An organization uses a hybrid approach with some phases planned predictively and others executed with agile. During an agile phase, the project manager notices team members sometimes unknowingly work on the same task. What should the project manager do?

In an agile environment, self-organizing teams are responsible for managing their own work, including task assignments. The project manager's role is to facilitate and ensure the team has the tools and understanding to succeed, not to dictate tasks. Therefore, verifying that the team members themselves have made task assignments clear aligns with agile principles of self-management and transparency. Communicating task assignments to the team members (Option A) or confirming the agile coach has assigned tasks (Option B) would undermine the team's self-organizing nature. The agile coach facilitates, but doesn't typically assign tasks. Verifying the product owner has assigned tasks (Option D) is incorrect because the product owner focuses on what needs to be built (prioritizing the backlog), not who builds it.
