QuestionQ244

Delivery

The project lead of a newly formed agile project delivery team identifies knowledge gaps among some team members. A lack of particular skills will increase delivery risk if the project becomes overly dependent on specific resources for complete delivery.

What should the project lead do to close the gaps and build a high-performing team?

  • A Ask each team member to document their solutions extensively in a knowledge repository for knowledge exchange between the team.
  • B Pair team members and ensure review of technical deliverables by partners in each sprint before integration of the solution.
  • C Create an environment of continued learning by providing opportunities for team members to develop their skills as generalized specialists.
  • D Replace the team members with highly qualified individuals that have experience in the specific technologies required for completing delivery.
Explanation

Agile teams reduce bottlenecks and dependency on individual specialists by continuously developing team members as generalizing specialists: people with a core specialty and broader capabilities across the delivery process. Providing ongoing learning opportunities builds cross-functional capacity, enables team members to help one another, and strengthens delivery resilience.
