Background Information
Now that you have examined the traditional and the agile project management methodologies, you will reflect upon a specific project scenario that requires you to apply the project management concepts and best practices you have learned about in this workshop. Submit your recommendations for a communications plan and team building activity that will promote team cohesiveness and effectiveness. Think about the lack of colocation as well as factors of differences in culture, race, gender, age, and diversity of thought. Your communications plan should include recommendations for communications technologies and methods for the company’s diverse, virtual team. Additionally, you should describe the value of the team building activity in terms of building an appreciation for the diversity of team members and address how that value outweighs the costs of the activity.

What Is Cross-Functional Team? What Does Cross-Functional Team Mean?
In this assignment, you will assume that the team you designed in assignment 2.3 for CafeLatte has been assembled. Some team members, the design team, will be working primarily virtually, while most of the team will be working on the jobsite:
Create a Communication Plan: Identify tools for gathering teams virtually. Make sure to address and plan for communication issues. Additionally, the team needs a central repository for information sharing.
Propose a Team Building Activity: For your virtual team, draft a proposal outlining the plan for your team building activity. It should be inclusive and also encourage an appreciation of your team’s diverse talent and experience. If there is a cost for your activity, justify this cost by communicating the activity’s value proposition.
Your recommendations should be aligned with any potential challenges or issues you foresee for the team and be solidified with project management tools and techniques.
Your submission should be a minimum of 350 words.
All references and citations should be in APA format.
For information on how to cite sources and format a paper properly, review the Academic Writer website or the OCLS APA Style Page.
