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?
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
C is the right answer. read the question carefully, two teams were combined to deal with one product, it means before combination there were two POs, two SMs, and two teams. After combination, the roles should be combined as well since they were shifted to deal with one product only.
A is incorrect because team members are self-organized inside their teams not above that level.
C is incorrect because there is no need to redefine the roles and make new teams because both products are very similar and the teams are still working ok.
B is the right answer, because we bring different teams together, like the ones that were working on the kind of same functionality, now they will work closer. that is it. B is 100% correct.
I think the answer would be B. However this question doesnt look like related to Agile. Its more like a real life scenario, where one company acquires another same product based company, how would the re-organize.
A - Correct
From PMI’s Agile Practice Guide, Page 39:
“Agile encourages self-managing teams, where team members decide who will perform the work within the next period’s defined scope.”
