Virtual Team Communication: Episode 3

In part three of the Cadence Podcast Series, "Virtual Team Communication", Connie Plowman discusses the real and tangible problems when working with team members across different time zones. "It's something that's there, we can't change it," explains Plowman. "Unfortunately it's something we have to work with as a virtual team. We'll rarely have everyone in the same time zone, even in the same country." Plowman outlines the key components to establishing a solid relationship with virtual team members across time zones, from dealing with complicated daily scheduling constraints to recognizing when it's worth the effort -- and the expense -- to bring all team members across time zones for face to face meetings to accelerate project results.
