As your manager, what would be the best approach?

HR implemented a performance review process that rewards team members based on their individual annual performance. Therefore, some team members receive higher bonuses than others. Many team members are unhappy because they feel the bonus distribution is unfair as everyone contributes equally to the overall success of their team.

As your manager, what would be the best approach?
A . Give a personal explanation to the ones complaining about why they are contributing less than others in the team.
B. Invite the Scrum Teams to suggest how to best distribute the bonuses and rewards.
C. Make the assessment transparent, allow everyone to see the rating of all team members, the bonus each one gets, and the reasons.

Answer: B

Explanation:

Scrum Teams are cross-functional, meaning the members have all the skills necessary to create value each Sprint. They are also self-managing, meaning they internally decide who does what, when, and how. They would know how best to distribute the bonuses and rewards and allow them to take ownership of the decision.
