Are you all working on different projects/features? That's usually a symptom of teams that aren't really teams. They sit together, but work in completely different worlds and do not really need to communicate together.

Teams have a shared goal that they're trying to accomplish together. If you have a team, you are very concerned about what everyone else is working on and struggling with since it will affect where you can help and what you should be working on.

That's why Agile teams are small teams. If you're team is too large then you'll end up fragmenting and forming sub teams and not caring what the others are working on since it won't affect you.
