Types and terminology of remote project teams

Abstract

Purpose – to develop project management terminology.
 Findings. This study indicates thе significant changes that occurred in working conditions in the last centuries that led to the new models' formation of employee interaction at enterprises, especially remotely, such as distributed, virtual, and dispersed project teams. Clarification of the terminology of project management indicates the meaning of the term "distributed team". This paper separated the term from several related concepts and demonstrated the benefits of integrating distributed project teams within an enterprise.
 Originality/Value. Paper analyzes the term, features and differences of the distributed project team from other types of remote teams. Practical implications. The terminology of remote project team can beused by project managers from a theoretical point of view.
 Research limitations/Future research. Future research can focus on the way to manage a distributed project team effectively.
 Paper type – theoretical.

Knowledge Creation for Digital Innovation in Malaysia: Practitioners’ Standpoint

“…Evidence from the litereature revealed that transactive memory systems (TMS), IT support (ITS), team learning (TL), team collaboration (TC) and T-shaped skills (TSS) are critical factors in IT projects in creating new knowledge and producing larger benefits for the organisations [44][45][46][47]. When social interaction with a team is reduced, IT project managers face a "who knows what" conundrum due to a lack of TMS to recognise team knowledge when there is a need to react to crises, situations, continual change and problem solving [44,48]. The transactive memory systems, IT support, team learning, team collaboration and T-shaped skills are defined as follows: a.…”

“…For effective remote project teams, IT project managers must broaden their knowledge in order to facilitate project implementation while making the best use of their strengths [54]. Evidence from the studies revealed that project managers lack team learning in order to obtain the information required to manage projects, deal with obstacles during a crisis and establish competitive advantages [42,44,48]. e.…”

“…Previous research has demonstrated that T-shaped skills have positive effect on KC [48,49]. T-shaped skills are extremely valuable for KC due to their capacity to mix multiple knowledge resources [63].…”

Impact of Digitalization on the Management of Innovative Projects

“…Various aspects of the digitalization of the economy and its impact on certain spheres of economic activity are studied by such scientists as: K. Whyte (2019). Certain aspects of the issue of digitalization of agriculture and management of innovative projects of agricultural enterprises were considered in our previous studies [8][9][10][11]. This article is a logical continuation of the author's scientific research on the problem raised.…”
