In a project, when a task on the critical path is at risk of delaying the schedule, it’s crucial for the project manager to identify any impediments that might be causing the delay. In Agile methodologies, such as Scrum, this is often done during daily standup meetings. If a team member has been providing the same update for several days, it may indicate that they are facing a blocker. The project manager should ask the team member if there is an impediment and help to remove the blockers. This approach promotes problem-solving and helps keep the project on track.
