The Effect of Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality on Managing Projects

Abstract

This report highlights how digital disruption and transformation have affected project management. Amazon was selected as the organization, and project management was chosen as the industry. Primary research-based open-end interviews with thirty project managers and secondary research based on a review of past literature were conducted to perform this study. It was found that digital disruption has occurred in the project management industry, which has modified the behaviors, needs, and expectations of people in society, the market, and the industry. It was found that virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) has disrupted the project management industry. The AR caused a shift in the consumer (sponsor/client) wants in the project management industry. Customer derives the demand want from. Therefore the businesses and their competitors’ activities are modified to adapt the AR and VR-based technologies. AR and VR reduced the project managers’ efforts, time, and resources. Moreover, the metaverse is another technology that will cause significant digital disruption and digital transformation in the project management industry.
