Abstract
Teams are everywhere-and many of them are failing. Using a socio-technical approach, the paper identifies team situations typical to technical communication projects, provides a relational model for understanding varying levels of team commitment, uses this model to offer practical tips for encouraging more effective teams, and briefly discusses how new electronic media are likely to affect team relationships.
