Overengineering is harder to fix than underengineering.

The startup I'm in is at 5 people, not including managers. We didn't use Trello or Slack, but after enough nagging from the CEO, we did. It's easy to fix.

We still don't have daily stand ups or 1-on-1s. The team is small enough that we're synced, and a good PM can usually keep up. A small team can often move faster than a big one because of the lack of processes. Don't lose that advantage.
