What does swarming aim to achieve in Agile project management?

To distribute tasks among different teams
To have the team focus collectively on one challenging user story
To minimize the number of meetings in a project
To allow for parallel processing of multiple stories

The correct answer is: To have the team focus collectively on one challenging user story

Swarming in Agile project management is focused on having the entire team collectively concentrate their efforts on a single challenging user story or task. This approach allows team members to leverage their diverse skills and perspectives, fostering collaboration and creativity to resolve complex issues quickly. When the team converges on one task, they can address blockers, expedite problem-solving, and enhance the quality of the output due to the collaboration of multiple team members with varying expertise. This collective focus encourages communication and faster iteration, ultimately leading to improved efficiency and effectiveness in delivering value. The aim of swarming is to overcome obstacles swiftly by pooling resources and knowledge to achieve a common goal, rather than spreading efforts thinly across multiple tasks or user stories.
