In a project using a hybrid approach, the performance of the team was consistently excellent during the predictive stages. When the iterations began, however, the team members started to show signs of low commitment, conflicts, and confusion, resulting in low morale.
What should the project manager do to handle this situation?
In a project using a hybrid approach, where the team displayed strong performance during the predictive stages but faced issues when transitioning to iterations, the primary challenge is the shift in methodology. The team members are likely unfamiliar with agile processes, causing confusion, conflicts, and low morale. Therefore, the project manager should focus on coaching the team on agile processes and knowledge to ensure they understand and can effectively operate within the agile framework. This will address the root cause of their difficulties and help them adjust to the new approach.
The team already worked together before as stated in the question so they know each other, the issue started with they started to use Agile. so they need to understand how Agile works
I choose A because if the team are showing signs of low commitment, conflicts, and confusion, resulting in low morale during Iteration, then they will need coaching and understanding of the Agile way of work to avoid confusion and low morale
since it was working with predictive before its obviously not a team problem. A is correct: they have no clue about agile.
Ans: A While B also is correct, but if you look at the context of the question, it is evident that there is a significant difference in the output and morale when they shifted from Predictive to Agile ways. So team needs better coaching on agile ways to adjust to the new routine. So my choice is A.
L'équipe travaillait bien ensemble pendant la phase prédictive, les problèmes de performance, de morale, etc. sont apparut juste après avoir changé de méthode de travail. Donc la Root cause ici c'est le basculement en méthode Agile. La réponse A est la mieux adaptée ici.
In a situation where there is a transition from predictive stages to iterative/agile stages and the team encounters challenges such as low commitment, conflicts, and confusion, team-building activities and efforts to enhance collaboration can be beneficial. Agile methodologies often emphasize the importance of a collaborative and empowered team. Team-building activities can help foster a positive team culture, improve communication, and address any issues that may be impacting morale. Coaching on agile processes may also be useful, but addressing team dynamics and collaboration is a key aspect of improving the team's performance in an agile environment.
A should be first considered
"low commitment, conflicts, and confusion, resulting in low morale." Team building is required.
