D. Ensured frequent and continuous integration of work to obtain early feedback and continuous learning One of the core principles of Agile is continuous integration. Regularly integrating the work of multiple teams helps catch integration issues early, allowing for timely feedback and adjustments. By ensuring frequent integration, the project manager would have been able to detect problems sooner and avoid a decline in overall product release progress. A (Scrum of Scrums) could help with communication and issue resolution, but it doesn’t directly address the integration problem. B (forming a separate QA team) contradicts Agile principles of shared responsibility for quality. C (arranging an online session) is more of a one-time solution rather than a continuous process improvement. Thus, continuous integration (D) is the most appropriate choice in this scenario.

I guess D was most voted because in A), it was stated that the SOS was to remove the team's impediments, but in this case, each team's progress was on track. The issue is at integration rather than teams' progress.

The Scrum of Scrums is a time-boxed session in which a representative from each Team shares high-level updates on their respective team's work and articulates their progress and impediments.
