And there were several reasons illustrated for these high claim severity. One, implant dentistry is reallu expensive and costs patients anywhere from $5,000 to $40,000. Second, the patients usually have high functional…[Read more]

I agree with everyone regarding working in the team and using the Work Breakdown Structure(WBS) for assigning the work to the team members. There are few more points i would like to add to the discussion:

One major difference between a virtual team over real industry team is that the team members can pitch in at their own comfortable timings. So usually its the two or three members at a time who will be discussing the new ideas instead of all of them present at the same time and trying to be audible to each other as it happens in the face to face…[Read more]
