Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 1040

A project manager is appointed to manage an infrastructure project that spans across several countries, including different time zones within a subregion. It is likely that most of the project team members will never meet, but they will have to collaborate to ensure deliverables are met.

What should the project manager do to ensure good collaboration between the remote project team members?

Answer options

• A. Discuss the concerns with the project sponsor and modify the project charter to include more budget for interactions.
• B. Create a social media group platform for the team to create a supportive environment.
• C. Set the ground rules and identify a contingency plan in the risk register.
• D. Plan a communication method and allow the project team members to virtually interact.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer, D, emphasizes the importance of planning a communication method that facilitates virtual interactions among team members, which is crucial for remote collaboration. Options A and B, while helpful, do not directly address the need for effective communication and collaboration. Option C is important for risk management but does not focus on enhancing team interaction.
