Is it just me, or does 'colocate the team' sound like a fancy way of saying 'make them all work in the same room'? Either way, Option D gets my vote too.

Metrics and scorecards are nice, but they don't address the underlying issue of a geographically dispersed team. I agree with Janessa - Option D is the way to go.

A SWOT analysis is always a solid starting point, but I think a repository for documents and artifacts is crucial for remote work. Option B gets my vote.

I see the value in option D, but I also think option B is important. Having a central repository for project documents can ensure that everyone has access to the necessary information, regardless of their time zone.
