%X This paper aims to present the result of a study at a major aerospace company about project contextual characteristics and their impact on project organization (e.g. team collocation). In this time of globalization, when the competition is bigger than ever, project success is a crucial goal for organizations. In order to achieve project success many decisions shall be made before the project kick-off. One of these decisions is investigated in this paper: the decision to whether co-locate or not the project team. The paper provides a literature review about team co-location, its advantages and disadvantages, virtual teams and project performance parameters. It is proposed a table to be used as a guide to determine if the projects achieve the success or not. This paper also presents a case study where 3 couples of similar system projects were analysed. In each couple, the first Product Development (PD) has occurred with a co-located team and in the second one has occurred with a virtual team (not co-located team). The project performance parameters were identified using the proposed table.
