How big is BIG? (development Team) [closed]

Question

I'm interested in what constitutes a big team and what ratio of developers, Architects, Testers, Managers etc.

Does anyone have any figures for team sizes on well known projects like windows or SQL Server for instance?

Answer 1

If you ask Jeff Bezos, you optimally want a "two-pizza team": If you can't feed a team with two pizzas, it's too large. That limits you to five to seven people, depending on their appetites.
