Abstract :
This work will describe the reasons why virtual teams are used for project delivery. The advantages of using virtual teams and the benefits of virtual teams to the client and the project delivery organisation, i.e., the contractor or consultant will be discussed. The use of virtual project teams for project delivery, especially for international or global projects, has definite advantages and benefits. However, in order to ensure successful project delivery by virtual teams, the prospective project client needs to have a clear understanding of the environment in which the virtual team can succeed and procure the project appropriately.
