You are managing a hybrid project where the development team works in two-week sprints while the regulatory compliance team follows a traditional waterfall approach. During a retrospective, several development team members express frustration that compliance reviews are causing delays at the end of each sprint. The compliance team lead explains they need at least five business days to review deliverables but are only notified when the sprint ends. What should you do first to address this conflict?

Question

Accepted Answer

The correct answer is A. Option A is correct because it addresses the root cause by bringing both teams together to create a shared understanding and integrated process (ECO People Task 1.1 - Manage conflict). This collaborative approach respects both methodologies and empowers teams to find a solution together. Option B is a common distractor but only accommodates the symptom without addressing the communication breakdown; it also disrupts the agile rhythm without team input. Option C places blame on the development team and doesn't solve the notification timing issue. Option D is an unnecessary escalation that undermines the hybrid approach already established for valid business reasons.
