Tiivistelmä
In the modern world where the business environment is changing constantly, in order to keep the leading position and not to lose the competitive advantage, companies have to implement some changes in their work almost all the time. Often it is required to launch a new project inside the company.
So did the company Lähialuematkat. To stay ahead of the competition on the market, the management of the company made a decision to launch a new online system, where they would be able to sell visas all over the world.
The goal of this product-oriented thesis is to create the online visa purchasing system SoloVisa. The duties of the Project Manager working on the project team of SoloVisa will be described in this thesis. The scope of the thesis does not include the description of every feature that the system is able to do, but involves several problems, which are solved in this work. The solved issues include improving communication channels between the company and its customers, solving the issue of the storage of the information concerning the orders, improving the awareness of the staff about the documents location and creating the notification system for the external users.
The information about how to create a project team, how to be a successful manager and also what specifics has the management of a virtual project team can be found in the theoretical framework. The actual solutions for the problems mentioned earlier in this abstract and the process of creating the end product of this thesis – SoloVisa, will be described in the empirical part.
