When mentioning about the virtual team, it will be related to the internet. Thus, the benefit of the virtual team could be that of the virtual team. The works could be flexible and depend on the everyone's convenience. If the members won't be delay, the this arrangement could make things efficient and spare much time on the traffic. However, the drawbacks could be also the internet's ones. Because we can not see each other in the virtual team, sometimes we cannot know what other members thoughts by just in words. If the project needs large of pictures, it could be more troublesome. Furthermore, when we cannot look at the members, we may doubt that if we are really working together.

The most important point of having a virtual team is the "communication." Though the purpose of the internet is to communicate, if we cannot do it well, we still cannot make it efficient. Therefore, to make cohorts feel more like a team, we have to have a online meeting during a regular time. There should be a flow to let everyone know the goal and the working method. When everyone knows the spirit of this work, that could be a team.

Thinking of my teams I have worked before, the best way to make them effective is the communication. To know everyone's schedule, and solve their problems when they need helps. That could make a team effective and efficient. Of course, working with interests is important, too. When everyone has there goal in the same field, the team could be very powerful.
