Tiivistelmä
The main purpose of this thesis is to describe management methods and tools for multinational IT projects. All conclusions are based on the research, when few cases were studied and analyzed. Those cases are IT projects, where team members are from differ-ent countries and with different background. At Demola Academy, three IT projects from well-known Finnish companies, took place and proved to be very successful. In addition, three separate cases based on interviews of IT professionals from different companies, took place where they have shared their experience and named the most working methods for IT projects. All programmers were working in multinational teams.
In the first section of this paper, one will find an introduction of Demola projects, then the thesis continues with practical advice and methods given by project managers of the IT projects; some ideas which are discussed are those of motivation, conflict solving, team management, project planning tools and methods. The next section gives practical information about IT management used in IT companies during long periods of time.
It should be noted that, this paper is more practical than theoretically oriented. Most of ideas and results are taken from real experiences of working project managers. The theoretical part mostly includes definitions and explanations of some IT related terminology mentioned in the paper.
