To understand James's question, let's break down the structure in the Present Perfect tense:
Has is the auxiliary verb used to form the question. It helps to ask about an action that might have been completed up to now.
Been is used to indicate the passive voice, meaning the action (informing) has been done to the subject.
Informed is the past participle of the verb inform, showing that the action of giving information might have already happened.
The subject in this question is the development team.
Since James is asking, Has the development team been informed? he wants to know if the action of informing has been completed specifically for the development team.
