In Agile project management, when a team member is struggling with an impediment that is hindering the team’s progress, the project leader should identify the impediment and associated risks at the daily standup12. The daily standup, also known as the daily scrum, is a short meeting where the team discusses progress and identifies obstacles2. By bringing up the impediment and its associated risks during this meeting, the project leader ensures that the entire team is aware of the issue and can work together to find a solution12. This approach aligns with the Agile principle of self-organization, where individuals on the team take on key responsibilities2. References:
