A software development firm transitions from a workflow where individual full-stack developers build complete custom mobile applications from scratch, to a highly specialised division of labour where developers are restricted to narrow, dedicated roles (such as front-end user interface coding, database schema design, or API integration).
Which of the following is the most likely consequence of this transition?
An increase in the variety of distinct development tasks performed by an individual developer on a daily basis
A reduction in the average cost of completing each software application due to gains in labor productivity
A decrease in the mutual interdependence of the software developers on the team
An increase in the training time required for a new employee to reach proficiency in their specialized role
