During the daily meetings with the team the project manager notices that a new team member is not making the expected progress on an assigned task.
What should the project manager do?

Answer options

• A. Ask the new team member to follow the team ground rules
• B. Ask an experienced team member to identify a replacement
• C. Ask the new team member to reassess their own capabilities
• D. Ask an experienced team member to coach the new team member

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because providing mentorship from an experienced team member can help the new team member improve their skills and integrate better into the team. Options A and C do not address the need for support and guidance, while option B prematurely considers replacing the new member instead of developing their potential.
