Part 2

4.2 Discussion Post

For this discussion, think about how communication plans and methods are affected when some project team members or stakeholders are in a different location.

Then, make a post that answers the following questions:

• Have you been a part of a virtual team, or do you have experience communicating with a virtual team? What methods did you use for communication? Were they successful? What were the challenges? Explain.
• Think about the communication plan you just created. What changes would you need to make to your plan if the development team in the scenario was a remote or virtual team in a different city in the same time zone? Explain.
• What if your team or part of your team was in a different country? Would that need more changes in your communication management plan? Explain.
• Compare your experience working with or in a remote team. How was your experience in using different communication methods similar or different? Did you face the same challenges?
• Explain two reasoning of managing virtual team and identify any risks you think may arise due to the changes.
