Short-Lived Functional Teams Work

I came to Prezi at a time when we were experimenting with functional teams. And while the teams from that time no longer exist, they’ve left a lasting, positive mark on the company. We call them SWAT teams, and we start a new one whenever we need to build the expertise and institutional knowledge that we lack, as well as infrastructure to support it. Once that task is done, we dissolve the team. All its members go to other teams and bring their knowledge with them.
