How microteams change the way we collaborate
summary
Claims that work: form microteams of four people drawn from a domain-wide collective, pick one tiny problem per day, assemble, solve, disband. Practice details: heavy automation with CI pipelines, unit→API→integration tests, SonarQube and Confluence for quality and design, deployment on AWS Fargate with a pipeline to production in five minutes. Outcomes cited: most repos above 90% code coverage, debugging largely unnecessary, sprints discarded in favor of continuous daily cycles.
