EXIN Agile Scrum Master — Question 27

A team's physical environment can have a big influence on how Agile a team can become. An important benefit of an open space workplace is the ease with which the layout of the area can be changed.
Why does this comply with the Agile principles?

Answer options

• A. It follows the inspect and adapt cycle, as the people on the team are learning how to work best with one another during the process.
• B. Pair programming is only possible in an open environment.
• C. Self-organization is only possible in an open space environment.
• D. With people involved, there will always be people issues. Open work spaces allow the Scrum Master to detect people issues and resolve them.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because Agile principles emphasize self-organization, which thrives in a collaborative environment like an open space. Options A, B, and D, while relevant to Agile practices, do not directly relate to the necessity of an open environment for self-organization.
