    A.

    Create mentoring relationships between senior and junior developers

    B.

    Assign separate projects to senior and junior developers based on their experience levels

    C.

    Establish decision-making protocols that balance autonomy for experienced members with guidance for junior members

    D.

    Require all team members to follow the same processes regardless of experience level

    E.

    F.

    Mentoring relationships (A) leverage senior experience for junior development while decision protocols (C) provide appropriate autonomy and guidance for different experience levels.
