You have been hired to manage a software development project. The project team will consist of 5 team members. Each team member will be located in their home country and the project will be managed virtually. One member is from Canada (French is her first language), one member is from India, one member is from South Korea, one member is from Silicon Valley (in the US), and one member is from London, England. All members speak English, but it is not the first language for many. As you begin to put your communications management plan together you realize there are many communication barriers that may prevent you from effectively managing communications on this project.

1. List the four communication

2. List three possible contributors to each barrier (i.e., something that may exist or not exist, or something that may happen or not happen).

3. List one thing a project manager will do in order to help remove each of the barriers (one action per barrier for a total of four actions)
