On a hybrid project, a developer had to be replaced. The new person is highly skilled in quality assurance but has little development experience. What should the project manager do?

The correct approach is to allow the team to re-evaluate tasks and decide on allocation. In agile and hybrid environments, self-organizing teams are empowered to manage their work and adapt to changes in team composition. Leveraging the team's collective intelligence ensures optimal task distribution based on the new member's skills and the existing team's capabilities, fostering ownership and efficiency. Requesting all QA tasks for the new resource is premature and might not be the most effective use of the team's overall skills. Moving the developer and recruiting a new one is an overreaction and disruptive, especially since the new member has valuable skills. Keeping the existing task allocation ignores the new team member's strengths and weaknesses, potentially leading to inefficiencies and demotivation.
