Correct answer: Mentor the new team member on the methodology the project team is using..
Why this is the answer
The project manager should mentor the new team member on the project's current methodology. The new member is likely applying Scrum practices (daily stand-ups) to a project that may not be using an agile approach, causing friction. Mentoring will help the new member understand the project's established communication norms and overall methodology, allowing them to integrate more effectively. Reviewing the communications management plan with the entire team might be helpful later, but directly addressing the new member's misunderstanding of the current methodology is the immediate priority. Telling the team to continue discussions without intervention won't resolve the underlying issue. Sending an email is less effective than direct, personalized mentoring for behavioral correction and understanding.
