They ask you to prepare a 2-3-page report on the steps you will take to manage the global team and what you would do to ensure that each member of the team understands the project.You have been learning about ITIL management practices and you decide to utilize some of the practices to coordinate the team. Your first task is to identify whether the team fully understands the differences between LAN and WAN implementations and the operation of transmission protocols, equipment and topologies.
