Question 98
Joseph has properly incorporated the agile principle of building projects around motivated team members, and he trusts them to get their work done. Which of these scenarios did he implement?
- A Joseph has implemented the best processes and tools to ensure that the team can keep everyone informed regarding their daily progress.
- B Joseph provides an assignment list of each cycle of the work to be completed, so the team can pick how they would like to handle those assignments.
- C Joseph and the product owner organize and plan the work in product and sprint backlog sessions. As a self-organizing team, the group then distributes that work, being careful not to exceed the team's capacity.
- D Joseph has created a self-organizing team that makes its own decisions daily, receiving additional support from Joseph when they need it
Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: D
Explanation
A self-organizing team makes its own decisions and plans and assigns its own work while relying on other resources for additional support as they are needed. Joseph should not be making assignments independently or with the product owner while best incorporating this agile principle. Processes and tools are not a critical focus of a team incorporating this agile principle, while team collaboration and self-organization are areas of focus. Joseph would not identify the tasks or make assignments. Agile teams are self-directed, so they will be identifying the sprint backlog and determining who will do what in each sprint.Discussion
