Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A skunkworks is a term used to describe an informal, cross-functional team that emerges spontaneously for product development purposes. It typically operates autonomously and outside of the normal organizational structure. Task forces, committees, virtual teams and self-directed teams are all types of team structures, but they do not necessarily imply the spontaneous emergence and informal nature of a skunkworks.
