Ricardo shows that technology is a major enabler for the project manager in this task and that the leadership style of the project manager while managing a virtual team is quite different from leading a face-to-face team.

Olá Ricardo
acredito e estou iniciando uma pesquisa sobre trabalho remoto. Na empresa que eu dirijo estamos estruturando os processos, a metodologia de gestão e tecnologias para que a partir de 2011 consigamos a fazer as primeiras experiências.
Você tem alguma pesquisa ou indicação de bibiliografias que possam me ajudar?
Abraços e parabéns pela ótima fala.
Rita
Tem um livro excelente do PMI. Acesse http://www.pmi.org/Marketplace/Pages/ProductDetail.aspx?GMProduct=00101082401.
Espero ter ajudado. Abs.
Ricardo,
Muito boa a sua colocação dos pontos importantes a serem considerados quando se trabalha com times virtuais. Principalmente com times remotos em outros países.
Olá Ricardo!
Bom, dificilmente alguma tradução é realmente boa, mas vou perguntar mesmo assim: Você conhece alguma boa tradução desse livro? Este é o tema do TCC do meu grupo e estamos muito interessados, mas nem todos por enquanto têm facilidade com o inglês.
Show de bola este assunto.
Trabalhei Home Office durante um bom período em Brasília, como analista de sistemas e programador de sistemas Web para o governo. Além de todas as dicas excelentes, se o profissional não seguir uma boa disciplina e encarar com seriedade o trabalho pode ser frustrante. Graças a Deus me dei muito bem neste trabalho e sinto até saudade. Um fato importante é a intensificação da tecnologia e da forma mais diversificada possível, aumentando a comunicação e a produtividade.
Parabéns pelo podcast Ricardo Vargas.
Um grande abraço.
Trabalhei muitos anos gerenciando equipes à distancia, acredito que o Brasil tem evoluindo nesta área, devido o acesso à internet estar tornando-se cada vez mais acessível e em uma velocidade cada vez maior e estável, mas, temos inúmeras outras plataformas que facilitam o trabalho à distancia como vídeo-conferencias via telefone (é isso mesmo, sem internet com áudio e som ).
Dentre as diversas questões acredito que o empenho do gerente de projetos é muito maior, pois, ele deve acompanhar o andamento dos projetos de forma mais coordenada e precisa, em outro item, a equipe deve ser extremamente comprometida com o projeto, ou seja, buscar pessoas que tenham um nível de amadurecimento profissional maior, assim, buscando diminuir os riscos e garantindo os resultados.

Oi Ricardo, excelente material! Meu TCC tb terá uma parte de times virtuais, mas esse link que voce indicou já nao esta mais disponível. Voce tem o nome? Ou outro material para indicar?
Renata, acho que o livro que o Ricardo comentou foi este: http://marketplace.pmi.org/Pages/ProductDetail.aspx?GMProduct=00101186801
Há outras opções também, além do livro, em: http://search.pmi.org/?q=virtual+teams
