An organization is introducing agile. During an informal conversation the project manager learns that team members currently on different teams want to be on the same team. What should the project manager do?

Allowing team members to periodically choose their teams aligns with agile principles of self-organizing teams and promotes higher motivation and engagement. When individuals have a say in their work environment, it often leads to increased productivity and job satisfaction, which are crucial for successful agile adoption. The incorrect options contradict agile values. Assigning resources based solely on project needs (option 1) or through workforce optimization (option 4) without team input can lead to disengagement and lower morale. Assuming resources will always pick their preferred team (option 2) is a cynical view that ignores the benefits of self-selection, which often results in more balanced and effective teams.
