Editorial Reviews

Review
In her book With Managing Without Walls, Colleen Garton has managed to include the complete A to Z of managing virtual teams. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn more about managing remote workers. The approach is practical and down-to-earth, and it contains tips, solutions, how to's guides, checklists etc. for managing your virtual workforce and teams. -- Bob Fortier, President, Canadian Telework Association

Review

"I really loved this book! If you manage remote or satellite teams, this book is a must read."  —MC iTechnology Manager

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Read, January 31, 2007
By Carla "Carla" (Portland, Oregon) - See all my reviews
A must read for anybody who manages remote team members. There are lots of books out there for the telecommuter but it is so hard to find information on how to manage telecommuters. This book is fantastic. It not only fills a huge knowledge gap, it does it with incredible clarity, insight and in an easy-to-read writing style. I cannot say enough good things about this book. It gives a whole different perspective on the differences betwen the various types of virtual environments and the challenges associated with each. The author does an excellent job of describing a situation, explaining what happens, why it happens , what the manager could do differently and includes excellent examples to help drive the point home. I have been managing virtual team members for a couple of years. Not all my team members work remotely and I fell into the trap of managing local team members and practically ignoring the remote ones. My remote team members now are happier each week as I implement more and more of the great ideas in this book. A must read for anyone managing team members long distance.

5.0 out of 5 stars So You've Been Handed this Team Project, February 18, 2007
One indication that a concept's time has come is the addition to Micosoft's product line of software to facilitate that concept. Such is the case with Microsoft's Visual Studio 2005 Team System. Here is a simple to get project developent package oriented to software design, development, testing by people scattered among work groups around the world.

This book, however, carries on with the managerial side of team development rather than the mechanics of how the software works. The managerial side has to handle mundane problems like language, time zone changes, cultural differences, and of course communications when you can't call a meeting and get everyone into the same room.

There are other books available that discuss the pros and cons of outsourcing things like software development. Again that's not this book. This book presumes that the decisions have been made and it's now up to you to get the job done.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bridging the Gap, January 29, 2007
By J. Vanhorne (San Jose, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I've worked on both sides of the wall, as the virtual manager and the virtual employee. This book gives great insights on how to make this work. The examples and analogies in the book are excellent and easy to apply to real world situations. I especially liked the information on communication styles and how different people react and interact to each other.

This book contains a lot of information about things that might not occur to you that you need to know about managing or working virtually.

I found the book extremely simple-minded and not at all useful. It seems like a simple listing of common sense items, with no real insight into the process.
