Hello! I want to tell you about my experience in a self-organizing team. For a year and a half, it had from 3 to 5 developers, I did not hire them, but I built all the processes and development from scratch. I'll tell you what a self-organizing team is, what benefits it brings to the company, the team, and its members.
Self-organizing team
The team has no division into specializations, roles, and anyone other than developers. There are no separate people for client (front-end), server (back-end), infrastructure, testing, project management. Each developer participates in every iteration of the software development cycle: getting a task, clarifying requirements, writing code, testing, deploying, monitoring, supporting.
The team itself chooses technologies, researches them (about relevance, for example), implementation and support - Go or Python, Jenkins or Github Actions, whether Kubernetes is needed.
Backlog preparation, prioritization of tasks and subtasks, distribution of tasks among team members, meetings, retrospectives are the responsibility of the team.

I like it when each member of the team has the same responsibility, it unites and brings results.
