subteams

Units within squads

Subteams are smaller groups formed within a larger team, typically organized around specific tasks, projects, or areas of expertise.

A marketing team might have subteams for social media, content creation, and analytics.

The structure allows for focused work while maintaining coordination with the broader group.

Each subteam will report their progress at the weekly meeting.

We divided into subteams to tackle different aspects of the problem.
