Surprised they only have one DBA! That's a huge risk.

I feel like having the DBA act only in an advisory role might not be enough. What if the team still struggles with database tasks?

I think option C sounds familiar from our practice questions. Balancing the workload and ensuring knowledge retention seems crucial.

I'm not sure if moving the DBA to another team is a good idea. It might just create more problems if they leave the current team without support.

I remember discussing the importance of knowledge sharing in agile teams. Maybe adding another database administrator could help with that?

This is a tricky one, but I think option C is the way to go. Adding another database admin to the team is the most proactive solution to address the risk and ensure the team's velocity doesn't take a hit if the current admin leaves.

I'm leaning towards option D. Getting the team's agreement for the database admin to act in an advisory capacity could be a good way to spread the knowledge and reduce the risk. But I'm not 100% sure if that's the best approach.

Okay, I think I've got it. The key here is that the agile coach needs to address the risk of the team's velocity decreasing if the sole database admin leaves. Option C seems like the best choice - adding another admin to balance the workload and help with knowledge retention.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused here. The question is asking what the agile coach should do, but the options seem to be focused on the team and the database admin. I'll need to think this through carefully.

This seems like a tricky situation. I'm not sure if I should go with option A and start hiring a new database admin, or if option C to add another admin is the better approach.

Okay, let's see here. The key seems to be figuring out what command set is applied between the show ip bgp 2.2.2.2 iterations. I'll need to analyze each option closely to determine the correct one.

This seems like a straightforward project management question. I'd start by recording the issue in the risk register to document it.

Option C is the way to go. Reminds me of the time I tried to be the sole database expert on a team - it was like trying to herd cats with one hand tied behind my back!

I'd have to go with Option C as well. Hiring a new DBA as a replacement (Option A) might take too long, and the team needs the help now.

Having another DBA on the team will definitely help with knowledge retention and prevent a decrease in team velocity. Option C is the way to go.

I'm not sure about Option B. Moving the DBA to another team doesn't really solve the problem, it just spreads the risk across multiple teams.
