A project manager is forming a team for a complex AI/ML project that requires expertise in machine learning algorithms, data engineering, cloud infrastructure, and regulatory compliance. The organization has limited internal resources with these specialized skills. What should the project manager do FIRST?

Request budget approval to hire external consultants for all required specialized skills

Form the team with available internal resources and plan extensive training programs

Systematically map required specialized skills to available internal resources and identify specific capability gaps

Reduce project scope to match the specialized skills available internally
