PMP Practice Question: Process — Agile, Hard
Your organization is running multiple agile teams working on different components of an integrated product. Each team has its own product owner who prioritizes their component backlog independently. During integration testing, you discover that Team A built a feature assuming a specific API structure, while Team B simultaneously changed that API for their own feature—neither team coordinated. This is the third time in two months that integration issues have occurred due to lack of coordination. The teams meet their individual sprint goals but integrated product releases are delayed. What is the MOST effective solution?
