A new agile team is having trouble completing tasks.

The agile leader should develop working agreements with the team to address the trouble and disputes they are facing. Working agreements are a set of guidelines or norms that the team agrees to follow to improve their collaboration, communication, and performance. They help to establish a shared understanding of the team’s values, expectations, and behaviors. They also help to resolve conflicts, clarify roles and responsibilities, and foster trust and respect among the team members. Developing working agreements with the team is a participatory and iterative process that involves the input and feedback of all team members. The agile leader should facilitate this process and ensure that the working agreements are aligned with the agile principles and practices. Escalating the issue to the team’s manager (option A) is not a good option, as it may undermine the team’s autonomy and empowerment. Removing some of the team members (option B) is also not a good option, as it may disrupt the team’s dynamics and morale. Reviewing the roles and responsibilities document (option C) is a useful step, but it may not be sufficient or effective to address the root causes of the trouble and disputes. References:
