An international company that is starting to practice an adaptive approach has several development teams located globally. They are having problems with multiple time zones and repetitive project schedule slippage.

What effective tools should the project teams use to collaborate?

Answer options

• A. Benchmark and adopt best practices that are being used by the competition.
• B. Focus on developing products by only using teams that are collocated.
• C. Adopt an iterative development approach and conduct virtual meetings.
• D. Arrange frequent colocated meetings and let the teams work together.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because adopting an iterative development approach and conducting virtual meetings can help bridge time zone gaps and facilitate ongoing collaboration. Options A and B do not address the root issues of time zone challenges and project delays, while D may not be feasible for globally distributed teams.
