Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 377

A geographically distributed project team has development issues between the collocated and virtual teams causing productivity to decrease.
What should the project manager do to address this issue?

Answer options

• A. Force the team members to work from one location
• B. Develop protocols for resolving conflicts between team members
• C. Obtain special expertise to advise the team members
• D. Set up face-to-face meetings with project team members

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Option A is impractical and may not be feasible, while option C may not directly resolve the underlying issues. Option D, although beneficial, does not provide a structured approach to resolving ongoing conflicts.
