Résumé

Virtual project management techniques of today's global leaders, and how they can be implemented in your organization

In an increasingly budget-conscious business arena, downsizing and outsourcing have become the new facts of life. A company's employees must be able to work together as if they shared an office--even when they are in different facilities, cities, or even continents.

Managing Virtual Projects shows project managers how to overcome geographic distances, cultural diversity, and time zone disparities to make the new global workplace a competitive advantage instead of an obstacle. Sidestepping theory and guesswork to provide a practical, hands-on portrait of virtual project management (VPM) and electronic project management (ePM) in action, this timely book provides project managers with the knowledge and tools they need to:

Structure VPM teams and adapt PERT, CPM, and other conventional techniques for VPM success
Implement proven VPM tools and procedures to control project and collaboration quality
Leverage environment, expertise, and technology to develop a VPM focused office

Unlike the old days, it's no longer the big companies that eat the small; it's the fast that eat the slow. And the fast are on a 24-hour workday. Managing Virtual Projects reveals everything the new breed of project managers must know to help their organizations become leaders in this new multinational and multicultural, yet one-world, environment.
