In digital era the e-learning tools for project management teams include: automation, gamification, cloud computing and collaborative algorithms. We propose an analysis starting from specific criteria in IT project teams: Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and we propose e-learning tools to improve team members levels of project knowledge. E-learning becomes vital for project performance and can be considered as a regulatory activity among project members. In order for KPIs to be representative we choose SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, Time-Bound) indicators like: planned hours vs time spent, resource capacity, number of errors, training/research needed for project, number of change requests. IT projects have some specific characteristics that influence e-learning methods applied as we mention: strong dynamics, high level of specialization on technology, reuse of knowledge and requirements for project libraries with code and best practices. Regarding tools used in IT projects e-learning, they should satisfy the following criteria: on-line acces on various gadgets, resource sharing among team members, certifications available for e-learners. Open-source is a trend in IT projects and from this perspective we mention GIT Hub as a platform for e-learning and analyze its advantages and disadvantages against the KPIs set previously proposed. This analysis should meet an important requirement: e-learning works as a prerequisite for project quality and adapt people skills to project scope. An IT project team should adapt its learning capabilities in an environment full of challenges and diversity, therefore the keywords are personalization and collaboration. Through e-learning an IT project team becomes an adaptive and intelligent organization.
