Question 1097

A project team consists of members based in country A and subject matter experts (SMEs) based in country B with a 12-hour time difference. What can the project manager do to improve interactions between the team members in both countries?

    Correct Answer: A

    To improve interactions between team members in countries with a significant time difference, identifying virtual communication methods and arranging regular team meetings accordingly is a practical solution. Leveraging technology to enable flexible meeting times can bridge the gap caused by the 12-hour time difference. This approach is more feasible and cost-effective than frequent face-to-face meetings or collocating both teams, which can be logistically challenging and expensive. Ensuring participation of both the product owner and business SMEs is important but does not directly address the issue of improving interactions between the geographically dispersed teams.

It does not say meetings. It just says virtual communications. Also colocation can add unnecessary cost in this context. Therefore A is the best option here
