Answer options:

Provide detailed instructions to keep the project moving.

Coach the team on self-organization and empower them to make decisions.

Report the team to management for insubordination.

Switch back to Predictive methodology.

How to approach this question

Agile Transformation = Coaching + Empowerment. Don't revert to command-and-control.
