Abstract

This position paper describes the requirements for facing essential problems of virtual teams. Further, the current deficits of project management tools and collaborative tools are focused. We will describe our opinions on how to solve these problems.

In general, we see an essential necessity in creating a symbiosis between project management tools and collaborative tools, as these two areas are both crucial for virtual project management. Currently, the lack of connection between them significantly decreases the quality of virtual work. Our ideas show new ways of managing virtual work in order to increase the effectiveness of virtual teams and help companies to get their work done over the distance of time and space.
