The purpose of this study was to investigate how the communication takes form in virtual teams, to see how the members of these teams experience the communication to work, and to compare the group development with non-virtual teams.The theoretical framework was based onTuckman’s group development model. The approach of the study was qualitative and the data collected by e-questionnaires. In the study participated nine individuals that work in virtual teams. Some of the participants worked in the same team, and the rest in different teams. The result showed that ways to communicate in virtual teams are very varying and that the members of the teams were satisfied with how the teams work. The negative parts of working in virtual teams were the lack of face-to-face communication and moments when the technology did not work. Similar processes that defines Tuckman’s group development model were found in the virtual teams.
