Two sprints after launch, the county tax-assessment ART erupts over who owns appeal-letter priorities and whether architects may override team estimates. Several people call the ART a failure. How should the RTE read this?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
The first real argument after the kickoff cake is storming, not a funeral. New ARTs fight about who owns what; that is how roles get real. Coach through it instead of declaring the tax-assessment train dead.
Full Explanation
Storming is a normal group-dynamics stage in which conflict over roles, priorities, and authority surfaces after the honeymoon. A tax-assessment ART arguing about appeal-letter ownership and estimate overrides is following that pattern, not proving the launch failed. Resetting to command-and-control, freezing the conversation, or skipping ART events all avoid the work of facilitation. The RTE names storming as expected evolution and coaches the ART toward working agreements.
