5 steps to increase the productivity and success of your virtual project team
Virtual project teams are the quintessential example of a matrix and cross functional team. As a result, risks around geography, culture, communication, and organizational structure present themselves in ways that haven’t done so in the past.
In addition, there is a higher probability with virtual teams for misunderstanding and conflict that hinder their ability to produce and deliver a successful project. It is bad enough that majority of project and initiatives fail to meet their original success criteria, but when you add the additional risks and burdens related to a virtual project it seems doomed to certain failure.
