Abstract

This study focuses on the COVID-19 pandemic's effects on project management, particularly in light of remote work. Project management has been significantly impacted by the widespread adoption of remote working practices by many organisations to ensure the continuity of business operations as a result of the pandemic. The study's goal is to investigate how productive project managers are in the post-COVID-19 virtual workplace, with a particular emphasis on Nigeria, where a lacklustre internet infrastructure may make it difficult for project managers to communicate and collaborate virtually.

The study's goals are to determine how project managers' working styles have changed since the virtual working system was implemented, to assess the effects of new systems put in place to ensure business continuity on project managers' productivity levels, to identify the advantages and difficulties that project managers face in the post-COVID-19 virtual workplace, and to suggest key metrics that would increase project managers' productivity.

Data collection and analysis for the study will be done using a case study methodology and thematic analysis. The results of this study can assist businesses in addressing productivity issues and project management in a virtual workplace. Project managers can gain knowledge from the study that will help them be more productive when working remotely.
