The tribe model, also known as the squad model, is a product management approach where cross-functional teams are formed and organized around specific products or features. Each team, or "tribe," is comprised of individuals from different departments such as engineering, design, and marketing, who work together closely to develop and deliver the product. This model promotes collaboration, communication, and accountability within the team, as well as a sense of ownership and pride in the product's success. The tribe model is particularly effective for startups and fast-paced environments where rapid iteration and innovation are key.
