Time as a challenge in virtual work

 


Let’s talk about Time as a challenge in virtual work and how it can be made to work.

Time differences do create advantages and disadvantages.
It is very difficult to schedule meetings and coordinate teams on global level. Time zones do bring many hindrances but an effective plan can be put to use to reduce the project time. Teams can hand off work in progress literally around the clock among the three main economic centres. USA, Asia and Europe. Which can shorten project time by having near around the clock progress.

Nevertheless, real time collaboration is problematic. However, in order to coordinate properly, one group out of any time zone has to work outside normal hours. And also call anytime policy should be enforced.

However, on the personal front, it becomes challenging for the employers to maintain work and life balance.

Even where there are not much of the time differences, it can be difficult to coordinate schedules, tasks and meeting times when a team is virtual.

Here are a few potential negative effects of AI implementation on the IT team: Job Displacement: One of the most significant concerns about AI implementation is the potential for job displacement.
