IT Project Management in a Remote Work Environment- Benefits and Challenges
There has been a significant shift towards remote work in recent years, and this trend has only accelerated with the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, IT project management in a remote work environment has become an increasingly relevant topic. This study explored the benefits and challenges of managing IT projects remotely and provided strategies and best practices for overcoming them. While there has been some research on remote work and its impact on the different areas of work, there needs to be more literature on the specific implications of remote work on IT projects. This research addressed how IT project managers have responded to the massive increase in remote work by answering the research questions "How has the increase in remote work impacted IT projects? and How have project managers responded to the increase in remote work?". The research questions were answered by conducting an exploratory case study where data was collected from a semi-structured interview with IT project managers. By addressing the research question through qualitative research using thematic analysis in analyzing the data, the researcher provides new insights and contributes to existing studies. Five themes emerged from the data analysis: communication and collaboration, technological proficiency and infrastructure, team performance and cultural awareness, adaptation and flexibility, and leadership and management. The findings of this study will be helpful for organizations transitioning to a remote work environment and IT project managers looking to improve their skills in managing projects remotely.
