>many hands make light work, but
I'd like to emphasize further the but. The speed of tasks scales with the inverse log of the organization size.
In other words, as you get bigger, every project gets slower, regardless of how many people you have working on it. A project that would take a week in a tiny organization might take a month in a medium organzation and 2 quarters in a large organization. Sometimes there are good reasons for this, sometimes not.
