VTC paper

Project 1 – Personal Project

The Personal Project provides you with an opportunity to critically examine the organizational factors and individual practices that contribute to successful virtual team collaboration (VTC). You are encouraged to choose an example of VTC that is relevant to your real world organizational experience so that you can directly apply the knowledge and insights gained through this project to your professional work. Knowledge and insights gained through the Personal Project will aid in designing a compelling and practical presentation on VTC for the Team Project.

Include the following in your Personal Project:

• Choose an example of virtual team collaboration (VTC) either from a prior work experience or from your current work environment. Your choice of VTC should represent a situation where members need to work interdependently with the aid of some form of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). If you do not have an example you can draw upon for this project, please communicate directly with the instructors. Project 1 – Personal Project
