Which category includes functional teams, management teams, self-managed teams, and virtual teams?

• A. Functional Teams
• B. Management Teams
• C. Self-Managed Teams
• D. Types of Teams

Answer: (D)

Think about how organizations classify the different ways teams are formed. Types of teams is the broad category that includes every distinct form—functional teams, management teams, self-managed teams, and virtual teams. Each of these is a specific example of a team type, defined by how members are grouped and how they work together. Functional teams bring people together by function or department. Management teams focus on overseeing operations and making coordinated decisions. Self-managed teams operate with autonomy to plan and execute work themselves. Virtual teams collaborate across locations using technology. Because all of these are different ways teams can be categorized, the umbrella category that includes them all is Types of Teams.
