In today’s global and digital work environment, teams often work remotely and are spread across different geographical locations. The Project Management Professional (PMP) guidelines suggest that in such situations, the project manager should leverage technology to facilitate communication and collaboration. Setting up a weekly video conference can help monitor the progress of the team member’s work and ensure that they are still able to contribute effectively to the project, despite their relocation. This approach also maintains the continuity and dynamics of the existing team. References: A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK Guide) from www.pmi.org. Specifically, the section on Project Communications Management, which discusses the use of communication technology to manage remote teams.
