I think A and C really show how teams can take ownership of their work.

Wait, are we really saying management should be in Daily Scrum? That’s surprising!

E just sounds wrong, self-managing means more collaboration, right?

I’m a bit confused about D; it seems like management's involvement could undermine self-management, right?

I practiced a question similar to this, and I think A and C really emphasize the team's autonomy.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like B could be relevant since involving external people might show collaboration.

I remember that self-managing teams should be able to plan their own work, so I think A and C might be the right choices.

This seems like a tricky one. I'll need to think carefully about the security objectives for controlling ICS power output messages.

Okay, let me think this through. Adaptive approaches are more flexible and iterative, while predictive ones are more plan-driven. I'm guessing the answer is probably Adaptive, since that aligns with approving requirements at the end of a phase. But I'll double-check to be sure.

Okay, let's see. The question is asking about a service that can send notifications to mobile devices when users are online. That sounds like it could be SNS, but I'm also wondering if SQS or the Email Service might work. I'll have to review the details of each service to decide.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about how to approach this. I'll need to review the standard costing and JIT concepts to make sure I understand them properly before I start crunching the numbers.

Option B? More like 'Developers are strictly working within the boundaries of their cubicle!' Self-management, this is not.

C and D for sure. Anything that gets the Developers actively involved in decision-making is a sign of a self-managing team.

Hmm, I'm torn between C and E. Inviting the right people to Sprint Planning is a smart move, but C seems to hit the nail on the head more directly.
