I'm a bit confused about option B; I thought switching projects too often could actually disrupt the team's focus.

I think option A makes sense because it reduces the chances of sub-groups forming, which can slow things down.

I remember reading that smaller teams can communicate more effectively, but I'm not sure if it's just about similar backgrounds or something else.

I'm a bit confused by the wording of the question. Are we supposed to be looking for the main reason why smaller teams are more productive, or just any reason? I'm leaning towards option A, but I'm not 100% sure.

Okay, I've got it. Smaller teams are more productive because there's less overhead and bureaucracy to deal with. Everyone's contributions are more visible, and it's easier to coordinate and stay aligned. I'm going with option A.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. The question is asking why smaller teams are more productive, but the options don't seem to directly address that. I'll have to think this through a bit more.

Haha, option B is clearly the most absurd choice. Switching between projects every sprint? That's a recipe for disaster, not productivity!
