In Agile we often talk about the importance of having relatively stable teams. But is that always the right thing to do?
In this episode, we explore the possible consequences of keeping the teams stable for too long. We discuss possible anti-patterns and what to do about that.
In this episode, we mention the concept of groupthink and the book The 5 Dysfunctions of a Team by Lencioni.
