Selected Answer: B
C. Two of the team members were asked to do multitasking, which they did not do in the previous two sprints. Explanation: Multitasking is generally detrimental to productivity. It leads to context switching, which can significantly reduce efficiency and output. The sudden introduction of multitasking to two team members would disrupt their workflow and negatively impact the overall team performance.

Selected Answer: B
B. Two of the team members have been working in silos using different methods to validate their performance. In an adaptive or agile project management approach, team collaboration is crucial for successful project outcomes. Option B, where two team members are working in silos using different methods, indicates a lack of collaboration and coordination within the team. This can lead to reduced productivity, as it may result in duplicated efforts, miscommunication, and a lack of synergy. Options A, C, and D do not directly address issues related to team collaboration or coordination. Technical debt (option A) and multitasking (option C) are different concerns that can affect productivity, but they don't specifically address the collaboration aspect. The measurement of velocity (option D) using a tool introduced in the third sprint may affect metrics, but it doesn't directly point to collaboration issues within the team.
