What is an advantage of Team Organization?

• A. Depth in expertise
• B. Erosion of specialty skill sets
• C. Greater skill range
• D. Technical inconsistencies among teams

Answer: (C)

Team Organization brings together people with different skills into collaborative groups, so projects can draw on a wider mix of capabilities within each team. The main advantage is a greater skill range, meaning teams can handle tasks that require multiple disciplines—design, analysis, testing, and implementation—without always needing external handoffs. This breadth enhances problem solving and adaptability as requirements shift.

Depth in expertise tends to come from highly specialized, single-function roles, which is more typical of a functionally organized setup rather than a team-based one. Erosion of specialty skill sets describes a potential drawback of uncertain cross-training and role drift, not an advantage. Technical inconsistencies among teams signal a lack of standardization and coordination, also a negative outcome.
