Projects Without Boundaries: Successfully Leading Teams And Managing Projects In A Virtual World

The book will consist of five sections, each focused on a critical element associated with managing projects and leading teams in a virtual environment, including alignment to PMBOK lifecycle, managing and leading virtual projects, and organizational considerations. Written in a prescriptive manner, this book can be used as a guide for implementation of best practices and tools used in real-world companies, but also includes a wealth of case studies suitable for academia. It stands apart from scores of leadership books on this topic in that it addresses the challenges faced by project managers and project team leaders working along traditional project management and agile lifecycles.
