In an agile project, a team member warns they may not complete a task on time, risking a blockage for the team. What should the project manager do?

In an agile project, the daily stand-up is the primary forum for team members to communicate progress, discuss impediments, and raise concerns. By asking the team member to raise the issue at the stand-up, the project manager facilitates transparency and allows the entire team to collaboratively find a solution, embodying agile principles of self-organization and collective problem-solving. Emailing all team members bypasses the collaborative nature of the stand-up and might lead to fragmented communication. Reassigning the task without team input can undermine team autonomy and may not address the root cause of the delay. Postponing the task to the next sprint without understanding the impact and exploring immediate solutions can lead to delays and impact sprint goals.
