Selected Answer: B
In a situation where a key stakeholder suggests that having the Scrum team in lessons learned workshops for a successfully delivered hybrid project is a waste of time, the project manager should consider the value of including the Scrum team's perspective on the project. It's important to promote a culture of continuous improvement and learning, even in successful projects. Therefore, the most appropriate course of action is: B. Ask the Scrum team members to share retrospectives.

Even if the project was delivered successfully, lessons learned workshops are valuable for capturing insights that can help improve future projects — especially in hybrid environments, where both traditional and Agile teams collaborate.

Selected Answer: B
In a hybrid project, it’s important to recognize that agile teams (like the Scrum team) have specific practices for reflecting on and improving their processes. Retrospectives are a key part of Scrum and agile methodologies, where the team reflects on their work and identifies areas for improvement. Rather than forcing Scrum team members to attend the workshops simply for the sake of participation, the project manager should leverage the team's expertise and knowledge through sharing their retrospectives. This way, the Scrum team can contribute valuable insights from their iterative work cycle, highlighting what went well and what could have been improved from their perspective, which aligns with lessons learned activities. The retrospectives already provide valuable feedback from the Scrum team on the specific processes, challenges, and successes that occurred during the project. These insights will contribute directly to the lessons learned workshops.

In planning lessons learned workshops for project closure, it's beneficial to include all relevant team members, including the Scrum team, to gather diverse perspectives and insights. Therefore, the project manager should invite the Scrum team members as mandatory participants. This ensures that the team's experiences and feedback are considered, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of what worked well and what could be improved in future projects. Option C, "Invite the Scrum team members as mandatory participants," is the recommended approach.

Selected Answer: C
It is important to involve all project team members, including the Scrum team members, in lessons learned workshops to ensure that the project's successes and failures are well documented and can be used for future improvements. The Scrum team members can provide valuable insights on the project's Agile delivery, which can be used to improve future projects. By making their attendance mandatory, the project manager ensures that everyone's feedback is heard and can contribute to the success of future projects.

Option C is the best answer. The Scrum team should be invited as mandatory participants to the lessons learned workshops. This will help to ensure that everyone involved in the project has the opportunity to share their experiences and provide feedback on what went well and what could be improved. It is important to include the Scrum team members in the workshops, as they were directly involved in the project and may have valuable insights and perspectives to share

C. Invite the Scrum team members as mandatory participants. The Scrum team is an integral part of the project and their involvement in the lessons learned workshops is essential to gather feedback, identify what worked well and what didn't, and improve processes for future projects. By making their participation mandatory, the project manager can ensure that the team's perspective is heard and that they are fully engaged in the process.
