Suppose that high team cohesion is critical for this team, whose members will be working on the team for up to six months. The company’s software engineers are located in several cities in North America, as well as three locations in Europe and Asia.

What actions would you take to create a software team that would quickly become highly cohesive, while still maintaining the company’s standards of an inclusive workplace?
