Edu: Cross-Functional Squads - Critical Org Chart Mistakes To Avoid
2023-09-13
Squads - they’re the “it” way to organise cross-functional teams at Silicon Valley-startups. So why do they often not work?
Unravel the blueprint for achieving organizational excellence through effective squads. With squads, teams transform from mere projects to long-term mission owners. These cross-functional squads, comprised of diverse roles and skills, skillfully navigate the balance between self-management and alignment with company objectives.
Leadership steps in as the guiding force, offering vital support for escalation and resourcing needs. Behind the scenes, functions like product and engineering ensure seamless consistency across squads, fostering collaboration and autonomy.
Discover the financial heartbeat of these squads as they are funded based on their missions, igniting innovation and progress. In this episode, we demystify the true metrics of success: outcomes and objectives. Join us this week as Chris and Yaniv explore the evolution of teams into autonomous, accountable units, all with the guidance and backing of leadership.
