Project Management
As we are about to develop a new tool then it will be very useful to get your opinion about Virtual Projects. How can a PM Tool be more useful to your virtual projects? You can answer the survey here
PM is the discipline of planning, organizing and managing resources to bring about the successful completion of specific project goals and objectives. VPM is attempting the same, except all project team members are not physically in a single location, possibly spanning different states and/or countries. VPM is the art of bringing together many diverse people to work towards a common shared goal. Project members can now be organizationally disbursed across the globe and come together as knowledge workers to complete the tasks.
In my personal believe, Virtual Project Management is an evolution of Project Management that became possible thanks to the Internet and the huge evolution on collaboration tools, As PM demands process, VPM demands tools to simplify collaboration and organize the processes. Communication online can be simple with Skype, tools like baseCamp are useful to manage local projects but are critical on Virtual Projects.
The survey is published on http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dEhTN0xsd0pCV0Y3S19TZTNDUW55Z3c6MQ&theme=0AX42CRMsmRFbUy04NmYzYTk2OC1hYzhjLTQ1NTAtOTRiNS0zZWI4YWM2MmI4Njk&ifq
