5 Dysfunctions of a Team in LeSS

In LeSS (Large-Scale Scrum), the 5 Dysfunctions of a Team model is a concept that helps teams identify and address issues that may be hindering their effectiveness and collaboration. These dysfunctions, as outlined by Patrick Lencioni in his book titled "The Five Dysfunctions of a Team," are:

  1. Absence of Trust: When team members are not comfortable being vulnerable or honest with one another, it leads to a lack of trust within the team.

  2. Fear of Conflict: Teams that avoid healthy debates and conflicting viewpoints often fail to make sound decisions and struggle to achieve consensus.

  3. Lack of Commitment: Without clear buy-in and commitment from all team members, it is challenging to achieve alignment and accomplish shared goals.

  4. Avoidance of Accountability: When team members do not hold themselves and each other accountable for their actions and commitments, it creates a culture of low responsibility.

  5. Inattention to Results: Focusing solely on individual goals or personal success, rather than the collective success of the team, can undermine overall performance and cohesion.

Addressing these dysfunctions in a LeSS environment is essential for promoting collaboration, productivity, and overall success in large-scale agile endeavors.
