Question 158

Killian is the project manager for an agile team that has been doing things for a long time. As early adopters of agile methodologies, they are well seasoned in many ways but fixed in some others. The coders and developers on the team are experienced but have not learned some newer coding languages and disciplines. What should Killian do with his project team?
  • A Nothing, the team is already ahead of the curve by utilizing agile.
  • B Fire the team and hire younger coders and developers.
  • C Assess the team's skillset collectively and individually.
  • D Teach them scrum.
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.
