A PM takes over a dental equipment project in the design phase and finds the prototype is missing a few requirement specifications. What should the PM do next?

The best first step is to meet with the development team to review and assess the requirements specifications. This allows the PM to gather detailed information about the missing specifications, understand the team's current understanding, and determine the impact and feasibility of incorporating them. This collaborative approach ensures a comprehensive understanding before deciding on a course of action. Asking the team to pause work is premature and could cause delays without a clear plan. Developing a workaround immediately might lead to inefficient solutions without proper assessment. Submitting a change request to remove requirements is also premature, as the impact of their absence hasn't been fully evaluated.
