Due to unforeseen circumstances, a contractor was unable to mobilize the project team, which was necessary to conduct face-to-face meetings and discussions. Virtual meetings were subsequently put in place, but the local project team and end users now face a communication gap that is causing the team's low performance. What should the project manager do?
1) Implement key performance indicators (KPIs) and convince the contractor to engage the team.
2) Reassess continually to remove blockers for the team.
3) Terminate the contract and initiate a new one with a local contractor.
4) Ask the contractor to solve this problem because this is a contractual obligation.
