Explanation According to the PMBOK Guide, a project manager should use interpersonal and team skills to manage team morale and performance. One of the skills is recognition and rewards, which involves acknowledging the team's achievements, providing positive feedback, and offering incentives for meeting or exceeding expectations. Another skill is coaching and mentoring, which involves providing guidance, support, and advice to help the team members improve their skills, overcome challenges, and achieve their goals. By using these skills, the project manager can motivate the team, foster collaboration, and prevent or resolve conflicts. References: PMBOK Guide, 7th edition, page 182-183.
Explanation = According to the PMBOK Guide, 7th edition, communication is one of the key enablers of project performance, and it should be planned, managed, and monitored throughout the project life cycle1. For remote project teams, communication is evenmore critical, as they face challenges such as cultural differences, time zone differences, lack of face-to-face interactions, and potential misunderstandings2. Therefore, the project manager should plan a communication method that suits the needs and preferences of the remote project team members, such as email, phone, video conferencing, instant messaging, or collaboration tools3. The project manager should also allow the project team members to virtually interact with each other, to build trust, rapport, and teamwork4. This will help to ensure good collaboration and coordination among the remote project team members, and to achieve the project deliverables.
