E-Lancing

Abstract

Forming teams in a virtual environment is typically an ad hoc process. Usually, project managers draw from talent inside their organizations or from people that they or other team members know from previous interactions. You’re really limited by who you know or by the size of your extended social network. So how do you know that you have formed the strongest team possible with people who have the specific knowledge and experience that your project needs? Ideally, as a project manager, you could advertise the types of skills you are looking for, and people could apply to work on that project based on their availability, expertise, and interest.
