However, the project is already behind schedule and over budget. What is the best course of action in this situation?

Inform the team member that their request cannot be accommodated due to project constraints and advise them to seek training opportunities outside the project.

Deny the team member's request for training and assign them to tasks that align with their current skill set.

Discuss the team member's request with the sponsor and stakeholders to evaluate the importance of the additional training and its impact on the project's objectives. Adjust the schedule and budget accordingly if the training is deemed necessary.

Approve the team member's request for training and allocate additional budget and time to accommodate.
