You have six teams using a traditional method to deliver a product. Your management has asked you to start using Scrum. In the initial project there were separate plans and teams for the layers of a software system, i.e. one for the front-end, one for the middle tier, one for the back-end, and one for the interfaces and services.

A.

Because they have worked together for some time, they are likely able to start producing shippable Increments faster that new feature teams would.
