challenges keeps an eye on other alternatives

Hello,
I need to understand the exact meaning of this expression please:
"challenges keeps an eye on other alternatives"

The meaning will depend on the wider context. Can you give us more please ?

Yes, we need a full sentence to start with. Some background information might prove useful too.

this is the context :
"Encourage him or her and make it clear that even someone
with less programming experience will be a useful team
member if he or she asks, challenges keeps an eye on other
alternatives etc. If someone cannot be useful in one way
find out what he can come up with instead."

in the following context, the meaning seems more clear :
"As a PM you will have to keep an eye on the following
factors because they are obstacles to pair
programming:"

Regards

Hi Chflb. I believe there's a comma missing in there and that it should read:
... if he or she asks, challenges, keeps an eye on ...

Thanks for the extra context
