Which of the following is the key feature of a self-managed (autonomous) team?

A self-managed team takes collective responsibility for planning, organising and controlling its own work with minimal supervision from a manager. This autonomy is its defining feature, whereas dispersal across countries or a fixed project life describes virtual or project teams instead.

  1. AIt is led by a manager who sets every task and deadline
  2. BIt takes collective responsibility for planning, organising and controlling its own workCorrect
  3. CIt is formed only from members in different countries
  4. DIt exists only until a single project is completed

Explanation

A self-managed team plans, allocates and controls its own work with limited supervision, taking collective responsibility. A manager directing every task contradicts autonomy. Location and project duration relate to virtual and project teams, not to self-management.
