In this situation, it's important for the project lead to have a formal conversation with the team member to address performance concerns. The end of the sprint retrospective provides a suitable context for discussing the team's overall performance and individual contributions. A formal verbal communication allows the project lead to provide constructive feedback, discuss expectations, and collaboratively find solutions to improve the team member's performance. It also provides an opportunity to understand any challenges the team member may be facing and to establish a plan for improvement.
B. Formal verbal communication, such as a conversation at the end of the sprint retrospective
This approach allows the project lead to address the performance issue in a structured and professional manner. The sprint retrospective provides an opportunity to discuss the team's overall performance, and having a formal conversation allows for a more in-depth discussion of the specific concerns with the team member. It also enables the project lead to provide constructive feedback and work collaboratively with the team member to find potential solutions or improvements for the upcoming sprints.
Another tricky question here! I think the key here is "Retrospective" which is an essential ceremony at the "End of the Sprint" to review lesson learned.
Another point to add is: We are at the end of the Sprint. If we are midway through the sprint, informal conversation might be a better option to bring the team up to speed. However, we are at the end of the sprint already.
Option D (informal verbal communication) is direct and private, allowing the project lead to understand any potential underlying issues and give the team member an opportunity to discuss their performance without feeling attacked or singled out.
In most scenarios, direct and private verbal communication is the most effective way to discuss performance concerns and ensure clarity and understanding on both sides. If the issue persists or escalates, more formal communication methods might be considered.
Its just the end of first sprint in which this issue was noticed. The question doesn't say that it has happened previously. So, Informal verbal communication would be enough.
Also, retrospective will be late. Which means you have to wait till the end of the sprint. Whereas here feedback needs to be provided proactively. D is better.
