5. #4 You require everyone to keep the same office
hours, regardless of location or position.
Tip:
Let your virtual team
members adjust their work
hours to their energy flow and
outside of work responsibilities
for increased productivity.

6. #5 You don’t have a shared
virtual “water cooler”.
Tip:
Use an online communication tool
that enables the entire team to
share conversation and ideas--
regardless of when/where
inspiration strikes.

Centralize the team’s key
documents and other files in a
shared online folder to avoid
version control and mailbox
overflow.

8. #7 In fact, email is your primary
project management tool.
Tip:
Email is great for 1:1
communication, but doesn’t
match the capabilities of a
collaboration and project
management platform.
