Edu: Organisational Design - Hiring your way out of incompetence

Edu: Organisational Design - Hiring your way out of incompetence

You're building a complex product, so you need a lot of specialists to handle the complexity, right?

BA, PM, UXR, UX, UI, PgM, PMM, Architect, TL, Scrum Master, FE dev, BE dev, DevOps, QA...

Right?

Chris and Yaniv describe the misunderstandings that lead to the formation of oversized teams of over-specialised roles---and the very real problems and dysfunctions that follow. They then discuss the scalable and effective organisational design adopted by some of the best tech companies such as Google, Uber, Facebook, Spotify, and Amazon.
