Selected Answer: D
In a matrix organization, communication can be challenging because team members come from different departments and divisions, and they often have different expertise and jargon. To ensure effective communication, the project manager should plan on transmitting the information in an easily understandable manner. This includes using clear and concise language, avoiding technical jargon and acronyms, and using visual aids such as diagrams and charts when appropriate. It is also important to tailor the message to the audience's needs and interests, so they are more likely to understand and engage with the information.
