  Research has shown that the maturity of small workgroups from a psychological
perspective is intimately connected to team agility. We, therefore, tested if
agile team members appreciated group development psychology training. Our
results show that the participating teams seem to have a very positive view of
group development training and state that they now have a new way of thinking
about teamwork and new tools to deal with team-related problems. We, therefore,
see huge potential in training agile teams in group development psychology
since the positive effects might span over the entire software development
organization.
