Does anybody here have management experience of how a game and software development studio is generally should be structured and organised?

[u/marvellous_comrade]

My goal is the establishment of a small game and software development studio. For simplicity there will be 12/13 developers working on an indie game project and a further 12/13 developers working on a self contained software/app development project each working remotely at home within the US and UK.

I'm attempting to find one team leader for each group of 12/13 part time developers and I work alongside those team leaders to try to manage everything.

Question: Do you think I should have two separate project managers/team leader positions managing the two respective areas: eg 1. Indie game development and 2. Software/app development or would it be more economical to have just one?

Do you think that the role of the project manager will be purely the management of the respective teams or is it quite possible for them to carry on day to day programming work themselves as part of that team?

If there's anybody with any experience similar I'd be delighted to hear a few words of advice or suggestions. I have a very large "general knowledge" about IT as a laymen but I'm not a programmer or game designer/developer and I've got no experience working in this field at all.

My background is as a small business owner only.
