You are the business analyst for a large project in your organization. While your company prefers face-to-face communications there are many stakeholders located in different geographical locations.
How can you still effectively serve as a business analyst when the stakeholders are not collocated?
Videoconferences can effectively facilitate communication and collaboration with stakeholders in different geographical locations. This method allows for face-to-face interaction, which is preferred by the company, and avoids the high costs and logistical challenges of frequent travel or gathering all stakeholders in one location. Implementing videoconferences is a practical solution that maintains the preferred communication style while considering the dispersed nature of the stakeholders.
A BABOK v2 question. Video Conferences is correct as it allows stakeholders to collaborate with each other via face-to-face meetings and is also cost viable option.
From Babok 2, p. 34 If stakeholders are dispersed, it may be necessary to have more teleconferences or videoconferences rather than face to face meetings.
