  • A. Implement a project newsletter so the different team members can be informed about the progress of each project.
  • B. Make sure that each individual project schedule is aligned with the common deadlines.
  • C. Combine all of the small projects into one big project so the team can collaborate better as one big team.
  • D. Facilitate communication promoting a Scrum of Scrums so the different teams are aware of the dependencies and progress.

Um Scrum de Scrums é uma prática ágil que envolve representantes de diferentes equipes se reunindo para compartilhar informações sobre o progresso, identificar dependências e coordenar esforços. Isso é especialmente útil em projetos complexos e com várias equipes, como o projeto de transformação digital mencionado na pergunta. Essa abordagem permite que as equipes coordenem suas atividades, compreendam as dependências e tomem medidas para garantir que os prazos sejam atendidos. Embora outras opções também possam ter méritos em diferentes situações, a opção D é mais direcionada para a abordagem híbrida e para lidar com as dependências entre diferentes partes do projeto.

I would go with D as it helps to address the dependencies between the project. That's said, I am a bit hesitant due to the fact the Scrum of Scrums is normally used to manage multiple Scrum teams and not to manage multiple project that follow different methodologies like Agile and Waterfall.

I don't know what "Scrum of scrums" is but I would say it is something that belongs to the Scrum world, right? So it's about the Agile world. But since the project is hybrid, it means that there is a predictive part... so how does the predictive part align if you only do "scrum of scrums"? With this solution, at best Agile projects are aligned with each other but not with the predictive part...
