Themes and theories for working in virtual project teams
Introduction

In this unit, you will study collaboration in virtual teams by examining two main themes: teams and technology.
This unit will cover the basics of project management life cycles, and theories about how teams and groups behave. It will also introduce the skills of systems thinking and reflective practice.
This unit is from our archive and is an adapted extract from Working in virtual project teams (M891) which is no longer taught by The Open University.
