Explanation:

Not every employee is suitable for every team, since not every employee is good at performing all the tasks in the company. For example, in a new product development process, you might need several teams. To start with idea generation and brainstorming, you generally need creative team members and those who interact with customers like marketers, salespeople, customer services, etc. On the other hand, for the business analysis stage you also need people that know about numbers and costs like accountants.
