1. What is digital project management? Explain the digital technology trends in project
management.
Ans. Using digital technology for the management of modern projects to overcome the
most of the shortcomings of the conventional project management and it is called as Digital
Project Management.
Recent Digital Technology Trends in Project Management:
▪Location based analytics: Using location-based services, organisations want to push
personalised, relevant, and effective campaigns and services.
▪Social channel utilization and touch point optimisation: Organisations want to engage
their customers at all touch points (web, offline, kiosk, mobile, social media, IVR, etc.). Due
to increased popularity of social media platforms, organisations use them for the voice of
customer channels, brand marketing, campaigns, etc.
▪Mobile-first and cloud-first strategies: Digital platforms are built with mobile devices as
their primary delivery platforms. The applications are deployed increasingly on the cloud to
realise the "software as service" model.
▪Intuitive user experiences: Seamless and integrated cross channel enabled content with
dashboard views, unified views, 360-degree activity views, and
rich, real-time visualizations are becoming the norm in the user experience space.
▪Digital marketing: Organisations are leveraging social media platforms to market their
products and brands. Peer recommendations and peer approval play a major role in
influencing customers.
2. What is cloud technology? List applications of cloud technology in project
management.
Ans. Cloud technology allows the people to use the digital resources stored in the virtual
space through internet. It allows the people to share information and applications across
the internet without being the restriction of their physical location.
Applications of cloud technology:
1. The benefit of using Cloud applications is that it allows information sharing between
participants of a project as well as its inclusion of the customer to manage the
project.
2. Secure storage of data associated with the project;
3. The compatibility with the version of the application that supports the management
of a project.
4. Automation of some processes.
5. Requires no special license for the software.
6. Easy and quick access to the project from any place, one just needs to have internet
access.
7. The ability to support remote working of project team members when need arises.
3. What is IOT? List the uses of IOT in project management.
Ans. Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the process of connecting everyday physical objects to
the internet from common household objects like light bulbs to health care assets like
medical devices to wearable, smart devices and even smart cities.
Uses of IOT in Project management:
1.IOT enables the hyper speed reporting, and reduces the cost of communication
2. IOT allows complete monitoring and process control.
3. IOT creates an explosion of valuable project data, with the IOT, historical data will
become available immediately, which is extremely helpful for current and future projects.
4.IOT allows super-deep data analytics: With the IOT comes advanced data analytics and
advanced data analytics require advanced interpretations and management.
5. IOT users in stricter ethical and legal implications: Today’s internet connected devices
send data to each other extremely fast.
6. IOT raises expectations for all stakeholders: Once companies adopt IOT, the market place
will be transformed into a level playing field, only the strongest and effect will survive.
4. What is AR and VR? What are the differences between AR and VR?
Ans. Augmented Reality (AR):
Augmented reality is the real time use of information in the form of text, graphics, audio
and other virtual enhancements integrated with real world objects. AR is an enhanced
version of the real physical world that is achieved through the use of digital visual elements,
sound, or other sensory stimuli delivered via technology.
Virtual Reality (VR):
Virtual reality refers to a computer-generated simulation in which person can interact
within an artificial three-dimensional environment using electronic devices, such as special
goggles with a screen or gloves fitted with sensors. Ex: 3D movie, video games, virtual
meetings.
Differences between AR and VR:
Augmented Reality Virtual Reality
1. Combination of digital and real world. 1.Totally artificial digital world.
2. User experience is partially immersed. 2. Complete sense of immersion.

systems are good enough (Android, IOS,
Windows).
5. Initial cost is lower than the VR. 5. Initial cost is higher than the AR.
5. What are the applications of AR and VR?
Ans. Applications of AR and VR in Project Management:
1. Architecture, civil engineering, construction and real estate: Application of AR/VR
technologies significantly reduces costs and time expenditure, improves design, and
facilitates construction planning.
2. Marketing and sales: Many companies have recognized additional values for both
marketers and customers. For instance, Ikea Place app helps customers in fast decision
making when purchasing furniture, by using cameras of smartphones or tablets.
3. Education: There are many examples of AR/VR projects for general use in education, for
example: SCARLET Special Collections using Augmented Reality to Enhance Learning and
Teaching.
4. Visual industries: There are many examples of using AR/VR and related projects in this
field; game industry, fashion industry, entertainment industry - cinema, film, travelling
exhibitions (e.g., landmarks, museums) etc.
5. Automotive: AR/VR solutions are used for test drives, car elements testing, car
dealership experience, etc. For example, Volkswagen adopts VR and AR solutions
successfully with increasing demands that automotive industry has been facing on. The
6. Manufacturing: In complex manufacturing processes AR is useful in delivering the right
information at the right moment to factory workers on assembly lines.
7. Healthcare: Training of surgeons is one of the most important field of application of the
AR/VR technologies in healthcare.
8.Service support: Remote technical and expert support, visualized instructions, remote
repairing, knowledge, exchange, etc.,
