In a monthly review, a high-performing team member raises a concern about the quality feedback mechanism, saying they cannot deliver high-quality output. What should the project manager do first?

The project manager should first discuss the issue with the team and review the quality process because this directly addresses the team member's concern and involves the entire team in finding a solution. This approach fosters collaboration, identifies potential systemic issues, and ensures that any changes to the quality mechanism are understood and supported by those directly affected. Requesting stakeholder feedback is premature without understanding the internal team's perspective. Assigning work in consultation with a functional manager or based on skill sets doesn't address the underlying quality feedback mechanism issue raised by the team member.
