Correct answer: Remind the team members of their governance responsibilities documented in the team charter..
Why this is the answer
The correct answer is to remind team members of their governance responsibilities documented in the team charter. The team charter establishes ground rules, roles, and responsibilities, including expectations for collaboration and meeting commitments. If weekend work is occasionally necessary due to time zones and was agreed upon in the charter, reminding the team of these established norms encourages adherence to agreed-upon processes and promotes team accountability. Taking over the task (option A) is not sustainable and undermines team autonomy. Skipping reporting (option B) or informing stakeholders of delays (option D) are reactive measures that negatively impact project transparency and stakeholder confidence, rather than addressing the root cause of the team's reluctance.
