Watch out for some of these non-awesome, potential side-effects:
- TyranyTyranny. If the same people keep doing the same stuff, a concentration of knowledge and experience will grow. This is not a bad thing - it is specialization - but can lead to informal power hierarchies (boo).
- Passivity. The effect on people who assume that the person who did something a hundred times will continue doing it.
- Burnout. The person who did that thing a hundred times? Yeah, they're pretty tired now.
- Passive aggressiveness. If several people rapidly change each others work without considering it, it can be disrespectful and lead to informal or formal conflict.
- Confusion. If many people are doing many things simultaneously without connecting this can lead to wasted energy of people doing the same things.
- Waste. If multiple people do the same thing without realizing there can be a loss of efficiency. (See Going to group)
