When multiple obstacles are blocking progress, the project manager’s first responsibility is to prioritize obstacles so the team can focus on removing the most critical blockers first. You cannot remove obstacles effectively until you know which ones matter most.
Since there are several obstacles identified (not just one), the PM can't tackle everything at once. The correct first step is to assess and prioritize them
When a project manager faces multiple obstacles , the immediate and most critical first step is to prioritize them. Not all obstacles have the same impact on the project's critical path, timeline, or resources. By prioritizing them, the project manager ensures that the team's energy and resources are focused on resolving the most critical blockers first. Once prioritized, the project manager can then systematically assign resources and implement targeted resolution plans.
