- iainctduncan 3y agoYeah, we know all that, I mean that's literally what we do. But I can tell you that I have seen companies with the same feature scope range over an order of magnitude in seats. There's a lot of overhiring in this business. We often look at private companies going from initial bootstrap to their first exit, and I'm telling you, those are a whole different ball of wax. They manage to do a shit ton with not very many people.
- flatline 3y agoYou really don’t need a ton of staff dedicated to those things in a 100 person company. This is still a small business by most measures. A C Suite? It could be a sole owner still at that size, though it is stretching the margins. Roles tend to be less differentiated in small companies, and many of those functions are filled informally. That being said, 118 still sounds pretty lean for the scale they are operating at.
- ekianjo 3y agoYou dont have all this in most small sized companies. Silos exist only when you grow big.
- cmckn 3y agoI’ve never seen these kind of roles even in huge companies. “Sprint master” as a job description? Can’t be serious.
- eru 3y agoWell, I've heard of 'scum masters' (sorry, scrum masters) as a job description. So 'sprint master' doesn't sound too ridiculous by comparison.
