Examine the team's virtual needs. Even though the team is in the same time zone, there could be virtual collaboration challenges, such as inadequate tools, communication issues, or lack of access to necessary resources. Understanding the team's virtual collaboration needs will help the project manager identify and address the actual barriers to effective teamwork. The other options focus on potential solutions (A), team rule violations (C), or performance (D) but don't directly address the underlying virtual collaboration issue. Therefore, examining the team's virtual needs is a logical first step to diagnose the problem.

In this situation, the project manager should choose: B. Examine the team's virtual needs. Reasoning: Understanding Collaboration Barriers: By examining the team's virtual needs, the project manager can identify specific issues that are hindering collaboration, such as technology limitations, communication tools, or individual work preferences. Tailoring Solutions: This approach allows the project manager to tailor solutions to improve collaboration, such as adjusting meeting formats, providing necessary tools, or creating more flexible communication channels. Holistic View: It helps to take a holistic view of the team's dynamics and identify any underlying factors contributing to the concerns about collaboration. Options A, C, and D may address symptoms but do not directly focus on understanding and resolving the root causes of the collaboration issues.

B The project manager should gather more information by directly communicating with the remote team members to understand their specific challenges and constraints. They should also facilitate discussions within the team to identify any underlying issues that may be affecting collaboration. Finding a solution that accommodates the needs of all team members is essential for effective collaboration. Adigun
