Selected Answer: B

A mismatch of competencies in the team can be a significant cause of missing deadlines. The project manager should work to address this issue by providing appropriate training to improve the team's competencies and skills. This can help ensure that the team members have the knowledge and resources needed to complete their work on time.

Selected Answer: B

I'm gonna go with B, it will solve the root cause and not just add more time. You can document/increase the schedule, but its going to keep increasing if you don't fix the problem.

is this really C? I fully understand to be transparent, but this does not help to deliver earlier... - so why not B?
