How to Run Agile Teams When a Team Consist of Smaller Sub Teams?
A problem I've run into at a couple past companies is say you have a team of 6 people with a manager. But this team is really working on 3 individual projects with a couple members on each project.
Our daily stand-ups and retros seem to be so mixed between the projects that they don't make sense and often seem like a waste of time for people not working on that specific project. You can see people disengaging.
But splitting up the team would mean multiple 2 member teams which seem too small for things like a weekly retro, but maybe that's my misconception.
Have others had this experience and how do you handle sub teams within teams? Is splitting them up the only real solution?
