Abstract

The global product development is done by global teams being physical, Virtual Teams or blend in-between. Millennials are the new engineers and designers that conform Virtual Teams. Virtual Teams members interact through various electronic media. Even the social collaboration platforms such as Facebook, Skype, Whatsapp, etc are software tools or apps designed to enable social interaction of a group of people; these tools facilitate communication, transfer and share images, videos and files, organize events or meetings. Furthermore these tools are available in smartphones, tablets and/or personal computers in many different operating systems, so they are well known for Millennials generation. This article presents case studies of global projects where social collaboration platforms solve the communication constraints between students from different countries generating good results.
