You are managing a digital transformation project using a hybrid approach where infrastructure components follow a predictive lifecycle while software features are developed iteratively. The infrastructure team has completed their foundation work ahead of schedule, and some team members are now idle. The software team is struggling with their current sprint and could use additional resources. Your project sponsor suggests moving infrastructure team members to help the software team immediately. What should you do first?

Question

Accepted Answer

The correct answer is A. In a hybrid environment, before reallocating resources between teams using different approaches, you must first assess whether team members have the right skills and can adapt to different ways of working (ECO Process Task 3.2). Simply moving people without this assessment (option B) risks adding non-contributing members to an already struggling team, which could worsen velocity and morale. While hybrid projects do require careful management of different approaches, arbitrarily keeping teams separate (option C) ignores potential synergies and wastes available capacity. Option D is premature without first exploring internal reallocation possibilities.
