- ✓ Correct D.Schedule virtual sessions with the specialist to guide the team in completing the activity.
Correct answer: D
Explanation
When a specialist cannot travel on-site due to restrictions for a time-constrained activity, the project manager should schedule virtual sessions with the specialist to guide the team in completing the activity. Virtual collaboration maintains progress within time constraints. Seeking budget for team training (A) takes too long. Referring to lessons learned (B) may not provide the specific expertise needed. Rescheduling until restrictions lift (C) causes unacceptable delay.
