A project manager is leading a distributed team across different countries. Some team members report difficulty accessing the team's primary communication platform due to local technical restrictions and limited bandwidth. Which action should the project manager take to address this communication challenge?
Evaluate and adopt communication tools that accommodate the technological constraints of all team members.
Schedule regular in-person meetings to compensate for the technological limitations.
Instruct team members to resolve their access issues with their local internet service providers.
Continue using the current communication platform and expect team members to adapt.
The project manager should evaluate and adopt communication tools that accommodate the technological constraints of all team members. By selecting platforms that are accessible despite technical limitations, the team can maintain effective communication. Instructing team members to resolve access issues individually may not be feasible and could delay the project. Scheduling in-person meetings is impractical for a distributed team and doesn't address the core issue. Continuing with the current platform ignores the problem and hinders team collaboration.
