summary

Groupthink undermines DevOps by turning collaboration into conformity, claiming teams with many fixed mindsets amplify individual bias and self‑censor, killing dissent and innovation. Evidence comes from observable behaviours: confirmation bias and representativeness skew decisions, the planning poker cascade shows successive agreement polarizes estimates, and strong leadership or social pressure locks in bad choices. Result: reduced transparency, poorer communication, stalled DevOps transformation and fewer learning opportunities.
