Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

In Agile, success is the result of collective effort, and team-based rewards encourage collaboration and a shared sense of responsibility. When bonuses are allocated based on individual performance, it can create competition within teams, which may lead to disengagement or reduced teamwork. Allowing the team to split the bonus reinforces the Agile values of collaboration, trust, and transparency.

This is why I always advocate for co-located teams. Cats and dogs living together - mass hysteria!

Seriously, 'follow the sun'? That sounds like something my grandpa would say. Sounds more like a recipe for chaos than productivity.

I'm not sure about the cost savings - remote work can be more expensive than you think. But 'follow the sun' is an interesting concept!

A distributed team like this will definitely have communication challenges. Knowledge sharing is going to be tricky across multiple time zones.
