Project Organization Most IT Projects usually last 6 to 18 months. Project teams are formed, trained, the project is completed and then the team is dissolved. We refer to this process as the Virtual IT Team. Virtual IT Teams offer certain benefits to companies and staff.
Companies gain resources to use in critical functions.
Staff is cross-trained and get an opportunity to work on different applications, technologies and business functions. The virtual teams have different characteristics from traditional organization staffs. Opportunities can be both pursued or offered based on specific project talent and expertise required. Organizations are urged to maintain a Project Resource Tracking Database where individuals' expertise and interests are maintained. This permits smooth transitions between projects and promotes organization identification and goodwill.
