REMOTE PROJECT MANAGEMENT: A POST-PANDAMIC FRAMEWORK FOR ORGANISATIONAL ADAPTABILITY AND SUSTAINABILITY

Abstract

Modern project management is increasingly challenged by global disruptions such as pandemics like COVID-19, environmental issues like smog and rapid technological shifts, making traditional approaches inadequate. While Remote Project Management (RPM) emerged as a necessity due to health safety, access to global talent and cost savings. This study evaluates RPM and Hybrid Project Management (HPM) viability as a long-term strategy through case studies and surveys which highlighting how local economic conditions and technological readiness shape its effectiveness. Findings show RPM enhances operational flexibility, cost efficiency, and talent access but requires tailored solutions data security and team coordination. A conceptual framework for RPM is proposed to balance productivity with workforce well-being. The research underscores that RPM is evolving from an emergency measure to an industry standard.
