When a tool has been identified that could resolve a significant bottleneck in a hybrid project, it is crucial to ensure the team can effectively use it. Enrolling team members in training on the tool will enable them to leverage it properly, thereby addressing the bottleneck and improving project efficiency. Escalating the issue to the product owner might not directly solve the problem, and reducing the testing scope or adding developers are not ideal solutions, as they do not address the root cause of the bottleneck.
A is good.
But the team identifies the tool needed to resolve the issue, why do they need to be enrolled for training? I'll think that A captures the proper way to manage this by escalating the issue to the PO and recommending what the team identified.
Shouldnt the product owner be aware of this before the team members get started on the new tool?
