A project has completed design activities ahead of schedule. Suddenly, the project manager is informed by a vendor that a deliverable may not meet the agreed delivery time frame due to a resource shortage. The internal team asked if they should continue to deliver as per the schedule.What should the project manager do?

This choice does not address the primary concern of maintaining the project schedule and may disrupt the team's workflow. Assigning team members to the vendor could lead to delays in the project's other aspects and does not provide a solution to the resource shortage issue.

Allowing the team to work at a more relaxed pace does not effectively address the impending delivery issue. This option could result in further delays and may undermine the project's overall timeline, especially if the vendor's resource limitations aren't resolved.

While extending work hours may seem like a quick fix, it can lead to burnout and decreased morale among team members. Furthermore, this approach does not explore alternative strategies that might be more sustainable or effective in meeting the delivery schedule without compromising team well-being.
