Part 4: You and your team started developing a new software product for a customer.
After initial requirement gathering has been done, a contract has been signed, and
delivery date has been fixed. After one week, one of the team members decided to leave
the team. How would you deal with the situation? What is the effect of this on the
work? Give two possible scenarios/solutions to fix this issue. (Answer Briefly)

Solution/ Whenever a team member leaves the team. It can easily become a crisis
