I remember we talked about how hierarchical structures can hinder Agile teams, but I'm not clear if that's the same as making communication difficult.

I practiced a question similar to this, and I think the answer was about decision-making being centralized. But I can't recall if that relates to communication issues.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like it might create leaders at all levels. That sounds familiar from our group discussions.

I think one issue with hierarchical functions is that it can make communication difficult, right? I remember discussing that in class.

I think the answer is C - it moves the decisions to where the information is. Hierarchical functions push decision-making down to the people closest to the work, which can be more efficient.

Okay, I've got this. The key issue is that it makes communication difficult, which is option D. Hierarchical structures can create silos and slow down information flow.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I'll need to think through the pros and cons of hierarchical functions to determine the main issue.

Hmm, I'm not sure. B sounds interesting, but I think D might be the way to go. Hierarchies can be a real pain in the communication department.

I'd have to go with C. Putting decision-making closer to the information is a good thing, isn't it?
