During execution a global project team uses video conferencing for daily meetings, but only a few members actively participate, causing misunderstandings. What should the project manager do?

The project manager should review the meeting ground rules to reaffirm the team's initial agreements. This is the most effective first step because it reminds the team of established expectations for participation and communication, which they may have forgotten or neglected. It promotes accountability and reinforces the importance of active engagement for successful collaboration, especially in a virtual setting. Using round-robin check-ins can be helpful but might not address the root cause of disengagement if team members are still reluctant to speak or feel their input isn't valued. Scheduling one-on-one meetings is time-consuming and shifts the responsibility for updates away from the team meeting, potentially reducing its effectiveness. Designating a single representative centralizes communication, which can lead to information loss and further disengagement from other team members.
