In the planning phase of a project aimed at launching a new mobile banking application, the project manager discovers that the team lacks expertise in a critical security protocol required for the application's compliance with industry standards. This skill gap could lead to delays in the development schedule and pose potential security risks if not addressed. Additionally, ensuring that the team is adequately trained or supplemented with the necessary expertise is essential to meet project deadlines and maintain the integrity of the application. To effectively manage this issue within the Planning Performance Domain, the project manager should:

Allocate additional budget to purchase advanced security tools, assuming that tools alone will compensate for the team's lack of expertise.

Identify and integrate a training plan or hire external experts to bridge the skill gap, ensuring the team can meet the project's security requirements and timelines.

Adjust the project scope to exclude certain security features, thereby reducing the complexity and reliance on specialized skills.

Develop a risk management plan that includes contingency measures for potential delays caused by the skill gap, without addressing the skill shortage directly.
