A new team member has joined a project team.

 The project manager should schedule a meeting with the new team member to understand the proposed new method of testing. This approach aligns with the principles of agile methodologies, which prioritize individuals and interactions over processes and tools. It encourages open communication and collaboration within the team, which can lead to innovative improvements in the project’s processes. By learning about the new testing method, the project manager can evaluate its potential benefits and facilitate a discussion among the team members to decide whether to integrate this new method into their current practices.
