During the month of March, ProjectManagement.com will focus on Leading-Edge PM Trends.

The theme for this month is digital trends for Project Managers. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are finding ourselves in an entirely new paradigm of how we will work and interact with others. Many of us have already been told to stay home and work virtually.

How are you preparing yourself and your teams for this new way of working?

How are will you interact and engage team members and stakeholders in this new way of working?

Please don't feel restricted by the questions posed above. What other thoughts or suggestions would you like to share on the topic of digital efforts and virtual teams?

On the flip side, if there is anything anyone would like to learn more about, please ask the question. Hopefully, someone here in the community can be of assistance. We are all working through this together.

We are strongest as a united community!

No change for me. In this 6 project with a volunteering team, I have polished using a hybrid of remote and in-person techniques with following tools: FreeConferenceCall.com (unlimited screensharing/teleconferencing - you can't beat that), Jira ($10/month for up to 10 team members), PlanningPoker.com for estimating (although that one is just cut down to 4 team members free).
For the next project, I already announced that it will be 100% remote and no one even frets, actually they want to learn the "Remote Agile Scrum" skills.

Thank you, Andrew. Definitely, the availability of tools is there. I do think there remains a gap, though, for officially vetted capabilities at the org level, as in vetted through whatever compliance policies there are; IT Sec & Compliance, Enterprise Architecture, Vendor Management, etc. Without a defined strategy and approved capabilities, individuals and teams are left to fend for themselves and search out disparate options which ultimately could pose unnecessary risks.
