Best ratio for a team

[The Real Makenzie]

I'm trying to do about 9-12 man teams and I was wondering what would be the best ratio for them

[cfranks007]

12 man, 3 of each(with one being lead person). If they are writing software, I train them in everything. Have tables and chairs enough for meetings.

I did that and it was terrible. I did 3 of each group with each begined specalized in one of the areas and by the way they were writing a simple visual software it was gonna take them about a year and half when it should just take them 3 months. Is this just a thing that will be fixed or will this always be in the game?

more people can actually make it slower, when you are speccing the project it will tell you the recommended team size and if you use that many people it seems to be as fast as it can go for the most part.

Do you know what the maximum size for a software besides os before the 90s?

Yes I am also struggling with this, along with automation. There doesn't seem to be any way to set up areas and groups to automate themselves efficiently once you have a good system down? Even if you can find a good ratio/system.

What I found the best for atleast the first 5 years is to have 6 man teams with a leader 2 degsingers with 2d and system same with programers and then a 2d artist.
