Scrum PAL-I Exam - Topic 4 Question 31 Discussion

Posted by Gladys on Jul 01, 2026 at 06:19 PM

You manage a development organization. The organization currently rewards individual performance bonuses to only a few top-performers on a yearly basis. As a result, only one member of a team might get a bonus, while all others get nothing. Some of your teams feel that this is unfair since everyone on a team contributes to the success or failure to achieve goals. They would like to move toward team bonuses. What do you think needs to be done? (choose the best answer)

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.
