Distributed Project Management
Run projects remotely
Integrate global partners
The Challenge: Distributed / Remote Teams
Many projects involve project multiple parties at several locations in different time zones.
Also in the era of home-office, some project member might work remotely to accommodate family requirements or to work after-hours.
Distributed Project Management provides the integration needed for a connected project team.
The Solution: Combine Project Management Basics with IT Solutions
Distributed Project Management consists of two main elements:
Solid project management ground rules and basics as the foundation for successful project execution, and
A project management platform with tools that support the collaboration of distributed teams and task management.
Neither of both elements will serve the needs by its own.
