This seems to be a WP:NEO, or at best some company's attempt at legitiziming its catchphrase. I do not see any true, independant sources. Angryapathy (talk) 20:54, 18 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete, essay of original research as well as someone's newly coined TLA. The prose seems to be mostly dieseling: VPM has unique challenges. Since team members are often scattered in different locations around the world, they have different schedules, cultures and expectations. Managing a virtual team makes it difficult to micro manage which is a traditional concept in project management. Project Managers often need to manage people for whom they have no first-hand or personal experience with. Project members have to become acutely aware of their team member’s differences and somehow align them to work together. The entire team is dependent on technology to do its job in order for the project to be successful. Project Managers need tools tailored to the challenges of virtual project management. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 14:38, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
