Change in "The Two Pizza Rule"
In "The Two Pizza Rule" there is the following statement:
> This is supported by the fact that as the team size increases linearly, the links between people increases exponentially; thus the cost of coordinating and communicating also grows exponentially.
But clearly the links growth is _quadratic_. The author even acknowledge that:
> The number of links between people can be expressed as n(n-1)/2 where n = number of people.

Attributed to Jeff Bezos and Amazon, this belief is suggests that large teams are inherently inefficient. This is supported by the fact that as the team size increases linearly, the links between people increases quadratically; thus the cost of coordinating and communicating also grows quadratically. If this cost of coordination is essentially overhead, then smaller teams should be preferred. The number of links between people can be expressed as `n(n-1)/2` where n = number of people. |
