One of the most important things you can add value to such a team is to communicate with them and ask them questions about the product roadmap. Among the possibilities are:
1. Ask team members about the project scope, goals and objectives, and anything else that's relevant.
2. If the team is struggling to maintain its track record, suggest developing a schedule and offering feedback and suggestions.
3. Create a shared project plan or roadmap describing all the tasks to be completed and the timeline for completing them, or form a team meeting to discuss the roadmap and develop a plan of action.
In this way, goals, objectives, and timelines can be clarified, along with the roles and responsibilities of each team member. Moreover, it can help create an effective plan where everyone is on the same page.
