A project manager has taken over a project that has been without a project manager for the last couple of weeks. The team is feeling lost and there are a few team members who are confused about the next steps and the final outcome of the project. What should the new project manager do? Escalate the situation to the steering committee and request that more time be allotted to the project.

Avoid conflict and let the team self-organize on how they want to work on the project tasks. Ask the project sponsor to provide team members with a project direction regarding outcomes
