An agile project manager notices that one of the team members is developing extensive knowledge in a specific matter. Other team members are likely to require this knowledge in the future. What should the agile project manager do?
A.
Ask the team member to develop more expertise and become a subject matter expert (SME).
B.
Ask the team member to provide a training session for the rest of the team.
C.
Ask the team member to produce a lessons learned document and share it with the team.
D.
Ask the team member to record highlights the team may want to know.
Keyword: "For the Future". Since the knowledge is not required for other members, at least for now, the best option is to document it first and leverage on documentation later. We learn new things everyday, if everything also ask for training, then the team will not be efficient.
IMO Lessons learned are different from creating a document about a skill, like an article about a law or a technology. It's more like "That happened, we did X and the output was Y" or share what worked and what did not work.
In this case, we are talking about an ability someone have that the other don't. a masterclass and training (we are not talking about stopping the team for a week to make that) can help to share information (that's good in any case) and give good insights about the subject
B. Ask the team member to provide a training session for the rest of the team.
-> "training session" is not always efficient. Also, the team member may feel pressure.
C. Ask the team member to produce a lessons learned document and share it with the team.
-> "lessons learned document" is wrong.
D. Ask the team member to record highlights the team may want to know.
-> Yes, just let him first prepare materials so the team members can refer to them. A training session could be considered if necessary.
B. Ask the team member to provide a training session for the rest of the team.
This approach aligns with agile principles of collaboration and knowledge sharing, ensuring that the entire team benefits from the expertise of one member and can continue to work effectively and efficiently. Training sessions promote direct interaction and allow for questions and discussions, facilitating better understanding and retention of the knowledge.
Alot of peers says "Future" means next project, but since it is agile, what about the term "future" means next sprint? and it also states that other team memebers likely to use that knowledge.
Realistically, just train the other team members in case if those two decided to leave the project in the middle of the project or if the project stops etc. option B is good to go
The agile project manager should **B. Ask the team member to provide a training session for the rest of the team**. This approach promotes knowledge sharing and ensures that all team members have access to the information they need. It also fosters a collaborative environment where team members can learn from each other's expertise. This is in line with the principles of Agile, which emphasize individuals and interactions, as well as customer collaboration.
training is not for future use its for immediate transfer. Answer is document lesson learned. Thank Jez I think independently. Don't just follow the crowd.
In an agile project, promoting knowledge sharing and collaboration among team members is crucial. When one team member is developing extensive knowledge that others may require in the future, the agile project manager should encourage knowledge transfer and team development.
Key words in the Question:
develop Knowledge in a specific matter - (team member having more knowledge about one specific matter it could be "one task".
"likely" to require this knowledge - (knowledge may or may not be required for this project)
So the knowledge is about a specific matter (could be a task). it should be record as a lesson learn for future use.
