The main difference:
Instead of forming a team to deliver a feature, a performing team works on a feature after another.
Let’s take
a look at options A and B below regarding team, project, and feature:
Option A: Shape a team according to the feature characteristics and the project time.
Option B:
Shape the feature according to the (performing) team characteristics and the
project time.
The team
formation is the main difference between options A and B. A is the typical
project team formation, where a team is selected for a target feature. B is the
feature team, where the feature is selected for a target team.
Mind
twisting, isn’t it?
A team selected for a target featureversusA feature selected for a target team
it seems
similar, but it is drastically different.
Here is why:
The Tuckman model for group development (Forming – Storming
– Norming – Performing) depicts stages for a team developing their work
relationship.
My original hypothesis (from 7monhts ago) is my realization today:
I have been saving project time and money by keeping a fixed team and selecting features for the team.
Thanks Tuckman
for helping me understand the savings! The forming and storming phases are not
consuming much time (and money) anymore. In fact these savings goes towards
delivering more features. The
team is already on a performing stage, and our track record is showing reductions on features lead time and cycle time.

Slap chop!
Thanks a lot for the post and for bringing up the team formation dynamics!
Still, I'd like to understand your idea better, as I don't really think anyone in their right mind would be assembling and disbanding teams for each feature. In my book (and I by no means claim it's the right one) a team gets assembled _per project_, and this team eventually works on _all_ features from the product backlog. I hardly imagine a team cherry-picking features they'd like to implement - as, in that case, who would work in the rest?
Still, I'd prefer Cheap wow goldto recognise your concept better, as i actually do not actually really feel anybody within their ideal views could well be assembling and disbanding night Buy rs goldclubs for every and every solitary feature.
As white reflects the light, it truly is considered a summer Chinese Fashion color. Nonetheless, white shows dirt and is pretty tricky to help keep clean than other colors.
