My very first jam was supposed to be in a 5 or 6-person team, but the team did not have a very good chemistry, we were not on the same wavelength, hadn't complementary skill sets and hadn't a similar level of experience, and that ended up not producing a game.

This jam, I worked in a two-person team and we were on a roll, it felt like we were thinking the same thing while effectively being able to work on very distinct parts of the development pipeline. We communicated effectively and got a product done and we were both happy with the result.

Which makes me curious: What has your experience with participating in jams in teams been like? I feel like the biggest challenge of making a game in a team is not so much making the game itself, but managing the team. But as you know, I don't have much experience with that. I would love to hear what experiences you've had, both the small and the large teams, both the good and the bad experiences.
