Abstract

This technical report aimed to describe how the use of daily meetings can mitigate communication barriers in virtual teams of multiple projects. Through participant observation, information about the studied organization was collected. The sources of evidence were constituted through the analysis of documents such as meeting minutes, project schedule and e-mail. The evidence showed that the studied company had to adopt the use of virtual teams due to the social distancing caused by COVID-19. The results achieved by the company by adopting the daily meetings were satisfactory where the communication barriers that were identified were resolved.
