Yeah, a single layer focus can lead to silos.

True, but that limits their effectiveness overall.

But some teams focus on specific layers, right?

I think it's B) False. Cross-functional teams should cover all layers.

I always thought they specialized in one layer. This is new info for me!

That's definitely false! Cross-functional teams cover multiple layers.

I'd say this question is about as clear as mud. Anyone who's worked on a cross-functional team knows they don't just focus on one layer.

B) False. Cross-functional teams are the opposite of being siloed. They're all about tackling the system holistically.

Haha, this question is like asking if water is dry. Of course cross-functional teams work on the whole system, not just one layer.

False, definitely. Cross-functional teams are all about breaking down silos and collaborating on the entire system.

This question is a no-brainer. Cross-functional teams are designed to work across multiple layers, not just one.

I’m a bit confused. I thought cross-functional meant they could focus on one layer, but now I’m questioning that. Maybe it’s A?

This seems similar to a practice question I did last week. I think it was about collaboration across layers, so I’d say B as well.

False, for sure. Cross-functional teams are all about bringing together different skills and perspectives to tackle complex problems.

Okay, I've got a strategy here. I'll think about real-world examples of cross-functional teams and how they operate across the full system.

I'm a little confused by this question. I'll need to review my notes on team structures and system architecture to decide.

I think cross-functional teams are supposed to cover multiple layers, not just one. So I’d go with B.

I’m not entirely sure, but I remember something about teams needing diverse skills to tackle different layers. Maybe it’s B?

Hmm, this seems like a tricky one. I'll need to think through the pros and cons of cross-functional teams and how they typically work.
