Question

On a fully remote agile project spanning three countries, the project manager notices that one team member has stopped turning on their camera during daily standups, gives only brief updates, and rarely contributes to virtual retrospectives. The team member's deliverables are still on time, but their previous enthusiasm has clearly faded. What should the project manager do first?

Accepted Answer

Schedule a private one-on-one video call with the team member to understand what may be affecting their engagement

Answer

Raise the reduced participation in the next standup so the whole team can encourage the member to re-engage

Answer

Introduce a ground rule requiring all members to keep cameras on during every virtual meeting

Answer

Note the behavior but take no action since the member's deliverables are still being completed on time
