Maximizing Virtual Tools*

Today, a majority of our communication is mediated by technology, which of course is definitely true when working within a virtual team. As you know, when you work virtually, technology is an integrated part of getting work done, including how we talk to and interact with each other. Therefore, it’s essential you and your team clearly know what technology is available to you, as well as know how to use it. Of course actually using it is helpful too. As a leader, your role in the use of technology is essential. As Wayne mentioned in the Introduction video, the number one reason technology is successfully adopted or not, is due to whether the team’s leader actively uses the technology. So what you do matters, and it matters a lot. By completing this course, you will increase your ability to use the tools available to manage others remotely. This course has been approved for 1 hour of PDU credit from PMI (Project Management Institute).
