Session: Building Healthy Online Teams

Working on projects with other people can be hard. Working virtually on these projects can make it even harder. However, there is hope! In this session participants will learn how to ensure everyone working on a project is working together to make awesome things happen. Having an understanding of virtual teams and how they work is imperative to building a great project team.  Practical tools will be given on how to utilize technology to open lines of communication, what to do when things aren’t go well on your  project, and what you can do to “get the job done.”
