Individual Class Ownership

Correct Answer: Design a transition strategy including knowledge transfer sessions from the outgoing member to the new member.

In Agile teams, essential knowledge of crucial components of the project, such as class ownership, is critical to smoothly carry out project operations. The best practice mentioned here is to design a transition strategy including knowledge transfer sessions from the outgoing member to the new member. This approach ensures that the new team member acquires the necessary knowledge and experience from the outgoing member. The other alternatives are not desirable because: 1) Leaving the new member to figure out the class ownership alone does not guarantee the understanding of vital aspects of it and might break the continuity of the project. 2) Delegating the task to another experienced team member could, in a way, disrupt the workflow of that team member and hence, affect the overall project. 3) Dependency only on documentation could result in the loss of practical insights the leaving team member might have and also might not cover all the scenarios encountered before.

Correct Answer: Let another team member familiar with the class step in to assist.

In a situation with individual class ownership, it's best to allow another team member familiar with the class to step in and assist to ensure deadlines are met and to maintain team collaboration.

Correct Answer: Pair the new team member with experienced team members to learn about the classes.

Pairing the new team member with experienced team members allows for a smoother introduction to the individual class ownership structure and promotes collaboration.
