Dynamic Reteaming is inevitable, you might as well get good at it

Teams by percentage gives dynamic reteaming a bad name – this is an antipattern
Good agile practices tend to help the ability to dynamically reteam
Ties nicely into Modern Agile, particularly experiment and learn rapidly as well as make people awesome
