2. Introduction
• In Project Management we can find different
types of projects
Depending on the organization itself
The location involved in the project
• Global project managers are involved in what is
called a distributed project, as well as
international or virtual projects
Involving team members in many locations
3. Theoretical Framework
• Different challenges in international/distributed
projects.
Number of locations
Different organizations
Countries Culture
Times Zones
Language Barrier
Technology
4. Theoretical Framework
• The Global PM framework addresses the
common challenges of the international,
distributed and virtual projects being committed
to global projects.
• This category can be defined as a grouping of
virtual and international projects, which include
people from different organizations working in
different countries across the world.
5. Statement of the Problem
• Communication is important for a project
team, they must agree on the problem
The confusion or problem can cause uncertainty and
personnel will be unsure of the purpose
• All projects will have issues or problems that
must overcome in order to produce the final
product.
• Several strategies will be required to be used for
the solution
6. Purpose of the Study
• The purpose of this study is understanding what
project managers do to work together when it
comes to a global project.
• The tools that are in place for virtualization of
these projects.
• Making the project managers indispensable for
business results
7. Research design
• This study would be a quasi-experimental design
because with the research design the researcher
will be able to target different group in different
organizations.
• The experimental design will allow the
researcher to test different types of tools in the
global region to view where the issue or problem
comes into step in the project.
8. Data Collection
• The data will be collected will be based on
various project managers based on the type of
project
• An electronic survey will be send out due to the
capability and flexibility based on the times
zones.
• There will be several virtual based forums to be
able to complied the information needed for the
data.
9. Hypothesis and the Results
• Projects going through an organized evaluation and
management process and connected decision-
making steps would perform better than projects
that do not.
Develop and deploy a questionnaire and interview guide
Conduct a series of workshops with the representative of
the organization
Based on the input, develop an international project risk
tool that would target the project management staff that
would identify economic, cultural, experience and
technical area.
