outside of their control
* the team is over the two-pizza limit, and coordination costs are out of control
* roles between individuals aren't clear, and removing one of them makes it obvious, removing a source of confusion
[edit: added some examples]
- sobani 8y ago> the two-pizza limit OT, but can someone please explain this to me? From what I understand this is a team size that you can still feed with two pizzas. But how is this different from just saying "the two-person limit"? When I'm with friends, we order one pizza per person. On occasion, when I haven't eaten a lot during the day, I've ordered two pizzas just for myself. And I'm a regular sized Dutch guy, so not one of those stereotypical Americans that can win eating contests.
- gbear605 8y agoPerhaps you have smaller pizzas than in America? Most people I know could not eat a whole pizza here in America. The two pizza limit is supposed to be more like eight people.
- sulam 8y agoIn America a person can eat two pieces of pizza and maybe a side salad plus a drink and that's plenty. Pizzas have eight slices in their "default" configuration, so one pizza feeds 4 developers. Note: I hate 90% of pizza.
