Explanation
When launching a virtual team, two foundational actions stand out. Identifying resource types and quantities per work package (C) is essential planning that determines who and what is needed before the team begins. Establishing upfront how progress will be monitored and how the team will communicate (D) is especially critical for virtual teams, where geographic/time-zone separation makes structured communication protocols vital for cohesion. The other options-while potentially useful-are either too operational (A, E) or personal/reflective rather than structural launch activities (B).
