Abstract:

Increasingly, teams are working together when they are not in the same
location, even though there are many challenges to doing so successfully.
Here we review the latest insights into these matters, guided by a framework
that we have developed during two decades of research on this topic.

This framework organizes a series of factors that we have found to
differentiate between successful and unsuccessful distributed
collaborations. We then review the kinds of technology options that are
available today, focusing more on types of technologies rather than specific
instances. We describe a database of geographically distributed projects we
have studied and introduce the Collaboration Success Wizard, an online tool
for assessing past, present, or planned distributed collaborations. We close
with a set of recommendations for individuals, managers, and those higher in
the organizations who wish to support distance work.  Read More
