During team meetings, the team often struggles with making decisions about their technical approach. What should be done to improve the quality and timeliness of decisions?
A.
Work with the team to improve collaboration by fostering group decision making and conflict resolution techniques.
B.
Promote team discussion but give the product owner the ultimate decision making authority.
C.
Assign individual team members as decision owners for each key decision to avoid conflict.
D.
Identify team members that demonstrate servant leadership qualities to facilitate discussion and make decisions.
Option A: This addresses the root of the problem. Teams that struggle with technical decisions often lack the skills and processes for effective collaboration. Training in group decision-making techniques (like consensus-building, voting, or structured problem-solving) and conflict resolution can empower the team to make better decisions together.
Let's look at why the other options are less ideal:
Option B: While the product owner has a key role, giving them sole decision-making authority can stifle creativity and ownership within the team. It's important to involve the team in the decision-making process.
Option C: Assigning decision owners can lead to silos and a lack of shared understanding. It's better to have a collaborative approach where everyone feels responsible for the outcome.
Option D: Servant leadership is valuable, but relying on one individual to facilitate all decisions can create a bottleneck and limit the team's overall growth.
