Web-Based Project Management

Introduction

Help in planning and implementing Web based project management software for a global defense corporation, presents several challenges. The foremost challenge in implementing the web based project is developing a system that could allow the share of hundreds of thousands of the document and papers among the team members situated around the country providing defense and security.

These are the following complete plan phase; the project embarks on implementation of the systems. While the company has considered latest Web based projects management system the successes, the web based project have its complexities along a way. While with other different projects, there are pitfall to ignore, and the learning curves to follow the project. There are few of the challenges the project managers have to face, to implement the web based program software in the Global Defense Corporation.

Until very recently however, the focus on factors associated with managing relationships was seen from a primarily administrative and functionalist perspective, the underlying assumption being that if its importance to project work was emphasized sufficiently enough and a set of project work practices associated with it codified, then this key aspect of a project's effectiveness could be sufficiently organized, planned and of course controlled. There are several phases include in implementing the web based project in Global Defense Corporation.

Discussion

Phase 1: Concept

Studies examined barriers to learning across corporation boundaries and between corporations. Emeric, Round, (2000) in their study of global defensive firm investigated to what extent organizations can learn from web based projects. They suggested that although projects have the potential for generating learning, the application of learning is dependent on the learning activities of the wider organization. In an investigation into project-based learning practices in a number of European companies Emeric, Round, (2000) found that three of the key barriers to learning in project-based firms are time pressures, centralization and deferral. Although they found increasing numbers of initiatives to try to overcome these issues the quality of the practice was poor, and there was not enough time available for project teams to reflect on their experiences. Emeric, Round (2000) studied nine medium to large construction projects in terms of the relationship between partnering strategy, organizational learning and knowledge management. They identified difficulty in the capture of project knowledge as a key barrier to learning how to cooperate.

Phase 2: Development

Processes encompass all the interactions that take place within the virtual defensive team. Among the team processes included, (i.e. planning processes, action processes, and interpersonal processes), interpersonal and technological processes and action processes (communication, collaboration, and coordination) have received the most attention recently. Understanding a virtual team's processes enables the organization to exert some influence over the types of interactions that the team engages through web base project as processes are strongly impacted by support systems as well as the various combinations and configurations of structural factors (Smith, 2010). In a recent literature review on web based project implementation, three main groups of processes were identified communicational, technological, and ...
