Abstract

CII established the Global Engineering Work Force Research Team to develop a detailed understanding of the critical activities required for successfully implementing a global engineering team. The goal was to develop an implementation tool to address the comprehensive issues involved in establishing successful global virtual engineering teams. A Global Virtual Engineering Team (GVET) is a group of geographically dispersed engineers that needs to overcome: Space and time issues Function and organizational barriers National and cultural differences The final product of the team, the Global Virtual Engineering Team (GVET) Execution Planner (CII Implementation Resource 211-2), provides a vehicle for creating an execution plan to address issues related to organization, scope definition/work sharing, communication, quality, project control, and technology at both the company and project levels. The Planner, which can be used in various phases of a project, also provides a method for capturing and managing specific lessons learned related to each category.
