You are managing a hybrid project for a financial services company where the infrastructure team uses predictive methods while the application development team uses Scrum. The infrastructure team has completed their work package on schedule, but the development team needs an additional sprint to integrate a regulatory compliance feature that was just clarified by the legal department. The infrastructure lead is concerned about team members being reassigned if they remain idle. What should you do first?

Question

Accepted Answer

The correct answer is A. In a hybrid environment, facilitating collaboration between teams using different approaches is essential. Option A enables the infrastructure team to add value through integration support and testing while preventing resource waste, which aligns with hybrid project coordination principles. Option B is the main distractor because extending the infrastructure phase when work is complete creates unnecessary costs and doesn't address the real need for integration support. Option C risks knowledge silos and integration issues, while Option D violates the principle that adding resources late in development typically decreases productivity (Brooks's Law).
