Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 245

A project manager is starting a new project, and the project team is located in different countries. The team was going to use a specific tool to hold virtual meetings. However, that tool is not available in one team member's country.
How should the project manager deal with this situation?

Answer options

• A. Contact the project sponsor to have the team member removed from the project
• B. Ask the team member to move to another location where the tool is available
• C. Investigate alternative tools for virtual meetings that are available to all team members
• D. Start the project and use email to communicate with the team member until the tool is available

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because it ensures that all team members can participate effectively in virtual meetings, facilitating better collaboration. Options A and B are impractical and dismissive of team members' contributions, while D may lead to communication breakdown and reduced project efficiency.
