## What Jamie wrote

It is certainly common for people to look at other companies and try to emulate what they do hoping to have the same successes. This article looks at team practices to deliver software, and there really is no correlation. This doesn't surprise me at all. The way that you choose to build software is not based solely on the size of your organization, it has a ton of other inputs, most of which are more important than size. The short answer here is that each company has to figure out how to best deliver software for their situation. Sorry, there are no shortcuts here.
