Abstract: Abstract Virtual project teams can bring together the best available experts for a task, irrespective of regional or temporal boundaries. At the same time, the management of virtual project teams poses unique challenges due to restricted opportunities for communication and limited direct face-to-face contact. Using research from work and organizational psychology, this chapter explains the typical problems of virtual project teams and explores concrete strategies for mastering these challenges.
