Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: C
Explanation
This team is a good one, but everyone needs to brush up on their skills and tactics from time to time. Killian should assess the team and look for the most glaring things the team should catch up on, and he should work to assess and refresh the team. Doing nothing will not assist his team in moving forward. Specific disciplines are not the problem. Replacing people with younger coders would be a waste of a talented team and demoralizing for all involved.Discussion
