Expert Answer
Ans 1 Leveraging mobile and upgrading the technology are the two importat factors leading to successful project management performance. It does not mean that other three are less relavant. The priority with which one incorporates these trends depends case to case. In my case, the two given above are the most important because sharing of information and decision making on the go are the order of the day for many project managers who are always on the move, and need to be in touch round the clock with the project team. They rely on technology tools and mobile applications for communication for better management of tasks.
