Scaling your Software Development team can often be a daunting task. As soon as you grow to the mark of 5 engineers, that is an indicator that there needs to be a bit more structure in the team.

Imagine having 20 engineers and no clear structure and defined responsibilities. That is where uncertainty, misalignments, and miscommunication come in.

It’s important to separate the engineers into manageable teams, where correct responsibilities and ownership are defined.

So that the teams can function properly, there needs to be great leadership and that comes from the person that is appointed to be a team lead.
