Abstract

Social media tools have emerged as a popular communication tool for team collaboration, task management, and knowledge sharing within project management teams. However, the benefits and drawbacks of using social media tools in project management teams are not yet fully understood. This research project explores the use of social media tools within project management teams, its impact on team performance, and the factors that influence its effective implementation. Results of a survey of 57 project managers and team members suggest that the role of social media has evolved significantly, from being a simple means of socialising to becoming a crucial instrument for team collaboration and productivity. This discovery corresponds with the increasing prevalence of digital transformation in workplaces, emphasising the significance of utilising technology to enhance team performance.
