The pair explain how this minimalist approach allows for clear responsibilities and operational clarity, and how it enables individuals to concentrate on their tasks without being overwhelmed.\nTibo also shares his insights on the broader principle of lean teams, and how small teams can remain agile and focused on delivering results.
