Which team type is organized to assist other teams with specialized capabilities and help them become more proficient in new technologies?

An Enabling team is a specialized Agile team that assists other teams in gaining proficiency in new technologies and skills. Their primary goal is to increase the autonomy and capabilities of stream-aligned teams. They achieve this by providing support, coaching, and sharing expertise on specific technical domains, tools, or practices, thereby helping to clear upcoming impediments and enhance the overall value delivery of the Agile Release Train (ART). This team type is temporary by nature; they engage to solve a specific problem and then move on.

B. Platform team: Provides and supports a platform that stream-aligned teams use to deliver their work, but their primary role is not proficiency-building.
C. Stream-aligned team: Organized around the flow of work and empowered to deliver value directly to the customer; they are the ones being enabled.
D. Complicated subsystem team: Focuses on building and maintaining a part of the system that requires deep, specialized skills, not on enabling other teams.
