The correct answer is B - Establish a live video feed between the dispersed teams to enable spontaneous engagement and collaboration on issues.
Agile encourages face-to-face communication as the most effective form of knowledge sharing. For distributed teams, this means using video conferencing, virtual whiteboards, and real-time collaboration tools to replicate co-located team dynamics. This improves clarity, reduces misinterpretation, and accelerates problem-solving.
PMI Agile Practice Guide states:
"For distributed teams, using video conferencing, shared tools, and real-time collaboration platforms helps bridge communication gaps and maintains team cohesion. Face-to-face communication, even via video, remains the most effective method." (PMI Agile Practice Guide, Section 4.2 - Stakeholder Engagement) Mike Griffiths also notes:
"Distributed teams must invest in communication technologies to reduce barriers. Real-time, visual communication enables faster resolution of issues and a shared understanding of tasks." (Mike Griffiths, PMI-ACP Exam Prep, Chapter 4 - Team Performance) Incorrect Options:
* A involves centralized control and status reporting - not Agile.
* C demands co-location, which may not be feasible.
* D accepts poor performance instead of addressing root causes.
