A newly formed agile team is in the storming phase of Tuckman's model. Which leadership approach is most appropriate?

During the storming phase, coaching helps team members navigate disagreements constructively while building the self-organization skills needed for long-term team health.
Which metric best indicates healthy collaboration within an agile development team?
Answer: Cycle time from development to deployment decreasing over successive sprints

A product owner frequently changes priorities mid-sprint, causing team frustration and incomplete work. What is the best team response?
Answer: Discuss the impact of mid-sprint changes in the next retrospective and negotiate a change management agreement
Addressing the issue in a retrospective creates a structured space to negotiate boundaries around mid-sprint changes while preserving the collaborative relationship with the product owner.
What is the main benefit of conducting a sprint review with stakeholders rather than just submitting a written status report?
Answer: It enables real-time feedback and collaborative discussion that improves product direction
Live sprint reviews create a feedback loop where stakeholders can ask questions, suggest pivots, and validate assumptions, leading to better product outcomes than one-way reports.
An agile team notices that one developer consistently works in isolation and rarely participates in design discussions. What should the team do?
Answer: Invite the developer into collaborative activities like mob programming and explore whether barriers exist
Inviting the developer into collaborative activities while exploring potential barriers shows respect for the individual while reinforcing the team norm of collective contribution.
Which practice most effectively builds trust among agile team members?
Answer: Consistently delivering on commitments and being transparent about obstacles early
