| 1) Project outcome |
| the outcome of the project (product) is not precisely defined at the beginning of the implementation | …also the purpose of the project changes during its implementation or is not even fully defined until the final stages of the project |
| less focus on day-to-day operational activities allows for greater focus on goals and results | Digital technologies make it much easier for project managers to focus on results by setting goals ... |
| 2) Time – temporality, specific start and end of a project |
| shortening the implementation time thanks to IT tools | Process automation allows managers to shorten the time spent on a particular project, improve the management of the entire project ... |
| shortening the project delivery time thanks to better communication | - organizing online meetings. This change not only reduces the time ... |
| the time of reaction to changes, including the unpredictable ones, is shortened | … Reaction time in unforeseen situations is particularly important in terms of the duration of the entire project |
| 3) Team performance |
| work online (remote, virtual), no need for direct contact and common location | The project team no longer has to be composed of people working together in one place. The multitude of digital platforms for project management equipped with instant messaging and videoconferencing allow for remote work ... |
| efficient recruitment and the possibility of acquiring specialists and experts from around the world | requires project managers to integrate a dispersed team, sometimes even in different time zones, but also gives the opportunity to recruit specialists for the project that they could not find in their territorial area, and bring them ... would be unprofitable for the project |
| project teams are becoming international, new challenges of multicultural management and diversity management | … Providing a common language of communication for multicultural project teams. And it is not about overcoming the language barrier as such, but about ensuring that all team members have the same understanding of the tasks and know what the expected results are. |
| 4) Limited resources |
| improving the allocation and monitoring of resources thanks to IT tools | Data sharing tools such as Sharepoint can reduce both time and cost. |
| easier access to human resources, no restrictions resulting from their location | ... the restrictions resulting from the location of employees in the world have disappeared |
| new opportunities to reduce costs | This change not only reduces the time, but also reduces the cost of travel, per diem and hotel rental. |
| 5) Risks |
| faster identification of threats | enables faster identification of threats, much better control of threats during the duration of projects (e.g., by ongoing control of project costs) ... |
| more precise, multi-faceted threat prediction | ... access to data along with their analysis enables prediction of threats and risks related to both external and internal factors |
| use of available data and their processing | the possibility of cataloguing and using in subsequent projects experiences from projects implemented ... |
| use of modern technologies, including AI | Having access to current data, it is possible to reliably assess ... the occurrence of risk and its impact on a particular stage of the project. In the implementation phase, you can easily monitor risks - both positive and negative |
| 6) Specific management methods |
| increasing importance of agile methodologies | directing project teams towards using agile management methods… |
| traditional methods and techniques have been programmed, most of the computational and visualization work through IT tools | budgeting, planning, and risk calculation, which have been known in the literature for several decades, have been implemented in computer applications ... tools such as MS Project, SpiraTeam, Jira, and many others (also dedicated to specific industries or companies) do most of the computational work |
| hybridization of project management methodologies | ... the use of technical solutions and the availability of information resulting in changes in the late stages of the project may reduce the share of “traditional” methodologies |
