A PMO and you agree to start daily standup meetings on a new project, but the team has never used them and some members resist. What should you do?

The correct answer is to define the ground rules, responsibilities, and conflict management strategies. When introducing a new practice like daily standup meetings, especially with team resistance, it's crucial to establish clear expectations and a framework for how the team will operate. This proactive approach addresses potential concerns, clarifies the purpose of the standups, and provides a mechanism for resolving disagreements, fostering adoption and effectiveness. Updating the project schedule to include standups in the design phase is too early and doesn't address the immediate team resistance or lack of understanding. Engaging an external vendor for the design phase is an overreaction and doesn't directly solve the team's resistance to a new meeting format. Requesting new team members is disruptive, costly, and avoids addressing the current team's development needs.
