In a functional organization, a product analyst is assigned to a short-term application development task and requests support from a peer expert. What should the project manager do?

The project manager should arrange regular pair-programming sessions because this approach directly addresses the analyst's need for support and knowledge transfer while keeping them engaged in the task. Pair programming facilitates immediate learning, problem-solving, and quality assurance. Enrolling the analyst in a training program is a long-term solution that doesn't resolve the immediate task challenge. Reassigning the task avoids skill development and can demotivate the analyst. Having the analyst start and then hand off the work is inefficient and disrupts continuity, potentially leading to rework and loss of institutional knowledge.
