Option D sounds a bit excessive. We don't want to hold up everyone's training just because one person needs it. Let's be practical here.

Haha, I'm picturing the team lead staring at the options like, 'Wait, I have to train the whole team? That's a lot of coffee breaks!'

In that case, maybe the team lead should ask the team if there is an issue with the current work flow before making a decision.

Option B sounds like a good compromise. Involving the outside specialists could help us figure out if the issue is truly a skill gap or something else.

But what if the team can't afford to have a member away for training?

I'm all for option A. If the team member feels they need the training, we should just send them and see if it helps improve the team's velocity.

I think option C is the way to go. It's important to get the team's input before sending someone to training, so we can make sure it's really necessary and beneficial for the whole team.
