During a status review of a large, multi-country project, one team's work is consistently late and often requires corrections. How should the project manager improve that team's quality?

The best first step is to evaluate the issue with the team to determine if they have the necessary skills. This aligns with a project manager's responsibility to identify root causes and address them collaboratively. It's possible the team lacks specific skills, training, or resources, or perhaps the requirements are unclear. Guiding all team members and bringing in external consultants (Option A) is a drastic and potentially expensive step before understanding the core problem. Reviewing the issue with the project sponsor and reducing scope (Option B) avoids addressing the team's underlying performance issues and might negatively impact project objectives. Asking a local SME to assist (Option C) could be a solution, but it's premature without first understanding why the team is struggling.
