Losing the plot: decision behaviours in agile systems development

Date
2011
Abstract
The importance of effective decision making in organisations has been well documented. Groups are often formed in order to collaborate skills and information and assist with decision-making. Despite the many benefits associated with groupwork, groups are also subjected to process losses such as groupthink, which in turn have a significant impact on group decision-making. Such process losses may be even more prevalent in agile software development dominated by highly cohesive, self-managing teams. The purpose of this study is to investigate group decision-making in agile software development and assess how agile practices can reduce the occurrence of group process losses.
