Answer: A

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. The Scrum Team is responsible for all product-related activities from stakeholder collaboration, verification, maintenance, operation, experimentation, research and development, and anything else that might be required. They are structured and empowered by the organization to manage their own work.

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.
