How to manage virtual teams? How to manage quality over distance?
With a remote team that has been entrusted with an assignment or project, how are you
going the check the actual project progress on a regular basis? Or do you trust that
everything will go well until the day of the final delivery? Very often the regular
progress reports are invariably a good news show until the day when something really
needs to be delivered. And then it becomes proclaimed that one still has to put the
last proverbial dots on those i. And the suddenly date of completion is postponed,
first by a few days, then by weeks and sometimes even by months. How can these
situations be prevented?
How do you ensure that a team delivers the quality you want to pay as a customer
when working over distance? Very often you don't have a Plan B when it comes to
outsourcing. And even if you have a Plan-B, you will only run it when the results
are repeatedly disappointing, but then it is often already too late and you have
lost a lot of time and money on producing things that are of no use. A plan B also
usually implies that one has to start over from scratch.
The key to success when working with virtual or remote teams is a good
management of the team over distance and good quality management. PGS offers you
the solution and, together with its customers, ensures that projects with virtual
