Virtual Software Teams

In today's global economy, organizations now rely on Virtual Teams. These Internet-based teams, or NetTeams work across time, space and organizational boundaries on a wide range of projects, and are depenent on technology to help the team work together.

Virtual Software Teams come in many different forms, and include project and product managers, business analysts, architects, designers, engineers, testers, clients, tech support, and even executives. They are employees, contractors, clients, vendors, and outsourced resources.

To work together effectively, it is critical that Virtual Teams have a common, online workspace that supports the complex communication, data analysis and management challenges associated with building software in a virtual world.
