ABSTRACT: The study is focused on reviewing some of the key
factors and attributes that support high performing teams, with a view to
determining if they could be ranked altogether in order of importance. This
called for a survey of project team members from diversity to attempt to rank
the attributes and by so doing form a basis of the study conclusion. The survey
used a set of questionnaires (administered to 107 respondents) that is
compatible with qualitative research. This was direct to rank the attributes
from the perspectives of positive and negative impacts of the attributes to
high performing project teams. It was also extended to know to which of
collocated or virtual teams the factors will weigh more. While Trust stands out
as the most important of the attributes, other attributes did not show a
consistent ranking. Thus, it is concluded that the attributes do not have
structured ranking, and therefore could have different levels of importance in
different places. Nevertheless, it was pointed out that virtual project teams
could not have the benefits of the attributes as in a collocated project team
environment.
