Exam PMI-ACP topic 1 question 180 discussion

A. Foster stronger communication by hosting cross-organizational meetings between the two teams Facilitating better communication between the agile and traditional teams through regular cross-organizational meetings can help identify and resolve integration issues early. This approach encourages collaboration, alignment on expectations, and shared understanding, which are crucial when different methodologies are involved.

D = correct. The best solution for communication issues is co-locating. It is typical Agile approach.

The best answer is A. Foster stronger communication by hosting cross-organizational meetings between the two teams. Explanation: The issue of integration suggests that there is a lack of communication and collaboration between the two teams. Hosting cross-organizational meetings will allow both teams to discuss their progress, identify any potential issues, and work together to find solutions. This will also help build trust and understanding between the teams, which is essential for successful integration. Option B, suggesting merging the teams, may not be feasible or practical as it could lead to larger team sizes and potential conflicts in working styles. Option C, creating stories from full technical specifications, may not address the underlying issue of communication and collaboration between the two teams. Option D, co-locating the teams, may not be possible if they are located in different geographical locations or if it disrupts their established working arrangements

A correct D agile team and a traditional development team --> co-locate NO !

D is the answer. A is invalid cross-organizational meeting happens between two organizations. Communication between teams are the issue. Co-location can resolve the issue. If we go with agile team size, combined two team size would not make too big a size.

Merging different mindset is disastrous. Co-locating large team is ineffective. “A” appears to be the best choice.

It has to be B. The issues with integration will always exist if the teams are following different development methods. Since they are working on the same project, it makes more sense to merge them.

A is make sense, the question is about integrating deliverables between the two teams, but using co-locate has different objectives within the agile environment.

A. They need to work cross-functional to meet the expetcations
