Teams are an excellent asset for having the business of your dreams that can produce the desired results. Having a great team is more than a group of gifted/talented individuals coming together, It is a family away from your immediate family.
A good team only communicates professionally but a great team communicates both professionally and personally they create stronger bonds among peers and fellow professionals, Which propels a higher level of productivity and efficiency.
Here at SkilledUp Life, our teams consist of people from all over the world with different ethnicities and cultural backgrounds. This ties strongly to remote work – a model spurred into prominence by COVID-19.
This is not forgetting that SkilledUp Life is a two-sided talent marketplace dedicated to matching amazing volunteer talents to early-stage startups within the technology space – easily becoming a win-win. We build our most productive and efficient teams through the remote-work model, through which we connect fantastic talent from around the world with the businesses and professionals they deserve. But one question that comes readily is ‘What is an ideal team size?’
The size of a team is an important factor that determines the performance of the team – however, secondary in every sense to its purpose. The purpose for which a team is being built provides the most important basis for the size to which it should be built.
Say you are building a product – a website, an application, etc. The question would be what team size can be harnessed to make the purpose of building the product a reality? – This to all intent and purpose would depend on the capacity of the founder or team lead to coordinate, as well as the magnitude of work to be achieved. Thus, there isn’t an ideal number out there, only an ideal purpose.
But it is important to note that there are many trappings to the volunteer system at SkilledUp Life;
Volunteers are obligated to render only 1-3 hours of their time daily Mondays through Fridays.
Startups can build unlimited teams composed of unlimited numbers of volunteers.
Roles require varying levels of specialization and skills – Very skilled hands may be constrained for time, etc.
Quite a number of factors should be borne in mind when deciding your ideal team size; but at the end of the day as a founder understand that you are obligated to your business to drive its purpose, while also ensuring that volunteers are getting the opportunity to gain more experience.
