WHAT IS TEAM ?

A team is any group of people organized to work together


interdependently and cooperatively to meet the needs of their customers
by accomplishing a purpose and goals. Teams are created for both long
term and short term interaction. A product development team, an
executive leadership team, and a departmental team are long lasting
planning and operational groups. Short term teams might include a team
to develop an employee onboarding process, a team to plan the annual
company party, or a team to respond to a specific customer problem or
complaint.

TYPES OF TEAMS

Problem solving teams


Self-managing teams
Cross-functional teams
Virtual teams

PROBLEM SOLVING TEAMS


A

group of individuals assembled to work


on a project that involves resolving one or
more issues that have already arisen. In a
business context, a problem solving team
will typically be formed for a limited time
frame incorporating staff from different
organizational levels with various relevant
skills sets

SELF-MANAGED TEAM
self-organized

or
semi-autonomous
small group of employees whose members
determine, plan, and manage their day-today activities and duties under reduced or
no supervision. Also called self directed
team or self-managed natural work team.

CROSS-FUNCTIONAL TEAMS
The

most simple definition of cross-functional teams


(or CFTs) is groups that are made up of people from
different functional areas within a company
marketing, engineering, sales, and human resources,
for example. These teams take many forms, but they
are most often set up as working groups that are
designed to make decisions at a lower level than is
customary in a given company. They can be either a
company's primary form of organizational structure,
or they can exist in addition to the company's main
hierarchical structure.

VIRTUAL TEAM
A virtual

team (also known as a


geographically dispersed team, distributed
team, or remote team) is a group of
individuals who work across time, space
and organizational boundaries with links
strengthened by webs of communication
technology.
