You are appointed to manage a new project that has just received approval to start the planning phase. You are new to the organization and have inherited a project team previously selected by top management. The best method of initiating the communication process with the team and to establish expectations with the project team is to:

a. Send a formal memorandum to each team member outlining the project objectives, the requirements of the team, and the time-frame for the work

b. Personally talk to each team member to determine what he would like to do on the project and how that can be accommodated

c. Call a briefing session to set forth management objectives and provide direction as to how to those objectives are to be met

d. Call a kick-off meeting to present the objectives and open the floor for discussion on how to achieve the objectives
