Document Summary
They can be used interchangeably but there are differences. Synergy interactions between members that creates an output greater than adding up individual performance. Problem solving- team brought together to deal with a specific issue. Cross functional- bring members from different functional areas to solve a problem. Virtual- use technology to bring members together from different physical locations. Same time and resources to get everyone together. Team members tend to not be as satisfied. Self managed can be any type of team (problem solving, cross functional, virtual). Five stage model of team development: forming, team is just getting together.
