At the end of a meeting a functional manager privately raises concerns that a project team member is unclear about their role and responsibilities. What should the project manager do in this situation?

The Resource Management Plan defines how project roles, responsibilities, and reporting relationships will be acquired, managed, and released. If a team member is unclear about their role, the most direct and effective solution is to refer to this plan. This empowers both the functional manager and the team member to find the established guidelines. Developing a new work plan with the resource manager is premature and bypasses existing documentation. The project charter provides high-level project objectives but not detailed role responsibilities. While a RACI chart clarifies responsibilities, the Resource Management Plan should already contain this information or guide its creation, making it the primary reference.
