Advantages of Squads
In the business world, leaders must maximize efficiency, eliminate waste, and allow their companies to be aware of changes in the market.
However, once the company grows and moves on, many different people focus, each one on their own knowledge, talent, and ways of doing their jobs. To ensure flow and consistency from part to part, different methods of organizing teams are already available today.
Business organizations are reviewing their workforce strategies in response to digital transformation.
The digital transformation has led countless traditional companies to restructure their organizations in order to keep up with the fast pace of new digital businesses and adjust their vision of the future. For a long time, the adoption of traditional waterfall processes, with their separate teams, with little communication between departments to carry out projects and their lack of transparency, was enough to face the challenges of the market.
Particularly with regard to information technology, organizations must adapt to meet the growing need for unique customer experiences and the demands for rapid adoption of innovations.
Methods and concepts such as Design Thinking, Lean Startup and Agile DevOps allow continuous design, consistent delivery and testing of new features. A good way to start the change is to organize your product development teams into autonomous Squads before you start coding.
METHODOLOGY
The Squad methodology consists on creating teams of professionals with different skills and experiences. This way, it is possible to unite different capacities for the pursuit of common objectives in a dynamic, effective and generally high quality way.
So developers can work with designers, product analysts, marketers, planners, copywriters, and many other technology professionals. All in favor of better overall delivery.
And the benefits of this model are quite noticeable and undeniable. The Squad methodology allows for faster deliveries, with higher quality and, mainly, more aligned with the company’s objectives.
The entire management process is handled horizontally. That is, all members of a Squad are treated as having the same level of responsibility – even if there are leaders to guide the team.
