Globalization, Outsourcing and Virtual teams- How does it help a project?




Globalization: lower trade and political barriers and the digital revolution have made it possible to interact almost instantaneously with billions of other people across the planet
Outsourcing: outsourcing is when an organization acquires goods and/or sources from an outside source; off shoring is sometimes used to describe outsourcing from another country
Virtual teams: a virtual team is a group of individuals who work across time and space using communication technologies




Outsourcing projects gives organizations a competitive advantage by reducing there cost on some services. Project manager’s need to be aware of some the barriers that could from outsourcing. Some barriers include:
• Time zone difference
• Language barriers
• Project time lines

It is also important that a project manager includes negotiate contracts and other outsourcing issues as part of the risk factors in a project.

Some projects are required to be finished quickly. When planning the scope of a project a project manager could consider using a virtual team. Virtual team increases the competitiveness and responsiveness of a project by having a team that is available 24/7. When hiring a virtual team it could cost least then hiring a full-time employee. They do not require a office space or support beyond their home office. Some of the challenges a project manager could in counter is a increase of communication problems and increase in the dependence on technology to accomplish work.

  9. barber motorsports park Hey guys how's it going? Today we're going to go for a lap around Barber Motorsports Park in a Dallara IR-18 with Josh Herman.

    So as we come down the front straightaway it's a real fast track, it's a left hander with lots of elevation change and a deep braking point.

    You go smashing right through that turn you wanna keep the speed up and then it's a long sweeper here going up this hill, man, it's a flat out corner right there you have to be careful coming down to the braking zone here...It's a late braking zone, it's probably the trickiest turn on the track you have to get a good exit out of here, but you can lose a lot of time.

    Using up all the road as you see a little bit overboard there. This next part of the track is super fast you really have to push it to the limit right here as you can see locking up the brakes and jumping over the curbs and then really get a quick exit out of this turn using up all the track.

    This is a pretty simple left hander you don't want to use a lot of curb there because if you do your car bounces around and you lose time.

    This you want to do flat out right here and then down to 4th gear, over the hill, around this is where you cover really high speed umm it's really tricky you know your wheels can come off the ground.

    Other than that, that's a lap at Barber Motorsports Park. I hope you guys enjoyed the video.

  15. Personal advice Even at home, we’re really just on one prolonged trip that will end sooner than we’d like it to. So now when I meet a girl here, I’m going to see if we can treat the evening like we’re both just visiting. I’ll say something to her without thinking too hard about it, and maybe she’ll come over to my table to drink beers.
