Correct answer: Support the team during planning so they commit only to what they can deliver.
Why this is the answer
The project manager's role in an agile environment is to serve the team and remove impediments. High stress from overcommitment indicates a need to improve planning and commitment setting. By supporting the team during planning, the project manager helps them realistically assess their capacity and commit to a sustainable workload, directly addressing the root cause of the stress. Requesting additional resources might be a temporary fix but doesn't solve the underlying planning issue. Staggered leave is a reactive measure for burnout, not a proactive solution for overcommitment. Stress-relief sessions are beneficial but don't resolve the problem of unrealistic commitments.
