A stream-aligned team aims to produce a steady flow of feature delivery. A stream-aligned team is quick to course correct based on feedback from the latest changes. A stream-aligned team uses an experimental approach to product evolution, expecting to constantly learn and adapt. A stream-aligned team has minimal (ideally zero) hand-offs of work to

A cross-functional feature team can bring high value to an organization by delivering cross-component, customer-centric features much faster than multiple component teams making their own changes and synchronizing into a single release. But this can only happen when the feature team is self-sufficient, meaning they are able to deliver features into
