Correct answer: Revise the roles and responsibilities and empower the team to make their own decisions..
Why this is the answer
The correct answer is to revise roles and responsibilities and empower the team. The scenario indicates the team is capable but is bottlenecked by the manager making all decisions. Empowering the team aligns with agile principles and servant leadership, promoting self-organizing teams and faster decision-making. Raising a resource request for training is incorrect because the team is already capable. Escalating to the resource manager is inappropriate as it's a team dynamic issue the project manager should address directly. Gathering feedback and defining a process is a good step but less direct and impactful than explicitly revising roles and empowering the team to make decisions.
