Government Adoption of Open Source
Community Source Teams Are groups of
individuals representing very different areas of
functional and geographical expertise, working
interdependently on a task and do not necessarily
meet face-to-face.

Community Source Teams
Responsible for
Performance. High performance work as measured
by faster, better responses to rapidly changing
environments and input.
Intensive Team Leads. Communication-intensive
leadership that check in on their members
frequently, mentor them, establish and
communicate team norms and continuously monitor
adherence to norms and adjust them as frequently
as required.
Team Diversity. Recognizing diversity early in
the teams life cycle and leveraging it
throughout the collaborative process.
Trust. Building trust through a planned team
communication strategy and frequent in-process,
team-tuning sessions (without necessarily ever
meeting face-to-face).
Sub-teams. Build trust and simulate intellectual
growth by pairing diverse members into sub-teams
that perform highly interdependent tasks that
build integrated products and services.
Brainstorming. Giving team members more time for
reflection to produce quality ideas.
Team Connectedness. The joint use of real-time
synchronous (blogs, vlogs, wikis, audio
conferencing, electronic white-boarding,
application-sharing and instant messaging) and
persisting asynchronous communication (living
virtual team rooms with document repositories and
electronic discussion boards) enables community
source teams to coordinate and collaborate across
space and time.
