According to the PMBOK Guide, building trust is one of the intangible stakeholder engagement qualities that project managers should embrace to manage relationships with stakeholders. Building trust means establishing and maintaining a positive and respectful relationship with stakeholders based on honesty, transparency, reliability, and mutual understanding. By allowing team members to attend the weekly progress meeting either from home or the office, the project manager is demonstrating trust in their ability to work effectively and communicate clearly regardless of their location. This can also enhance the team members' trust in the project manager and their commitment to the project objectives.

Sharing positive feedback from the customer with the project team is a good way to motivate and appreciate the team members for their work. It also helps to build trust and rapport between the project manager and the team, as well as the customer and the team. Following the meeting agenda and making a list of the next deliverables are important tasks, but they do not address the customer feedback. Documenting the feedback in the meeting minutes is not enough to acknowledge the team's efforts and achievements. Starting to plan how to improve the dates of next deliverables is not relevant to the customer feedback and may imply that the project manager is not satisfied with the team's performance.

In a large matrix organization, effective communication is crucial, especially when it involves coordinating with specialists from various departments and divisions. The project manager should focus on the recipients' needs to ensure that the communication is relevant and meaningful to them. This approach enhances the effectiveness of communication by ensuring that the information provided is not only understood but also actionable and pertinent to the recipients' roles and responsibilities within the project1.
The information is aligned with the best practices for communication in a matrix organization as described in PMBOK and other project management literature, such as the importance of tailoring communication to the specific needs of the recipients and ensuring appropriate distribution of key communications231.
