A project manager is leading development of a mobile banking app using a hybrid approach. The team held daily standups each morning, but due to an issue 50% of the team must work from home and management directed no in-person standups. Team members complain about poor information sharing. What should the project manager do?

The best option is to hold virtual daily standups and use collaboration tools because it maintains the core benefits of daily standups—information sharing, problem identification, and team synchronization—while adapting to the new remote work constraint. This approach leverages technology to overcome the physical distance, ensuring continuous communication and collaboration. Delegating authority and requiring weekly reports is insufficient; it reduces communication frequency and proactive problem-solving. Postponing standups and having team members send individual updates to the project manager creates a bottleneck and diminishes team-wide visibility and collaboration. Requesting senior management permission for weekly in-person meetings contradicts the directive and doesn't address the daily communication need.
