What are the two benefits to having a long-live (stable) team?

A long-lived (stable) team is one that remains intact over multiple projects or iterations, allowing team members to develop strong relationships, trust, and a deep understanding of each other's skills and working styles. This stability leads to two key benefits:

Highly Collaborative:Stable teams develop effective communication and collaboration patterns, which enhance their ability to work together efficiently. They understand each other's strengths and weaknesses and can leverage this knowledge to optimize teamwork and problem-solving.

Trustworthy:Long-lived teams build trust over time, which is essential for open communication, risk-taking, and innovation. Trust enables team members to feel safe sharing their ideas and concerns, which leads to higher engagement, morale, and productivity.

Options A (Projectized) and B (Specifically resourced) are incorrect as they do not directly represent the benefits of having a stable team. Option E (Ability to multi-task) is less relevant, as Agile promotes focused work rather than multi-tasking.
