You are managing a hybrid project where the development team uses Scrum while the regulatory compliance team follows a predictive approach. During sprint planning, the compliance manager insists that all regulatory documentation must be completed before any coding begins, while the Scrum Master argues for delivering working increments first. Team members are confused about priorities and productivity is declining. What should you do first to address this situation?

Question

Accepted Answer

The correct answer is B. Facilitating a collaborative session to establish integrated working agreements is the best approach because hybrid projects require tailored processes that honor both methodologies while ensuring team alignment (ECO People Task 1.1). This promotes shared understanding and commitment. Option A (escalation) is premature and removes ownership from the team. Option C shows bias toward one methodology over legitimate compliance requirements. Option D imposes a solution without addressing the underlying lack of shared understanding between the approaches.
