One experienced coach is split across the wastewater SCADA team and a lab-LIMS team during early SAFe adoption. What should leadership understand about that design?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Yes, one coach can serve two utilities teams—sometimes. Launch is the expensive part, like teaching two labs the same semester you are still writing the syllabus. Treat the split as a capacity design, not a free default.
Full Explanation
The Scrum Master / Team Coach may serve one or more teams; the Framework does not forbid multi-team coverage. Initial SAFe adoption is more demanding because events, flow, and self-management still need close coaching. Treating two-team coverage as costless, forbidding any split forever, or promoting the coach into RTE work all miss that capacity choice. Leadership should staff the wastewater and lab teams for the adoption load, then revisit the split as the teams mature.
