Abstract
Abstract. Virtual Reality (VR) technology transforms project management by enhancing team building, communication efficiency, and critical thinking. It offers immersive and interactive solutions that promote trust, coordination, and collaboration. Its ability to cre-ate realistic simulations addresses key challenges traditional team-building methods face, especially for remote and distributed teams. While VR’s adoption is growing, limited research has explored its specific impact on team-building activities and project out-comes, particularly in educational and remote contexts. This gap underscores the need for studies examining how VR can effectively be utilised to improve team performance and overcome barriers to collaboration. This study investigates the role of VR in enhanc-ing team communication, fostering trust, and improving project outcomes. A mixed-methods approach was employed, integrating qualitative and quantitative data from sur-veys, observational analyses, and literature reviews to assess VR’s effectiveness in pro-ject management. The findings reveal that VR significantly enhances communication ef-ficiency and critical thinking, leading to better project execution. Additionally, VR ef-fectively bridges geographical barriers, enabling seamless collaboration for remote teams. However, challenges such as financial constraints, resistance to adopting new technologies, and cognitive overload indicate the need for strategic implementation. Practical recommendations for integrating VR into project management include comprehensive user training, optimised system design, and strategies to minimise cognitive load. These insights highlight VR’s potential to transform team dynamics and productivity while addressing challenges that may hinder its adoption. The study also identifies areas for further research to refine VR integration strategies and maximise its benefits.
