As a project manager, you need to quickly inform your team members about an urgent change in the meeting location. The team is currently dispersed, and you are unsure if they have access to email. Which communication method is the most effective to reach them promptly?
Make phone calls to each team member individually.
Send an email to all team members with the new meeting location.
Send a text message to the team members' mobile devices.
Post the update on the company's internal collaboration platform.
Sending a text message to team members' mobile devices is the most effective method in this scenario. SMS (Short Message Service) allows for quick, direct communication that team members can receive immediately on their phones, regardless of location. Since the team is dispersed and may not have access to email or the internal collaboration platform, those methods may not ensure timely receipt of the message. Making phone calls to each team member individually could be time-consuming and inefficient in an urgent situation. Therefore, SMS is the best option for promptly reaching the team.
