Answer: D

Explanation:

While using a common release schedule could increase team synchronization, it is the role of the Product Owner to set common goals and help the teams to deliver value. Having the same release schedule might be a good recommendation but it does not guarantee increased value or frequent delivery (and thus time to market). The increase of value delivery is an often a result of applying Scrum in combination with empirical principles (transparency, inspection and adaptation) and the Scrum Values (Commitment, Focus, Openness, Respect, Courage).

Reducing the number of features in a product release can dramatically improve T2M; focus on removing non value-added activities from the product development and delivery process helps improve their T2M.
