A civic 311-app team integrates once per PI, and each merge becomes a multi-day firefight. What should the Scrum Master/Team Coach coach as a flow practice?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Merging 311 code once a PI is like opening every hydrant on the same afternoon; the flood is the batch. Integrate small and often so conflicts stay tiny. Heroes and IP-only merges just schedule the firefight.
Full Explanation
Infrequent integration creates quality and flow interrupts: a civic 311 team that merges once per PI accumulates conflicts and failed builds. Continuous integration is built-in quality that keeps those interrupts small. Batching into one PI merge, waiting for the IP iteration, or assigning an integration hero preserves the large, late event. The Scrum Master/Team Coach should treat CI as a flow practice, not extra ceremony.
