After some reflection I think that D also can be the right answer. Team should be self-sufficient without additional resources.

D - Team members should be self-sufficient, generalist in many and specialized in some areas. If team members are not, try to make them.

Selected Answer: C
The best answer here is C. Add another database administrator to balance the workload and aid with knowledge retention. Here's why: C. Add another database administrator to balance the workload and aid with knowledge retention: This is the most proactive and effective solution. By adding another DBA, you: Reduce Risk: You mitigate the risk of a single point of failure. If one DBA leaves, the other can step in. Share Knowledge: The existing DBA can mentor the new DBA, ensuring knowledge transfer and building a more resilient team. Improve Efficiency: The workload can be shared, potentially increasing overall team velocity.

A. Start the hiring process for a new, equally skilled database administrator as a replacement: While hiring is necessary, it's a reactive approach. It doesn't address the immediate risk and may take time to find a suitable replacement. B. Move this database administrator to another team so that team members learn database-related tasks: This is a risky move. It disrupts the current team's workflow and may not be the most efficient way to transfer knowledge. It also doesn't address the immediate risk of the current DBA leaving. D. Obtain agreement from the team that, on upcoming sprints, the database administrator will act only in an advisory capacity: This approach might slow down the team's progress. The DBA's expertise is crucial for many tasks, and limiting their involvement could hinder the team's ability to deliver. In summary: Adding another DBA is the most comprehensive solution, addressing both the immediate risk and the long-term need for knowledge retention and team resilience.

D. seems like the best way to enable the Team to learn by having the DBA as an advisor and not resolving issues for them. This will lead to having a cross-functional Team.
