As a project manager, you learn that the project requirements have changed and new skills are now needed to finish the remaining work. What should you do to address this situation?
Continue with the current team, assuming they can adapt to the new requirements.
Ask the project sponsor to reduce the project scope to match the team's existing skills.
Postpone the project until current team members have acquired the necessary skills.
Assess the skills gap and provide training or bring in new resources to bridge it, depending on timing.
Begin by comparing the team's current capabilities with the updated requirements. If gaps exist, close them promptly-either by arranging targeted training for existing members or by acquiring additional resources who already possess the needed expertise. This maintains schedule, quality, and scope. Assuming the team can simply adapt risks missed deadlines and defects, while postponing the project or cutting scope sacrifices business value when a skills-gap solution is available.
