# 7 tips for managing your virtual team [cheat sheet]

WRITTEN BYJames Price | JPAbusiness

‘Virtual teams’, ‘virtual resourcing’ and ‘contingent workforce’ are fancy ways of saying **outsourcing**.

They’re modern terms, but their development is based on the very old business adage of **‘do what you do well and rely on others for the rest’.**

Globalisation and technological advances mean small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are increasingly outsourcing to drive efficiencies, but **managing virtual teams also presents its own challenges.**

In the following cheat sheet we have provided 7 tips for managing outsourcing partnerships and virtual teams.
