Using regular surveys for real time evaluation of virtual project teams
Using regular surveys for real time evaluation of virtual project teams
Stakeholders:
Objective of approach:
- Early identification of possible problems within virtual teams
- Regular monitoring of virtual teams
Regular project survey supports identification of possible problems within virtual teams. As those teams often do not meet informally (e.g. at the coffee machine) problems concerning motivation, work content, e.g. are harder to identify. Additionally those teams are concerned with other issues like software tools, project planning, etc.. Project survey which are conducted once a week (preferably on fridays) within less than 5 minutes can help to identify problems and help monitoring long-term issues like the acceptance of a certain software tools.
USP:
Avoid dissatisfaction and identify synergy potential within virtual teams.
Resources:
- Online survey tool
- 5 minutes of time from each team member every Friday
Success factors:
- Ability and willingness to participate
