During a daily standup a blocker is raised that prevents a team member from progressing. The project manager determines the cause is a technical issue. How should the project manager prioritize and address this critical impediment?

The correct answer is to perform a brainstorming session and add the solution to the sprint. This aligns with agile principles of self-organizing teams and continuous improvement. Brainstorming leverages the collective intelligence of the team to find the most effective and efficient solution, and adding it to the current sprint ensures prompt resolution of the blocker, maintaining sprint velocity. Resolving the issue personally for the team member might be a quick fix but doesn't empower the team or address the root cause collaboratively. Escalating to a vendor might be necessary for external dependencies, but a technical issue within the team's scope should first be tackled internally. Coaching the team to develop a solution for the next sprint delays resolution of a critical impediment, impacting the current sprint's progress.
