Explanation

Self-correcting without escalation is the hallmark of a truly mature, autonomous team - when a team can identify problems, adapt, and resolve them internally, it demonstrates the psychological safety, shared ownership, and systems thinking that CSAPM is designed to cultivate. Option A (predictable delivery) is a desirable outcome, not a cause of success - it results from team health, not the other way around. Option B (following agile practices) is necessary but insufficient; mechanically applying ceremonies without genuine self-management misses the point entirely. Option D (high velocity) measures output speed, which can actually mask dysfunction if teams are churning without reflection or improvement.

Memory tip: Think "S = Self-sufficient → Successful." The CSAPM model trusts teams to govern themselves - if they need to escalate to resolve routine issues, the model hasn't taken hold yet.
