The success key of any team is teamwork, and the most important behavior of teamwork is collaboration. The meaning of collaboration is working together to achieve a goal. It is the central theme for DevOps Teams.
Collaboration offers a number of benefits but also brings with it a number of pitfalls if not implemented effectively, as listed in the following figure.
In order to achieve the benefits, the team should learn to accept or avoid the pitfalls. The discussions can take longer to come to a decision. DevOps teams aim to ensure that team members have overlapping skills and knowledge. However, the overlapping skills might lead to some ambiguity in responsibilities. As a result, it is crucial for a DevOps team to have open communication to ensure that the pitfalls are uncovered and addressed.
