Answer is C. Without team discussion about communication tool, we can not update the communication tool. Suggestion for discussion initiation is required for this case.

B. Update the communications management plan based on the product owner's preferences and distribute to the team. Effective communication is crucial for project success. If the product owner, who is a key stakeholder, has a preference for a different communication tool that is already approved, it makes sense to accommodate this preference. By updating the communications management plan to reflect this preference, the project manager ensures that communications are aligned with stakeholder needs and that there's clarity on how information will be exchanged. This helps in fostering collaboration and ensuring everyone is on the same page.

Selected Answer: C
Effective communication is crucial in project management, and it's important to consider the preferences and needs of stakeholders, including the product owner. If the product owner has a preferred communication tool that is approved and can better facilitate communication for the project, it's a good idea to consider adopting that tool. He is in the planning. There are not a plan for updating
