ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY
Source 1: Project Management within Virtual Software Teams
This source entails the use of project management techniques for managing the virtual teams that work on software development.  The problems related to virtual teams arise due to the collaborative nature of the software development team that can be managed by implementing the techniques related to digital media. The distance between the different team members is a major challenge that needs to be managed because it impacts the visibility, communication and coordination between the virtual team. Virtual project management helps to improve team collaboration because the exchange of information between the different hierarchies of the organization is quite easier as compared to the earlier project management techniques. As a result of this research, it is highlighted that project management related areas need to be addressed successfully by implementing the virtual techniques for managing the global teams. Effective infrastructure can be implemented in the organization to support the senior management for managing the challenges related to the virtual teams. It is identified that there is a research gap related to the knowledge management and communication that occu
ed between the collaborative teams comprising team members that are available in different locations which can only be managed by implementing the techniques related to digital media. This research work contributed to the field of project management by improvising the communication between the team members of the organization.

Source 2: Evolving approaches to employee engagement: comparing antecedents in remote work and traditional workplaces
The major purpose of this analysis is to identify the different factors that influenced the employee engagement in the organization in the context of remote work or virtual teams working for the organization. It is found that there are different factors like mindfulness, digital literacy that play an important role to manage the coordination and cooperation between the team members who are available for remote work, and the knowledge of the employees also play an important role to manage the communication between the organizational structure of the organization. The major research gap that exists in this field is related to the benchmark technique that can be used to manage the communication, coordination and engagement between the different employees that are working from the remote locations for the organization. The shortcoming of this research is that there is not any kind of quantitative research performed. Only the subjective analysis is performed and different literatures of the different authors are refe
ed to in this analysis, but it has a lack of facts and figures related to the evolving approaches that can be used to manage risk related to the employee engagement in the organization? The major contribution of this work in the field of project management is that it helps to identify the variety of approaches that help the managers to manage the employees who are available at remote work locations in concern of employee engagement and effective comparison between the traditional work places and remote work places is also performed in this analysis that helps to represent the cu
ent state of art related to the evolving approaches of employee engagement in terms of remote work, location and organization.

Source 3: Challenges of Virtual Project Management in Developing Countries
The main purpose of this research is to identify the challenges related to virtual project management by considering the scenario of developing countries. It is identified that multicultural virtual teams are very hard to manage as compared to the traditional techniques that are used in the organization to manage different team members who belong to different cultures. Face-to-face context is very different as compared to the virtual teams in terms of cultural aspects. It is very hard to manage the different time zones in terms of virtual project management as compared to the traditional project management techniques. The major research gap explored in this analysis is related to technologies and efforts required for managing the virtual technologies and efforts required for managing the virtual project management teams. The major shortcoming of this research is that only the scenario of developing countries is analyzed in this approach. This research neglected the scenario of developed countries where technology plays an important role to manage the remote work issues in the organization. The risk related to the poor communication between the employees who are serving the common purpose of the organization can also be combated by considering the use of virtual project management techniques. It also helps to manage the risk and conflict between the team members over available globally.

Source 4: Effect of a virtual project team environment on communication-related project risk
This research provide the understanding that there is a positive impact of using the virtual team project management techniques for managing the team environment because it helps to manage the communication related project risk. This study identifies that positive work environment can be built up by using the virtual team concept in the organization because the transparency is a factor that can be hosted with the implementation of virtual project techniques by the use of digital technology for communication purpose. The delay is related to the information dissemination between the different team members can also be combated easily, the major shortcoming of this research is that there is not any case study analysis performed in this approach. Only subjective approach is used by the author but in this research contributed well in the field of project management because it helps to notify the impact of a virtual project team environment on the communication of the team members and it is an inter-find that communication play a significant role for the successful completion of the project on defined deadlines with a defined quality that can...
