Globalization is the act of extending to all parts of the world. Outsourcing is an organizations acquisition of goods, and services from an outside source. Virtual team is a group of people who work together despite time and space boundaries using communication technologies.
These trends are changing IT PM by in some cases making it easier and some cases harder to communicate/work/share. The PM will have a wider area to draw talent from with globalization and the use of virtual teams. Could also be a nice added bonus to the local staff if offered as a work from home opportunity this also can save on budget for office space needed. The PM can also limit some on the budget side by outsourcing say development to another country.
Globalization is definitely a game changer. In a down economy, being able to access cheap, skilled labor from the other side of the globe provides a significant competitive advantage.
