James and Cindy work on the same project. The project is developing a new administration system for a business in a neighbouring town about 60 km away. The project has been experiencing some problems with the users and James is set on the idea that the entire project team should relocate to the business premises to be closer to them and get quicker resolution on project issues. Cindy is vehemently opposed to the idea as it will impact her greatly as she has a small child in day care and it will mean that she gets home really late.
