Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

A virtual team is also known as a remote team, where every member of the team is working from different geographic locations. Usually, the communication channel is through voice/video conferencing or email.

Each member of the team is given unique roles and these roles are delivered optimally within the specified time frame.

For instance, Malcolm does not meet with other members of the team, yet they are working on a project (a smartphone app to track traffic patterns). Following standards that would have applied if they were working at a specific location.

Thanks to Information and Communication Technology (ICT), virtual jobs are on the increase, providing jobs to a lot of people not minding their geographic location.
