C also makes sense, because a decision cannot be made with suggestion of just one team member. Consensus is needed from other team members which makes C another viable option. For me I will go for C.

Selected Answer: C
I would go with C: Send one member to training only after asking the team if there is an issue with the current workflow In an agile environment, it's important to consider the impact on the team as a whole. While individual skill development is valuable, decisions should be made collaboratively with the team.

Selected Answer: C
The agile team lead should choose option C. They should first discuss the concern with the entire team to understand if there's an issue with the current workflow due to the reliance on outside specialists. If the team collectively agrees that there's a challenge, then sending the concerned team member for database administrator training could be considered. This approach promotes collaboration and ensures that decisions are made collectively, aligning with Agile principles.

Option C. In Agile Framework, it's important to promote self-organizing and cross-functional teams, and to encourage team members to take on new responsibilities and develop new skills. However, it's also important to balance this with the need to maintain a sustainable pace of work and ensure that team members are not overburdened with work they are not qualified to do. In this scenario, the team lead should first ask the team if there is an issue with the current work flow and if the team member's inability to handle database administration is impacting velocity. If the team agrees that this is an issue, then sending the team member to training could be a good option. However, it's important to make sure that this training does not disrupt the team's ability to deliver on their current commitments, so sending only one member to training would be a more prudent approach.

A is correct. A member of the team is unable to perform the job at hand. He is asking for training. If a member needs training to perform better, then to training he/she should go.

A is my answer. C doesn't look correct, why the team lead would ask team if there is an issue with the current flow. A team lead is self emergent and should already know that.
