Selected Answer: B
The project manager should consider option B. Ask the existing team members to collaborate with the SME and complete the activity. This approach leverages the SME's expertise while maintaining the team's involvement, ensuring that the team understands the changes being made and can incorporate them effectively. The project manager should also discuss the implications of involving the SME with the team and stakeholders to ensure that everyone is on the same page and that the project continues to progress smoothly.

It doesn't sound like "bringing them on board" is the PM's call. Collaborating is a better option.

"discuss the implications later" is a No-No in PMP. Since Agile is "self-manage", there is no harm telling the team to consult the SME what idea he/she can offer.
