Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 1321

A global company hired a project manager for a new implementation at all of its sites. After reviewing the business case and project charter, the project manager notes that the project team has different locations and regions to consider.

What should the project manager do to address this situation?

Answer options

• A. Coordinate virtual meetings to assess the project team's communication needs.
• B. Inform the project sponsor of this situation and request cultural orientation training.
• C. Coordinate virtual and face-to-face meetings at each site to improve communication.
• D. Inform the steering committee of the situation and request additional resources.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as coordinating virtual meetings allows the project manager to assess the specific communication needs of the geographically diverse team effectively. Option B, while important, does not directly address the immediate communication challenges posed by the team's locations. Option C may be beneficial, but it is more resource-intensive and may not be necessary if virtual meetings can suffice. Option D focuses on resource allocation rather than improving team communication, which is crucial in this scenario.
