Question

Options

• AGet a senior executive to champion the transformation.
• BGet the team managers to monitor their team's progress on a daily basis.
• CMake a swift transition and start using Scrum for all projects.

• A

• B
  10% (3)
• C
  16% (5)

Explanation

Executive sponsorship is the cornerstone of any successful organizational transformation - a senior champion provides the authority to remove blockers, allocate resources, and signal to the entire organization that the change is a strategic priority, not an optional experiment. Option B is wrong because daily monitoring by team managers contradicts Scrum's principle of self-organizing teams; micromanagement undermines the autonomy that makes Scrum effective. Option C is wrong because a "big bang" rollout across all projects simultaneously creates chaos, overwhelms unprepared teams, and leaves no room to learn from early mistakes - phased adoption is the industry-recommended approach. Memory tip: Think of executive sponsorship as the "air cover" for change - without it, ground-level efforts get shot down by organizational resistance before they can take hold.
