A project manager is leading a hybrid project.

 In a hybrid project, where both traditional and agile methodologies are applied, it is important to maintain flexibility while ensuring that all tasks are accounted for in the project plan. Assigning unallocated tasks to a functional role provides a temporary solution that keeps the project moving forward. This approach allows for tasks to be addressed by available team members, with the understanding that they will be reassigned as needed when the appropriate resources become available. This strategy helps in avoiding delays and ensures that the project does not stall due to unassigned tasks345.
