Explanation
= The project manager, as a servant leader, should ask the team members to decide collectively on how to support the team. This is because the team members are the best people to know their own availability, preferences, and constraints. The project manager should facilitate a collaborative discussion among the team members to find a solution that works for everyone and respects the agile principles and values. The project manager should also empower the team members to self-organize and take ownership of their work and commitments.
Option B is not a good action, as engaging in separate ceremonies with these team members may create inconsistency, confusion, and duplication of work. It may also reduce the transparency, communication, and feedback that are essential for agile projects. The project manager should try to ensure that all team members participate in the same ceremonies and follow the same process.
Option C is not a good action, as evaluating alternative options and trying to find resources with similar skills may not be feasible or desirable. It may also create additional costs, risks, and delays for the project. The project manager should try to retain the existing team members and leverage their skills and knowledge. The project manager should also respect the team members' personal conflicts and not force them to leave the project.
Option D is not a good action, as performing the ceremonies without the team members and sending them notes by email may not be effective or efficient. It may also create a sense of exclusion, isolation, and disengagement among the team members. The project manager should try to ensure that all team members are actively involved and engaged in the ceremonies and the project. The project manager should also use interactive and synchronous communication tools and techniques to foster collaboration and alignment among the team members. References:
