A project manager schedules virtual daily standup meetings for a project, but half of the team members regularly join late or miss the meeting all together.What should the project manager do?

While seeking advice from senior management may provide valuable insights, it does not directly address the immediate issue of team attendance. The project manager is in the best position to resolve team dynamics and should focus on implementing solutions that involve direct communication with the team rather than escalating the issue unnecessarily.

Rescheduling the meetings may provide a temporary fix, but it does not tackle the underlying issue of team members’ commitment to attending. Changing the meeting time without addressing attendance expectations may lead to similar problems in the future, as it does not promote accountability or responsibility among team members.

While one-to-one meetings can be effective for specific discussions, they do not support team cohesion or collective decision-making. The daily standup format is designed to encourage collaboration and quick updates among all team members, and shifting to one-on-one meetings could hinder the overall team dynamics and communication flow.
