Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is a lightweight team because Karen is only spending 25 percent of her time on the project and there is a separate project manager. A heavyweight team would involve more dedicated resources and a higher level of priority for the project. Functional teams are organized by department or function and would not typically have a separate project manager. Autonomous teams have a high degree of decision-making authority and self-direction, which is not indicated in this scenario.
