To reassure team members they won’t be criticized for admitting failure or to a problem, it’s of the utmost importance for the team leader to foster an open and safe environment. Asking for help assists the team in meeting deadlines, avoiding
cost overruns, and trying different approaches. The other responses are incorrect. It’s an admirable goal to have little or no team turnover, it’s not the best choice presented here. Additionally, even though some agile projects promote
social aspects, friendships among the project team isn’t the best goal (or choice here) of the open and safe environment. Finally, the open and safe environment is not created to protect the budget.
