PMP · Question 07 · Task 11: Engage and support virtual teams
A project manager is leading a distributed team across three time zones. During virtual daily stand-ups, they notice that team members in the Asia-Pacific region rarely speak up or ask questions, while team members in North America dominate the conversations. What should the project manager do to improve virtual team engagement?
Answer options:
Schedule separate stand-ups for each time zone to reduce cultural barriers
Implement a round-robin format where each team member must provide an update
Create multiple communication channels and rotate meeting times to accommodate different cultural communication preferences
Ask the Asia-Pacific team members directly why they don't participate more
