"Self-Designing Teams" Workshop
summary
Case study at G2A shows 70 people self-restructure after a three‑month preparation into 11 teams (seven feature teams plus four component teams kept for payments), using a feature teams adoption map, skill cards, flip charts and a 3‑day workshop (team formation, multi‑team refinement, sprint planning). Constraints: max eight people per team, one product definition and one product, one backlog, one product owner. Result: big‑feature time to market drops from 7 months → 40 days and hundreds of weekly deployments.
