Review the current project plan and redistribute the absent team member’s tasks among the remaining team members. Prioritize critical tasks to ensure key milestones are not delayed.

The first thing to do if a team member's absence causes web app development to halt is to evaluate the important tasks they were in charge of and ascertain how this impacts the schedule. To reduce the disturbance, I would promptly determine the most important locations and, if need, think about allocating temporary resources. I would then divide up the work among the team members who were available, matching duties to their areas of strength. To keep the project moving forward if there are no internal alternatives, I would consider hiring consultants or temporary assistance. It's critical to keep stakeholders informed about any changes to deadlines or procedures at all times.

1.Improve planning and keep some risk appetite. 2. Raise the risk with stake holders on or before time and keep them in loop (negotiate if it makes sense) 3. Redistribute the tasks 4. If nothing is possible, just role up your sleeves, take few key members with you and dive in. It really helps at times having hands on manager in these situations to access the situations and take immediate actions, provided you have already established trust with team and the respect for technical abilities, believe in time lines to become possible no matter what!

Although one of a 'few experts' to answer this, I am not going to. Linkedin AI doesn't really care if your web app progress is affected since it is some kind of computer program. For you, improve the planning next time.

When a team member is absent, here's how to keep the web app project moving: Review the user story or document they were working on. Use AI tools to analyze the current code and assess progress. Identify what's left to complete the task. Choose a available team member to take over. Help the new developer understand the existing code and remaining work. Set realistic expectations - the new person might need time to catch up. Provide extra support and resources to the new developer. Be prepared to adjust deadlines if needed. Remember, switching developers mid-task can be tricky. The key is to give clear information, offer support, and be flexible. This approach helps maintain progress while being realistic about the challenges of handover.
