During the course of the project, several obstacles are identified that are preventing the project from moving forward. What should the project manager do to remove the obstacles?

Having the team work on other activities avoids the problem and doesn't contribute to removing the obstacles preventing project progress.

Implementing plans to remove obstacles is a subsequent step; first, the obstacles must be understood, analyzed, and prioritized to ensure the most impactful ones are addressed strategically.

Escalation to the steering committee should typically be considered after the project manager has attempted to resolve the obstacles or if they are beyond the project team's authority and capability, not as the first step for all obstacles.

When multiple obstacles are identified, prioritizing them allows the project manager to focus efforts and resources on the most critical impediments first, ensuring efficient problem-solving and minimizing overall project impact.
