They say that if the "magic number" of team members (which is 4) get reduced, then each member is (much) more likely to get overloaded with tasks, while if the number is increased, then communication and portioning of tasks between the members become more complicated. π€π€―π€
Of course, each team member should also understand what each other member is doing in the team. π€π

Oh the conundrum of creating a project management team! While it would hold true for a team of any number, having one place where team members check and communicate every day is even more important for teams beyond 5 members.
Understanding what the other members do is different from being able to do what the other members do, and there should be an equal portion of both I'd say. πππβ¨π€
