Reader ReviewsBy definition the focus of a project team is the deliverables. It does not matter if the team is collocated or dispersed. That means the focus on cost, risk, change and scope management remains the same. If the team is dispersed, the authors content, the people side of the effort assumes a different cast. Processes and procedures that deal with client satisfaction, vendor satisfaction and team morale become more complex. The authors provide a five-step model to assess the maturity of the team. They describe various methods to motivate different personality types to achieve the best project results. Reliance on virtual teams is growing. If you are attempting to lead one, this book is a must. Its insights, worksheets and assessment tools will save you time, money and aggravation.
