Managing A Virtual Team
Mar 26th
Airline tickets are expensive, delays within airports are becoming an issue with project schedules, and the overall cost of business travel is becoming a lower priority within organization. Sound familiar? As more and more companies are looking to save costs by restricting travel for employees and consultants, organizations are looking for new methods to manage employees, deliverables, and entire projects.
Virtual teams for projects are more likely to be on your instant messaging list than on your building floor plan so properly managing them becomes critical.

Studies and surveys on the adoption rate of Agile development vary widely, but results are trending upward for software companies within their internal engineering departments.
