Selected Answer: B

Building Relationships: For a dispersed team, face-to-face interactions are crucial for building relationships, trust, and a sense of shared purpose. This is especially important in the early stages of team formation. Communication and Collaboration: While technology can facilitate communication, nothing replaces the nuances of in-person interaction for understanding, resolving conflicts, and fostering collaboration. Shared Understanding: Face-to-face meetings help ensure everyone is on the same page, reduces misunderstandings, and promotes a shared understanding of the project goals, processes, and expectations.

A. External Vendor Support: While external vendors might be helpful for certain tasks, they don't address the core need for team cohesion and shared understanding. C. Designated Communicator: Having one person as the sole communicator can create bottlenecks and limit the flow of information. A dispersed team needs multiple communication channels and active participation from all members. D. Defining Work for Dispersed Members: This is important, but it doesn't address the need for building relationships and fostering a sense of shared purpose among the team.

Dispersed does not mean dispersed geographically, I believe.
