In today's business, the ever-changing IT needs have propelled the popularity of adaptive agile software development. Team collaboration is crucial in implementing agile methods, influencing project success and organizational objectives. Furthermore, the global recession emphasizes the importance of effective teamwork for startups, especially when there are efforts to reduce team members amid high uncertainty. The aim of this research is to evaluate the teamwork quality in Indonesian startups and provide recommendations for improvement. To achieve this goal, data will be collected from Indonesian startups through an online survey based on the aTWQ framework. This study utilizes the Agile Teamwork Quality (aTWQ) approach as an evaluation tool for assessing team quality in an agile environment. The focus is on critical factors such as communication, coordination, effort, cohesion, and balance of contribution. Practical recommendations include effective communication training, provision of a central document platform, adjustment of specific time for confirmation and discussion, identification of appropriate forums for addressing communication constraints, recognition of the manager's role in conflict resolution, encouragement of sharing sessions, organization of team-building activities, and implementation of project team collaboration rotations. The findings of this research are expected to offer valuable recommendations for startups in Indonesia, supporting the enhancement of team quality in a dynamic startup environment.
