When facing the potential departure of a key team member during the last iteration of a hybrid project, it is important for the project manager to engage directly with the individual to understand their concerns and reasons for wanting to leave. This aligns with the PMI’s guidance on stakeholder engagement and team dynamics. By having a meeting with the team member, the project manager can explore the underlying issues and work on possible solutions or contingencies that may persuade the team member to stay or ensure a smooth transition if their departure is inevitable1.
