A software company office will be shut down for repairs, and a project team will be required to work remotely. A few team members have never worked this way and are apprehensive of how they will be able to consistently deliver their work products.

What should the project manager do to ensure that the team continues to perform while working remotely?

Answer options

• B. Reach out to the resource managers for alternative team members who have experience working remotely.
• C. Identify areas of training for the team to be able to use remote tools for team collaboration.
• D. Reduce the scope of the project to compensate for productivity during remote working conditions.

Correct answer: C
