Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The workflow described in the scenario is known as "follow the sun," where work is handed off between team members in different time zones. Option A (off-shoring) refers to the practice of moving work to a different country entirely. Option B (cross-docking) refers to a supply chain logistics process, not a workflow process. Option C (featherbedding) refers to the practice of hiring more workers than necessary, which is unrelated to the scenario. Option E (time-to-market) refers to the length of time between developing a product and bringing it to market, which is also unrelated to the scenario.
