"We added teams across time zones and suddenly decisions took 10 times longer. You think, let's scale. We're growing so fast. We need more teams. We need to pump up the volume. We need to go faster. Then, actually, everything takes way longer."
"We scaled from 10 to 100 engineers. Pipelines held up, systems worked, technical worked just fine, but people just didn't work together anymore, just didn't cooperate anymore."
"The case study of LeanIX shows how a tight team of 12 employees faced challenges as they grew to 500, emphasizing the complexities of maintaining collaboration."
Scaling in tech companies often results in unexpected challenges. As teams expand across time zones, decision-making can become significantly slower. Growth from small teams to larger ones can lead to decreased cooperation among employees. The case study of LeanIX illustrates this phenomenon, showing how a tight-knit team of 12 employees faced difficulties as they grew to 500, highlighting the complexities of maintaining collaboration and efficiency during rapid expansion.
