Two-Pizza Team Rule

Two-Pizza Team Rule: Amazon assigns innovation teams small enough to feed only two pizzas! Jeff Bezos calls this "the two-pizza team rule." By making units compact and vibrant, Bezos minimizes the chaos and challenge of managing too many opinions in one brainstorming or design-thinking meeting, which can waste time and make a group more divisive. Of course, you must select a team with diverse interests and backgrounds. Reason: Innovation, by its very nature, is multidisciplinary.
