プロジェクトを進めるためのチーム編成の方法には, 作業場所を一か所に集約して全員が集まる方法, 作業場所を集約せずにWeb会議やインスタントメッセンジャなどで連絡を取り合う方法などがある。技術者が限られている特殊なプログラム言語を採用したシステム開発プロジェクトの遂行において, 作業場所を一か所に集約する方法と比較して, 集約しない方法の利点のうち, 最も適切なものはどれか。

This question's explanation and your answers so far.
問 32
- ア
正解 When engineers who can handle a special programming language are scarce, the key is how to secure such rare talent. With the non-consolidated method (a remote style where members keep in touch via web conferencing and instant messaging), even people who cannot physically come to a single workplace can take part remotely. Therefore, target engineers under location constraints, such as those who must stay home while raising children or those stationed overseas, can more easily be brought into the project. This is the inherent advantage compared with the consolidated method, so ア is the most appropriate.
Incorrectイ
The ease of holding simple face-to-face meetings is an advantage of the consolidated method that gathers everyone in one place. Under the non-consolidated method, face-to-face contact becomes harder, so this is the opposite and is incorrect.
Incorrectウ
Identifying project risks is an activity carried out in risk management and has nothing to do with whether the workplace is consolidated. It is not an advantage unique to the non-consolidated method, so it is incorrect.
Incorrectエ
Involving the project manager can naturally be done in both the consolidated and the non-consolidated method. Since it holds for either organizing style, it cannot be called an advantage of the non-consolidated method and is incorrect.
- The biggest advantage of a non-consolidated (remote, distributed) team setup is that even scarce talent constrained by location can easily be brought in. It presupposes communication tools such as web conferencing and instant messaging.
- The ease of face-to-face meetings is an advantage on the consolidated method's side. To avoid mixing up each method's pros and cons, organize and memorize the merits unique to each.
