Some members of an agile project team work remotely, so it is difficult to have regular face-to-face backlog grooming sessions. How should the agile practitioner ensure that the team is able to reduce miscommunication and rework in this environment?
A.
Understand the physical and virtual communication needs of the team and plan agile events based on the majority of the team members' needs.
B.
Escalate with senior management and ensure that everyone on the project team is physically colocated for all planned agile events.
C.
Invest in technology-collaboration tools to enable effective communication and ensure a common understanding of the scope, issues, and solutions.
D.
Recognize the different communication styles of the stakeholders and take a vote on the best approach that will work for the team.
In a remote environment, effective communication tools (such as video conferencing, real-time collaboration software, and virtual whiteboards) can significantly reduce miscommunication and rework. These tools facilitate real-time collaboration, regardless of team members' locations, and enable regular backlog grooming, discussions, and alignment.
While the other options have their merits, they might not be as practical or effective:
A: Understanding communication needs is important, but without the right tools, it might not be enough to ensure effective communication.
B: Escalating to senior management to collocate everyone might not be feasible, especially in today’s remote work environment.
D: Recognizing different communication styles is valuable, but taking a vote might not lead to the most effective solution for reducing miscommunication and rework.
A. Understand the physical and virtual communication needs of the team and plan agile events based on the majority of the team members' needs.
---> focus on the description of "majority" and asking point from question (mis-matched with answer), this is not the option.
B. Escalate with senior management and ensure that everyone on the project team is physically colocated for all planned agile events.
---> no sense
D. Recognize the different communication styles of the stakeholders and take a vote on the best approach that will work for the team.
---> focusing on "difference communication style" is good but the objects are stakeholders, so this can not be option.
as a result the option C is good choice
