A Framework for Effective Project Management in Remote Teams: Tools, Techniques, and Best Practices for Success
Abstract
The move towards remote work has transformed the project management environment, presenting new challenges and opportunities for organisations that can operate in a dynamic environment. Traditional models created by co-located teams often fail to accurately reflect the dynamics of virtual collaboration, including the dependence on digital tools, cultural diversity, and the urgent need for trust-building. This paper proposes a conceptual model that enhances the performance of remote team project management by integrating four interdependent constructs: processes, tools, techniques, and best practices. The framework is inspired by well-known theories, including Agile, Lean, Communication Theory, Media Richness Theory, and Virtual Team Theory, which are adapted to the realities of dispersed work. The processes of project management provide program structure, collaboration facilitation tools, task execution methods, and best practices that take care of human and cultural aspects. These constructs are interlinked, which guarantees the complex approach to providing a balance between technical efficiency and interpersonal effectiveness. The paper identifies the theoretical value of expanding the project management discourse to the virtual. It offers practical advice for managers on how to navigate dispersed collaboration and the organisational consequences of it in terms of policy and standardisation. The framework provides a versatile and adaptable framework that can assist researchers and practitioners in maximizing the performance of projects in the ever-digitizing world by filling gaps in traditional models.
