What does a healthy team look like

The best way to think about this to understand what a not healthy team looks like. Engineering Management is about balancing people and projects.

Scenario 1

All the people are very happy and all the projects fail. Then the team doesnt serve business goals

Scenario 2

All the projects succeed, but all the people burn out and leave. Then you didnt retain and grow top talent and you cant delivery any further. Hiring takes time and has onboarding cost, so your team is not sustainable.

Both the above scenarios are undesirable outcomes that should be avoided.

Healthy team is about balancing people and projects and to sustainably and consistently deliver against changing business/product/platform needs.
