Evaluating the effectiveness of remote project management in the post-pandemic era

Abstract

The effectiveness of the remote project management is always effective especially after the pandemic era. It enables of the project managers to improve its efficiency and manage the work from anywhere. Remote project management helps to work flexibly and provide in time delivery of any project. GSPC has been addressed here in terms of its process to use the RPM for its activities and project management. The existing literature regarding the impact of RPM has been explored adequately and the arguments have been aligned with relevant theories as well. This existing gap in literature has been addressed with adequate methodology. The research assesses Remote Project Management (RPM) performance at Gujarat State Petroleum Corporation Ltd. (GSPC) after the pandemic period. This chapter methodology outlines the research methodology for examining remote project management effectiveness post-pandemic. It details the interpretivist philosophy, inductive approach, and exploratory design. A cross-sectional survey using random sampling at GSPC collected quantitative data. Ethical considerations ensured confidentiality and informed consent, enhancing the study’s validity, reliability, and practical relevance.

The survey findings indicate that RPM enhances productivity and cost efficiency. While improving work-life balance but faces obstacles in communication and managing deadlines alongside digital tool adoption. Chapter 5 uses thematic analysis to connect survey results with both existing literature and case studies. The research examines how remote teams collaborate while identifying digital infrastructure obstacles and cybersecurity threats along with communication challenges. Optimizing RPM benefits requires structured communication protocols. Alongside training programs alongside robust cybersecurity measures. It also shows how RPM transforms project management today by stressing the need for ongoing adaptation.
