Abstract: Abstract Virtual project teams have become popular across various sectors. Studies indicate that virtual teams offer advantages including additional knowledge creation and skills development. They also provide organizations with wider perspectives when compared to traditionally collocated teams. Utilizing theoretical concepts from virtual teams and project teams, this chapter describes how virtual project teams can be applied for supply chain project management. It highlights the crucial role played by people, processes, and technology in supply chain project management. The chapter justifies the need for supply chain project teams to be well prepared to deliver their projects with effectiveness and proposes certain strategies for attaining resilience.
