1 Assess your needs

The first step is to assess your current situation and identify what kind of project management tools you need. Think about the scope, complexity, and duration of your project, as well as the size, location, and preferences of your team. What are the main challenges you face in managing your project? What are the key features and functions you need in a tool? How much budget and time do you have to invest in a tool? By answering these questions, you can narrow down your options and prioritize your needs.

If any virtual team lacks proper project management tools, we can explore doing the below: Develop clear and standardized processes for task assignment, progress tracking, and communication, even if you don't have dedicated tools. This ensures that everyone understands their responsibilities and how to collaborate effectively. Encourage team members to document their tasks, progress, and any important updates in a centralized location, such as a shared document or spreadsheet. This helps maintain transparency and accountability, even without dedicated project management tools. Be open to making adjustments and adapting your processes based on their input and evolving needs.

In the global arena of project management, the initial step is to conduct a comprehensive assessment tailored to international dynamics. Consider the diverse scope, complexity, and duration of projects, alongside the unique attributes of your multinational team—size, location, and preferences. What challenges arise from managing projects across borders? What functionalities are imperative in a tool to address these challenges effectively? Balancing budget and time constraints, outline your requirements to streamline the selection process. By addressing these questions through an international lens, you can strategically prioritize needs and align tools with the complexities of global project management.

2 Research your options

The next step is to research your options and find out what project management tools are available and suitable for your virtual team. There are many types of tools, such as task management, communication, collaboration, file sharing, time tracking, reporting, and more. You can use online reviews, ratings, comparisons, and recommendations to evaluate different tools and see how they match your needs. You can also ask for feedback from your team members and other virtual teams who have used similar tools.

My experience points to a primary identification of the universe of projects that will be managed, after all, not all will be suitable for everyone (the projects), some more collaborative than others or even more technologically adaptable than others. And why not also look at the issue of costs? I would immerse myself in the universe of alternatives with the aim of putting several relevant options on the table.

3 Test and select a tool

The final step is to test and select a tool that works best for your virtual team. You can sign up for free trials, demos, or webinars to get a hands-on experience of how a tool works and how it can benefit your project. You can also involve your team members in the testing process and ask for their opinions and suggestions. Once you have tested a few tools, you can compare them and select the one that meets your needs, budget, and expectations.

With the search carried out, I suggest starting a round of searching for common elements for a future selection. At this stage, we would list elements relevant to a greater number of possible projects. Once this step was also completed, the finalized choices would be tested using accessibility, value, complexity, availability and collaborative character as criteria.
