Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The cost of technology is considered a negative aspect of virtual teams because it is likely that more money will be spent on technology with a virtual team. However, many costs can be deferred in a virtual environment by spending less in other project areas, such as work locations (no meeting room rentals). Working with people in different geographic locations is considered a positive aspect of virtual teams because you are not limited to only qualified staff in one local area. Having team members with various shifts and hours is considered a positive aspect of virtual teams because it allows people to be available online when you need them. Including team members with mobility limitations or disabilities is considered a positive aspect of virtual teams because inclusivity and diversity make the team stronger. PRM9.3.101Discussion
