What do you think needs to be done? (choose the best answer)
A) Allocate the bonus to the team and let them decide how to split-up the bonus.

Suggested Answer: A

In Agile, success is the result of collective effort, and team-based rewards encourage collaboration and a shared sense of responsibility. When bonuses are allocated based on individual performance, it can create competition within teams, which may lead to disengagement or reduced teamwork. Allowing the team to split the bonus reinforces the Agile values of collaboration, trust, and transparency.

I’m not convinced that option A is the best solution. I remember a case study where team bonuses led to issues with accountability. Maybe option B has its merits after all.

I’m a bit torn. While I see the value in rewarding high-performers, I also recall that team success is often a collective effort. Maybe option A is the way to go?

I think we practiced a similar question in class, and I leaned towards option A too. It just feels more equitable, but I wonder if it might lead to some resentment among team members.

I remember discussing how team dynamics can be affected by bonus structures. It seems like option A could promote collaboration, but I'm not sure how to handle disagreements on splitting the bonus.
