Delay the activity until the next project phase while seeking an expert to join the project team.
Proceed with the activity using current team members and capitalize on their ability to learn the necessary skills quickly during the execution of the activity.
Inform the project sponsor about the lack of expertise and request a decision on how to proceed.
Review the resource management plan for guidance on addressing the expertise gap and consider options such as training, hiring, or subcontracting to acquire the necessary expertise.
Referring to the resource management plan is essential as it should provide a procedure to address resource gaps. The plan may suggest approaches such as reskilling current team members, hiring new team members with the necessary expertise, or outsourcing the activity.
