Question 41
Selected to lead a team with members located all over the globe, Gigi pushed to use the agile method of running a team, and upper management readily agreed. Why is it feasible to run a distributed team using agile methodology?
- A Agile teams are used to running themselves, so Gigi’s (the leader’s) involvement will be minimal.
- B Being agile lets Gigi select two or three people in each location to work together with the project’s goals in mind.
- C Almost everyone has Internet access, which allows for immediate communication.
- D Agile teams use short iterations to complete tasks and receive feedback to ensure the project is on the right track.
Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: D
Explanation
In an agile project, the short iterations require continuous collaboration and coordination. Every iteration is like a mini-project: it’s complete when delivered and makes chunks of work more accessible to manage than a whole project at the end of its life cycle. The other responses are incorrect. Virtual teams don’t have to work in groups of two or three; while an Internet connection is used for communication, it’s not the best answer here; the project manager will still be involved in facilitating and coaching the team, even if the teams are eventually self-led and self-organized.Discussion
