Data migration from legacy to a fully redesigned and reimplemented platform is hard.
Lesson learnt #1: idempotency is your ally. Data migration won’t be that job that you run once. Be ready to rerun it without a hassle.
No previous clean-up, no post-processing for what did not change. Idempotency.

A temporary team is dismantled once the scope is delivered, or canceled due to the learnings during the delivery, or reduced because the time is over.
In each temporary team there are a product lead and a technical lead, who may have or not a leadership role in their fixed product teams.

A temporary feature team is a team with the individuals - engineers, designers, data scientists, product managers, you name it - who are required to deliver a feature.
These individuals leave their respective fixed product teams during the time the temporary team is active.

Both the focus on company goals and the long term engagement of the engineers with a manager can be achieved with a model of chapters + product teams, or, my preferred, a model of fixed product teams + temporary feature teams.

While fixed long lived engineering teams have drawbacks, they serve to the purpose to enable long term relationships with a manager - required for career growth - and they are the foundation of a deep product knowledge - required for fostering a product mindset in the engineers -.

An immature team with an immature manager is just never going to go well. The best they can do is learn fast, but nobody seems to ever want to acknowledge that. Instead they learn how to pretend to make progress.
