QuestionQ98

Leadership

During a retrospective, team members propose ideas for process improvements. The agile team lead recognizes that, although many ideas differ from standard practices, some are valuable.

What should the agile team lead do?

  • A Require the team to try only those ideas that will ensure success
  • B Allow the team to try ideas, but remind them that results will be reviewed by high-ranking executives
  • C Associate idea successes and failures with the team's incentive plan to ensure accountability
  • D Encourage the team to try the ideas, even if failure may be the outcome
Explanation

Agile continuous improvement depends on teams safely experimenting with potentially valuable process changes and learning from the results. Useful experiments should be encouraged even when they may fail, because failure can provide learning that improves future ways of working.
