By having such evolutionary team structure, the advantages are:

-         There is maximization of manpower at the different stages and thus leads to an increase in the overall productivity.

-         Idling time is kept to a minimum as people are rotated around the different teams during the entire work process.

-         Talents and skills within the teams can be easily tapped and shared through the various stages.

-         Overall production cost can be cut down since manpower has been fully optimized (less personnel to be deployed for the job).

Disadvantages of such a structure:

-         The shift in work personnel around the teams may cause them to be disoriented at the start of the next working phase. It may take a long time before they can refocus themselves and get started on the job. As such efficiency is reduced.

-         Since each work personnel will be working in more than one team, it may be that his/her role in another team may not be well-defined and thus expectations of different levels may result from different people. Arguments may arise when such differing views meet. This can lead to a serious breakdown in communication and morale of the work teams.

-         The rotation of work force also means that most of the personnel have to be cross-trained and not just specializing in their own field in order to handle the many tasks of various nature.  

Modifications:

-         With respect to the first and second disadvantages listed, it is important that careful planning and briefing on the next phase of the project is carried out before the current phase has reached an end. This will give the work personnel better orientation to their next job and role to be played. It also gives a clearer definition of their work scope and requirements so that they can prepare themselves for the upcoming phase of the project.

-         Communication should be made available between all the different teams to provide for easy coordination and support.
