George Takei posted this fan's drawing a while back, pointing out the hidden "i" in "TEAM". And if you take a closer look at Team Development, you'll find another hidden I. (Not all features require a team!)

The ability to compare instances is one such example. Let's say you follow the standard process for retrieving update sets through to production, usually. You know that making changes directly in production is frowned upon, but you've had high priority, low risk fixes where you've bent the rules. Could your production instance have updates that aren't on your development instance?

Now there's a simple way to find out! From development, add a remote instance to production. From the Team Dashboard, choose "Compare to…" and select your production instance.

You'll then get a list of changes on production that aren't on development, and the changes on development that aren't on production as well.

Voila, no team required!
