How big is your scrum team?

Interested to know what a typical scrum team size (eng+qa) is at various companies, and whether you find it to be ideal, or too big/small?

its better than devs half assing unit tests and writing one automated test to meet requirements. devs writing tests are like devs writing documentation. to op, we had 1 tech manager, 2 frontend, 2 backend, 1 qa, and qa manager would join during grooming

Salesforce moved to hybrid model a few years back; 5 to 10 engineers on a team.

7 total: 5 devs, 2 qa; too big, I’d prefer 3-5

What aspects made it feel too big?

When we did Agile training, we were told teams should be small, 5-7 people. We have 5 on our team.

7 plus or minus 2. That is based On scrum. Has to do with Dunbar. Once you get above 9 conversation becomes to complex.
