Currently at my company we are working on a project that is international, as we must communicate with Brazil, India, and Austria. The key hurdle with project management is the time difference within the countries and the communication gaps. With the project the burden of following as would be expected falls on us and it is the U.S. divisions job to relay the information to the other managers, sometimes this has to be done extensively, in order to get the proper documentation for the record. Another hurdle that is present is for the project we are conducting specific tests in Austria since we cannot import/export the material for testing into the United States. The hurdle that presents itself is that we need to conduct audits of the Austria site in order to ensure that they are up to par with U.S. regulations and standards. This disconnect in protocols and regulations is the largest hurdle faced when working on an international project and constant communication/documentation is key in ensuring that the project is conducted properly.
