Project Management Professional (PMP) — Question 86

Development team members are located in three different time zones. It is difficult to find a suitable time to hold the daily standup for all team members.
What should the project manager do?

Answer options

• A. Give up the daily standup and replace it with a daily report.
• B. Let the team members decide themselves if they want to join the meeting.
• C. Encourage frequent, small team meetings with two or three team members.
• D. Require all team members to join the daily standup regardless of the meeting time.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because encouraging small team meetings allows for better participation and communication among team members in different time zones. Options A and B do not address the need for regular communication, while option D imposes a requirement that may not be feasible given the scheduling challenges.
