A project manager is leading the organization's first agile project and notices at kickoff that the team lacks a shared understanding of agile. Concerned about the impact, what should the project manager do?

The project manager's role includes fostering a collaborative project environment and ensuring the team has the necessary skills. Mentoring the team on agile principles directly addresses the identified knowledge gap, building a shared understanding crucial for successful agile adoption. This proactive approach empowers the existing team. Considering a predictive approach abandons the agile initiative prematurely. Bringing in a functional manager might help, but the project manager is primarily responsible for the project team's development. Submitting a change request to replace the team is a drastic and often impractical measure that undermines team morale and organizational investment.
