Transcender :: Question of the Day

Information gathering and retrieval systems are not a method of information distribution. Information gathering and retrieval systems are used in the Information Distribution process to collect, store, and retrieve project-related information, but not to disseminate it.

All of the other options are incorrect because a networked electronic database, a project intranet, and video conferencing are all information distribution methods. Information distribution methods include ways in which information can be distributed to the project stakeholders. According to the PMBOK, other information distribution methods include, but are not limited to, meetings, hardcopy reporting, e-mail, fax communications, voice mail, and manual filing systems.
