Patrick has assumed responsibility for a project that has completed planning and is executing the work packages of the project. In one of the team meeting, a team member questions the validity of the duration that she is assigned to various activities and she seems to be very upset. When the estimate was developed, the team member was not involved as she joined the team later. What action should Patrick take FIRST?

$$ Ask another team member with the needed expertise to review the estimate for those activities

Review the supporting details for the estimates contained in the project plan to understand how the estimates were originally arrived

$$ Suspend the execution of those activities and ask the team member for updated estimates

$$ Remind the team member that planning has been completed and ask her to do the best to complete the tasks within the estimates
