Hi, would like some insight information on this questions:
To MOST effectively manage teams working on different packages within a large project, which one of the following should be true?



a) One technical lead should control the project details and communicate decisions to the different teams.

b) Type of database ( DB2 UDB, Oracle, Sybase, or InstantDB )

c) The team leads should focus on quality designs for the internals of their packages, mentoring their team members.

d) Communications between the teams should be minimized to reduce overhead burdens while they work on separate, independent use cases for their packages.

"PTSUI",
The Java Ranch has thousands of visitors every week, many with surprisingly similar names. To avoid confusion we have a naming convention, described at http://www.javaranch.com/name.jsp . We require names to have at least two words, separated by a space, and strongly recommend that you use your full real name. Please log in with a new name which meets the requirements.
Thanks.

Are you 100% sure the answer is (d)? Look at the question and notice the keyword "manage". If you go with (d), which is saying that communication is to be kept at a minimum among teams, then where is the management between the teams occuring? "Managing" implies that someone is overseeing the details of the project, which leads me to believe that (a) might be the answer. That's the reason why I picked (a), why did you pick (d)?

Are you joking? The answer is NOT B, it's not even a statement to be judged whether it is true of false.

Hi SAFROLE,
I am not joking;IBM is!
I have taken this test a number of times.I know that although this answer doesn't make any sense, you have to select this option to to score on this question.
This question has been discussed earlier in a seperate thread here.I have given my reasoning on each option.
By going through the above thread, you would realise that sometimes you do tend to get an incorrect version of this question, while taking the pre-assessment test.
However the correct answer is "An architecture board of team leads should negotiate and coordinate changes to inter-package messages.".You have to assume that this option is B.
Good Luck,
Sandeep
