In the face of travel restrictions, the project manager should encourage team members to continue their work independently while exploring needs and alternatives. This approach aligns with the PMBOK Guide's emphasis on project communications management, which includes ensuring that there is an effective plan to communicate project information to stakeholders and team members to achieve project objectives1. It also reflects the PMP's focus on adaptive project environments where project teams must be able to respond to changes and continue to work towards project goals2.
