As a project manager, Mallory needs to make sure that her geographically dispersed team members can interact and have the same information, templates, and documentation. Which of the following tools should she consider using?

A) Wiki

B) Podcast

C) Blog

D) Video conference software

The correct answer is D) Video Conference software

Explanation:

The rise of the Internet and development of collaborative software have instilled a new dimension into project management.

Projects can now be managed virtually through video conferencing tools.

Where geographical proximity, is a challenge, the elected method of communication should provide room for instantaneous two-way communication (that is giving and receiving of information) without giving room for any misunderstanding.

Some video conferencing tools allow for virtual face to face communication as well as exchange of templates and documentation.

Given the options above, Video Conferencing software is the best choice as it allows real time feed, observation of emotional cues, and pretty much a good alternative to face to face communication.

Cheers!
