Addressing the issue of tardiness directly with the team member is a proactive approach that aligns with the principles of effective communication and individual respect outlined in the PMBOK Guide. By speaking with the team member, the project manager can understand any underlying reasons for the lateness and work collaboratively to find a solution. This maintains the integrity of the standup meeting as a key communication tool within Agile methodologies and respects the time of all team members.

Additionally, the Professional in Business Analysis (PMI- PBA) reference materials advocate for addressing individual team member challenges in a manner that supports the overall project objectives and team dynamics12.
