Global projects are best managed when the project manager has experience working internationally. International projects may require travel or require the project manager to be sensitive to the cultural norms of the areas their project will affect. Additionally, global IT projects may require a project manager to know or learn the data storage and processing laws of the various countries associated with their projects. Interviewers ask this question when they anticipate this level of experience will be required for success in the open IT operations senior project manager role.

"Most of the IT projects I have managed have had a global reach. I began working in the HRIS group of an enterprise applications department five years ago. Our company had offices in the Americas, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia. I now work on mostly operations projects for XYZ telecommunications company. We have both domestic and international operations centers. My teams build systems that monitor operations and handle service requests globally.
I enjoy working with my counterparts, stakeholders, and end users around the world. I have learned a lot about their cultures and the business practices specific to their location. I look forward to continuing that here if offered the open position."
