Explanation

When teams fail to meet cross-team delivery commitments, the issue is often misaligned priorities or a lack of shared understanding of the overall project goals. A vision-sharing session reconnects both teams to the common purpose and fosters the collaboration needed to resolve dependency issues. Option A (creating a new team and placing Team B under performance management) is heavy-handed and doesn't address the root cause. Option C (swapping team members) may help transfer knowledge but disrupts both teams without solving the alignment problem. Option D (negotiating timelines with Team A) only accommodates the problem rather than solving it-Team A shouldn't have to adjust because Team B can't deliver.
