Best Practices for Group Assignment

🎯 Optimal Group Size

2-3 people: Pairs for interviews or quick discussions
4-5 people: Sweet spot for most activities, ensures everyone participates
6-8 people: Larger discussions and complex tasks
9+ people: Only for very large events or speaker breakouts

💡 Mixing vs. Consistency

Mix throughout: Assign new groups for each activity to maximize connections
Keep consistent: Keep same groups if building specific team cohesion is the goal

⚖️ Handling Odd Numbers

Our generator automatically balances groups. With odd numbers, some groups will be 1 person larger. Option: Have larger groups include a facilitator or co-leader.

🔄 Manual Adjustments

Generated groups are suggestions. Feel free to manually adjust for:
• Avoiding friendship cliques
• Ensuring cross-functional mixing
• Balancing skill levels
• Respecting accessibility needs
