Answer: B

Explanation:

When applied correctly many leadership and management responsibilities are embraced by Scrum Team. This will reduce the demand for the number of managers but not eliminate them. The role of the manager is to create and maintain an environment where Scrum Teams can become and stay successful. Agile Managers manage the system where the Scrum Team can succeed with its goals and collaborate on the goals of the organization. Agile Managers do not manage Scrum Teams.

Agile Leaders focus on three things:

(1) Create and nurture a culture in which experimentation and learning are embraced.

(2) Collaborate with employees (at all levels in the organization) to find common values to create a greater goal for the company and the teams.

(3) Create an organizational structure that reinforces the other two dimensions.
