Teamwork is critical to information systems (IS) projects. Since the development of the early mainframe software systems, IS professionals have emphasized the need for effective teamwork when designing and developing complex systems and software. Our IS graduates need to not only know how to draw technical diagrams and write program code, but also need to know how to develop and work in teams. At last year's ISECON conference, Joel Hodes from Ernst and Young talked about the characteristics that they look for in "eGraduates". One of the competencies cited was that an eGraduate must work effectively in teams and collaborate effectively across teams.
