Remote airport operations digital ART PI Planning has no tested video, breakout, or collaboration tools. What should the RTE do in preparation?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Multi-site airport planning without a dry run is like opening a new control tower with untested radios. When video, breakouts, or boards fail, half the ART is a spectator. Rehearse the tooling before the event so every location can actually plan.
Full Explanation
Distributed PI Planning succeeds only when every site can see, speak, and plan in real time, so rehearsing and confirming remote collaboration tooling is a logistics-readiness item the RTE owns in preparation. For a remote airport operations digital ART with untested video, breakouts, or boards, discovering failure during Day 1 wastes the timebox and turns remote planners into spectators. Canceling PI Planning and emailing a Gantt chart from the operations desk abandons ART planning and replaces collaborative commitment with a schedule artifact. Requiring travel the morning of Day 1 without a tooling rehearsal neither validates remote participation nor respects multi-site constraints. Trusting that opening remarks will surface tool failures in time fails because remediation inside the event consumes planning capacity and often leaves half the ART offline for draft plans, ROAM, and the confidence vote. Exam caveat: a successful dry run does not eliminate the need for a documented backup channel and facilitator who can escalate connectivity issues during the event. Operational check: run a timed rehearsal with each site joining video, a breakout, and the program board; record pass/fail and fix blockers before Day 1.
