   In a large agile program, the test process improvement initiative is being led by a central quality team. The individual agile teams are not adopting the proposed improvements because they feel the improvements are imposed on them. What is the most effective way to increase adoption?

   • AInvolve representatives from each agile team in the improvement initiative to co-create the improvements.
   • BMandate the improvements through a program-level policy and track compliance.
   • CProvide detailed documentation and training on the improvements for all teams.
   • DFocus on improving the central quality team's processes instead of the agile teams' processes.
