PMI Agile Certified Practitioner (PMI-ACP) — Question 38

A company has decided to combine two similar products consisting of multiple teams into one product. Engaged customers want to know how the company is looking at re-organizing its teams.
What strategy should be employed to re-organize the teams?

Answer options

• A. All the teams from both products should be simultaneously called together and allowed to completely self-manage
• B. Teams that worked on similar components in the separate products should be combined to minimize disruption and capitalize on synergies
• C. After grouping individuals by role, multi-discipline teams should be created that are comprised of one member from each role
• D. Features should be prioritized and then teams should be organized around those priorities

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because allowing all teams to self-manage fosters collaboration and innovation during the reorganization process. Options B, C, and D each impose a structured approach that might limit flexibility and creativity, which are crucial when merging teams from different products.
