On the sixth of seven iterations, a team member reports in the daily meeting that a key function will take longer than expected. What should the project manager do?

In an agile environment, when a team member identifies a potential delay, the project manager's role is to facilitate problem-solving with the team. Reviewing available options and solutions with the team leverages their collective expertise to find the best path forward, which could include re-prioritizing, adjusting scope, or finding alternative approaches. Requesting help to increase capacity or an extension are potential solutions, but these should emerge from the team's discussion rather than being the first action. Logging the issue and escalating to the sponsor is premature; the team should first attempt to resolve the issue internally before involving higher-level stakeholders.
