Mostly Virtual

Abstract

In the mostly virtual model, team members are spread around the globe. This model sometimes can evolve slowly. Perhaps a team starts with one or two members working remotely. Then, company reorganizations, mergers, or acquisitions may spark the need for additional geographically distributed team members. Alternatively, we’ve also seen cases where a team was formed to be mostly virtual and distributed from the beginning in order to meet a business need (the PC COC team we mentioned earlier serves as a key example).
