Problem: Applied Project Management
On any project team, the project manager might face challenges in both schedule and communication management. A schedule management issue that you should be familiar with is the concept of a time-robber (or waster). This refers to activities that take away from the focus on project activities located on the WBS. How would you as a PM, discover and address the time-robbers of a virtual team as opposed to a collocated one? Explain how you would communicate necessary changes to mitigate or eliminate such time-robbers.
