In that case, maybe we should wait until all members of the team can attend training to ensure everyone is on the same page.

I agree with Blossom. It's important to consider the whole team before making a decision.

That's a good point. Maybe we should ask the team if there is an issue with the current work flow first.

Absolutely. And I think option C is probably the best approach here. That way, the team lead can get a sense of whether there's a broader issue, and then send the one member to training if it's warranted. Personally, I'd avoid waiting until all members can attend training, as that could take too long and hold up the project.

Ensuring that the team member gets the necessary training will ultimately benefit the entire project.

Waiting for all members to attend training might delay the project, so it's best to handle it promptly.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Maybe the team lead could do a quick survey or discussion to see if the rest of the team also feels like the current workflow is a problem. That way, they can make a more informed decision.

I agree. It's important to understand the team's workflow and dynamics before making a decision. Sending one member to training without consulting the rest of the team could create some tension or resentment, so getting their input is crucial.

Hmm, this is an interesting question. I think it really depends on the specific situation and the team's needs. If the inability to handle the database administration work is truly impacting the team's velocity, then I think the agile team lead should consider sending the member to training, but they should also get buy-in from the rest of the team first.
