The Team Charter in essence addresses the overall purpose, project overview, project scope, roles and responsibilities for the GVT collective. These GVT start-up factors are discussed during the creation of the team charter, and must be mutually agreed upon before pursuing virtual closeness in GVTs. Thus, the three important GVT start-up factors of individual contact, contribution interdependence, and role function(s) relatedness complement the key virtual team structures, which include: project management (e.g., work division and ground rules), governance (e.g. dos and don’ts, addressing learning abilities, and decisions through disagreement), and the action plan (e.g., weekly schedules).
