Virtual Team Challenges & Opportunities Paper

Overview and Rationale:
Most of us who have engaged in project work in a professional setting have been part of a virtual team. Maybe not an entirely virtual team, but we have most likely engaged with a team that includes some aspect of virtual work. Most likely, we have done this without even thinking about it, as the technology we employ on a daily basis allows us to seamlessly engage in this virtual manner.
