Critically discuss the five project management functions that can be accomplished by the use of technology and how you would have applied it to the case to satisfy your manager.

Answer 1

• Communication has improved. The majority of project managers will tell you that communication is the most critical factor in project success.
• Cloud-based efficiency. Effective project management solutions were sometimes too expensive and labor-intensive for all but the most lucrative businesses to justify their usage.
• Reporting and real-time updates. It used to take a project manager days, if not weeks, to receive updates from stakeholders, revise the project plan, and distribute the most recent reports.
• Project Teams that are Mobile and Decentralized. Employees and contractors from various locations, time zones, nations, and even continents might be brought together to work on a project.
• Collaboration in the Social Environment. It didn't happen overnight, but project management has gotten faster and easier now that corporations have begun to use social collaboration technologies on a broad scale.
