This blog is a collection of profiles of successful virtual business owners and professionals who work with virtual teams on project management and group process. Most of the businesses I profile are based in the Boston area. Virtual-Team-Success is a repository for the research I am doing for an article I am writing for the QRCA VIEWS magazine, a market research journal. My article will be an overview of what I learned through 20+- conversations I'm having with people who have a hands-on knowledge of how to make virtual teams work. Over a dozen of these interviews are profiled on this blog.

As I talk with each person, here are the areas we cover: * major challenges of working with people you do not have the chance to meet "in the flesh" * how to structure communication in the virtual work world * issues such as keeping everyone in alignment in terms of information * the importance of trust among people who seldom meet in person - how you build and maintain it * getting to know people you never meet physically * technology tools that support communication, keeping everyone "on the same page", and up to date on project status * picking the right people for a virtual team * building credibility for your group so you can pitch business (projecting a united front) * dealing with client politics on virtual projects * in general, handling an end-to-end project where much of the work is done virtually If you have experience either working in or running a virtual team, please take a look at these stories (kept concise!) and contribute your reaction. If you would like to talk with me about your experience, and then contribute a summary of our conversation to this blog, you can reach me directly at Kay@UsabilityResources.net.
