“…The correct meeting frequency must be determined based on the configuration of virtual group communication, such as team size and project length (daily, weekly). "The use of "sprints" (short iterative cycles) and "daily scrums" (daily meetings to discuss assignments and roadblocks) are important project strategies" (Lumseyfai, 2020). These methods can be used in virtual group collaboration to produce positive results such as increased visibility, improved communication, and ongoing participation/feedback from stakeholders (Nevo & Chengalur-Smith, 2011).…”

The concept of the virtual teams is getting popularized all over the world to connect different skilled professional on a single forum to achieve a common goal. To get maximum of the benefits of the virtual teams, it is essential to understand the associate problems and the factors which affect the virtual team performance. This paper uncovered several factors in the major domains of the communication competency, cultural intelligence, and knowledge sharing and collaboration parameters affecting virtual team performance in UAE. Collection of the data focused on recording the perception of the MNC employees in UAE where 318 valid data samples were gathered and analyzed for Mean value and standard deviation. The analysis results revealed that all the parameters have high level relation with virtual team performance. These finding can be helpful for preparing effective strategies to improve the communication system and maximize the performance of the virtual teams.

“…While robust and objective metricbased frameworks for measuring teamwork performance are scarce, anecdotal evidence would suggest that a number of factors can be used to measure relative performance of teams. These include factors such as financial performance, schedule performance, quality performance and stakeholder satisfaction [4]. While financial and schedule success are quantifiable at various stages in a team's timeline, quality and stakeholder satisfaction present a somewhat more qualitative and more difficult to assess view of a team's performance.…”

“…Therefore, methods for teaching engineering teamwork can vary significantly between educators. While many of the skills required for in person teamwork are transferable to virtual teams, some skills require additional attention, including trust, communication, collaboration, motivation, and team cohesion [4]. Moreover, most teamwork skill development methods or activities are designed for in-person teambased learning, making their use in a virtual environment difficult or impossible.…”

Teamwork plays a key role in engineering due to the complexity and skill requirements of modern engineering projects. For this reason, emphasis is placed on the development of teamwork skills in most engineering education programs across Canada. In most cases, teamwork scaffolding and training occurs in person using team-based projects or experiential activities. Unfortunately, virtual teaching environments make a good deal of traditional teamwork training activities difficult to implement. This paper explores methods that have been shown to be successful in teaching teamwork skills to engineering students, taking into account the particular challenges faced in technical environments. Unique implementations of these methods for virtual learning environments are discussed, and additional challenges created by virtual teamwork are also examined in relation to these methods. Finally, a strategy for proving experiential learning activities based on “paper challenges” is described and a new virtual learning environment that allows students, working in teams, to learn teamwork skills and simulate real-world team-based challenges synchronously over the web is presented.

“…They also help them keep a work-life balance and care about their well-being [15]. In addition, according to Lumseyfai [16], virtual team leaders should know four main subjects in order to be a good virtual team leader, which are "governance methodology, human interaction, technology management and organizational environment".…”

Increasing global operations of companies and advances in communication technologies in the last two decades have led companies to create virtual team, in which employees work more productively and cost-effectively from different locations. This situation required virtual team leaders to have a different perspective and management approach than the leaders who manage teams in the usual offices. Performance management is one of the vital tasks of virtual team leaders and is a multidimensional research topic for researchers interested in virtual team management. Knowing the determinants of performance will be useful in quality decision-making, problem-solving, and many other managerial processes. This research aims to explore major factors affecting virtual team performance by using a systematic literature review methodology that includes more than one hundred scientific articles. Findings of this study suggest that these factors are leadership, communication, collaboration, cohesion, commitment, conflict, interpersonal relations, knowledge sharing, feedback, trust, diversity, recognition, and empowerment.
