Managing Virtual Teams: Getting the Most from Wikis, Blogs and Other Collaborative Tools
by Katherine M. Brown, Brenda Huettner and Char James-Tanny

Virtual collaborative team environments face unique challenges because their communication is not face-to-face. Managing Virtual Teams: Getting the Most from Wikis, Blogs, and Other Collaborative Tools provides practical advice for managers of distributed teams who must design the internal systems and meet deadlines with a diverse team. It also directly applies to team members who want to develop and maintain better professional relationships.

To address these needs, this book is divided into three parts. Part I discusses team dynamics, project management and development, and forms of communication. Part II covers the types of tools currently available for collaboration such as wikis, blogs, RSS feeds, and more, and describes the different feature sets of each. Part III explains the various features of the book's companion wiki.
