A project manager notices a team member struggling with tasks, which may delay completion. Team morale is low because they will lose the expected bonus if the project is late. What should the project manager do next?

The project manager should acknowledge the team's efforts, encourage them, and offer assistance. This approach addresses the immediate morale issue and the struggling team member directly. By offering help, the project manager supports the team member, potentially preventing further delays without immediately resorting to more drastic measures. Updating the schedule and budget is premature; the project manager should first attempt to resolve the issue. Asking the client for a delay is also premature and could damage stakeholder relations. Replacing a team member or adding resources through HR is a last resort, as it can be disruptive and may not be necessary if the current issue can be resolved with support.
