I’d go with A, eight per team feels like a good mix.

Wait, can 80 people really self-organize? Sounds chaotic.

I’m leaning towards B, but I recall that having too many people in a team can slow down decision-making. I hope I’m remembering that correctly!

I practiced a similar question where we had to consider team dynamics. I feel like D could lead to better team cohesion if they self-organize.

I think option C makes sense because it emphasizes self-organization, but I wonder if the past relationships would really help in forming effective teams.

I remember reading that smaller teams tend to be more effective, but I'm not sure if 8 or 10 is the better size for this scenario.

This is right up my alley! I'd start by coaching the teams on the Scrum framework and the product vision, then let them figure out the team structure. That way, they can leverage their existing relationships and expertise to form effective groups.

Whoa, 80 developers? That's a lot to manage. I like the idea of letting them self-organize, but I'm worried they might struggle without some guidance. Maybe I can find a middle ground and provide some structure while still allowing for self-organization.

Okay, I think I've got this. Creating teams of 8 or 10 people seems like a good way to balance team size and the total number of developers. I'll need to consider factors like skill sets and past relationships too.

This seems like a tricky one. I'm not sure if I should go with a specific team size or try to let the developers self-organize. Hmm, I'll need to think this through carefully.

If I had 80 developers, I'd probably just tell them to 'go forth and multiply' into teams. Let the chaos ensue!
