A project team is globally distributed with team members living and working in different time...

For a globally distributed project team, effective collaboration is crucial. The project manager should:

C. Review the communications strategy with the team regularly with a view for continuous improvement. This ensures that the communication approach remains effective and adapts to the changing needs of the project and its stakeholders. Regular reviews can lead to enhancements in the communication process, making it more inclusive and efficient1.

D. Send out a survey to review the preferred method, time frequency for communications. By understanding the preferences and constraints of the global team regarding communication methods and timing, the project manager can tailor the communication plan to suit everyone’s needs, thus fostering better collaboration2.

E. Compile a communications management plan with input from all stakeholders and distribute for review and approval. A comprehensive communications management plan that considers the input from all stakeholders ensures that everyone is on the same page and that the communication needs of the project are met. This plan should detail the information needs of the project’s stakeholders, including what information will be communicated, how it will be communicated, when it will be communicated, and by whom3.
