As a project manager, you notice that the project requirements have shifted, and new skills are needed to complete the remaining work. What should you do to address this situation?
Continue with the current team assuming they can adapt to the new requirements
Postpone the project until the current team members can acquire the necessary skills
Assess the skills gap and provide training or bring in new resources to bridge it, depending on timing
Recommend the project sponsor to reduce the project scope to match the team's current skills
The correct answer is to assess the current skills of the team against the new requirements and provide training or bring in new resources to fill any gaps. This ensures that the team has the necessary skills to meet the project's evolving needs. While leveraging existing team members' skills is beneficial, it may not be sufficient if the required skills are not present within the team and deadlines are quickling approaching. Postponing the project to maintain the current team composition can lead to delays and failure to meet project objectives. Recommending the project sponsor to reduce the scope may not be the best approach, as it could compromise the project's intended outcomes.
