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)
