Project Management Using Risk Identification Architecture Pattern (RIAP) Model: A Case Study on a Web-Based Application
Authors: Thamer Al-Rousan; S. Sulaiman; R. A. Salam
Year: 2009

Many failures associated with software development in particular Web-based applications are due to poor awareness of risks involved and the weak management of these risks. Hence, effective risk management has become the essential factor in ensuring the success of the Web project management. We propose RIAP (Risk Identification Architecture Pattern) model to manage risks in Web projects. It has been implemented in a tool called WPRiMA (Web Project Risk Management Assessment). A case study illustrates the practical application of WPRiMA tool in a real web-based application project. The findings reflect that RIAP model can support software architects to estimate and mitigate risks before the design stage using WPRiMA.
Discussion on Solving the Problem of “Labor Disturbance” in Construction Labor Under the Mode of Project Management
Authors: Chao Zhang
Year: 2024

In construction enterprises, the issue of "noise operation" in the collection of migrant workers' wages has emerged as a pressing and fundamental problem that needs immediate attention. In addition to the issue of certain enterprises maliciously with-holding wages from migrant workers, there are also contractors and labor interme-diaries who exploit migrant workers to demand higher wages, thereby encouraging them to ask for more during the wage negotiation process. This practice seeks to secure illegal benefits for the contractors and labor intermediaries. In the context of the economic downturn, the profits of construction companies have fallen, leading to emerging issues and resulting in losses on some projects. As the Project Security Manager, you will be required to assist the Project Department in handling such incidents. This paper mainly analyzes the root causes of such problems and proposes methods to address and prevent them. These findings can serve as a valuable reference for enterprises and project managers during the actual management process.
Facilitating Knowledge Transfer in Project Management Environment
Authors: Hannes T. Haraldsson; Jacob Didriksen
Year: 2022

This paper presents an approach to adaptive knowledge management in the presence of management of projects for facilitation of knowledge transfer among project workers that promotes the effective completion of a project. The approach consists in coordinated dynamic management by the temporal sequence of project task groups and collaborative groups of project workers assigned for tasks performance. At that, tasks relevant knowledge, knowledge of the project workers, temporal and structural task parameters are jointly taken into account. The objective of the approach is to facilitate knowledge transfer between project workers for effective performance of the task work. The aim of the paper is to identify the key factors that influence the ability to transfer knowledge. The framework is represented by key factors characterizing significant influences on knowledge transfer. The results of the study indicate that the approach can be applied to project management.
A Theory of User Acceptance of IS Project Management Methodologies: Understanding the Influence of Psychological Determinism and Experience
Authors: K. Mohan; F. Ahlemann
Year: 2011

Despite the overwhelming advantages of using an IS project management methodology, organisations are rarely able to motivate their staff to use them: Consequently, this lack of methodology usage by individuals fails to deliver the expected advantages of better quality, control, less time and effort. We analyse the determinants of an individual‘s intention to use IS project management methodology in order to enable organisations to engineer those that meet the needs of actual users and are really used by them. Results from an exploratory field study conducted in a service organisation, are used to construct a conceptual model. Based upon this research model, we posit that: a) value of a methodology, b) workgroup influence, c) self-beliefs, d) organisational characteristics, and e) previous habits influence intention to use a methodology. Additionally, we find that the strength of these relationships depends upon the needs of an individual and the degree of prior experience they have in using similar methodology.

Can Aid Interventions Facilitate Project Resilience Performance? An Inverted U-Shaped Relationship Investigation
Authors: Hanyang Ma; Zijiong Kong; Yilong Han; Ruochen Zeng
Year: 2024

International development organizations have provided aids for a range of projects in developing countries, where the volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous environment can pose great threats and challenges to project resilience. In this study, we aim to explore the impact of aid interventions on project resilience performance and the contingent role of institutional conditions in which projects are located. By integrating resource-based and capability-based views, we theorize an inverted U-shaped relationship between aid interventions and project resilience performance. Using a dataset of 654 projects in 33 countries from 2002 to 2019, the empirical results validate the inverted U-shaped relationship, and indicate that such relationship is steeper in countries with poorer institutional conditions than in countries with better ones. As one of the pioneering attempts to address the topic of international aid interventions on project resilience performance, this study contributes to refining the understanding of how aid interventions affect project resilience performance by identifying two concurrent but opposing forces. It further sheds light on the contingencies of institutional conditions and unveils the complex interactions of internal governance, external aids, and institutional environment in project management, and provides a novel and reasonable measurement of project resilience performance for future empirical research.

Identifying Early Warning Signs of Failures in Offshore Software Development Projects - A Delphi survey
Authors: Tom Philip; G. Schwabe; Erik Wende
Year: 2010

ABSTRACT The distribution of IT activities around the world as a result of globalization has driven the growth of global IT outsourcing or IT offshoring. Software projects are increasingly sent from high-cost countries to low-cost offshore countries such as India, Russia etc. Because of the inherent complexities and uncertainties of software projects, they continue to experience poor performance problems. This paper discusses the concept of early warning signs (EWS) to improve project success rates, especially in the unique onshore-offshore project environment, which is exposed to higher project risks. This research employs a Delphi survey to identify and rank the most important EWSs of failures in offshore software development (OSD) projects. The survey panelists include 23 experts from the offshore client and vendor companies in Switzerland and India. The survey results are discussed and further steps to study the EWSs in an OSD project context are outlined.

Patterns of innovation in service industries
Authors: I. Miles
Year: 2008

The diversity of service activities means that service innovations and innovation processes take various forms. In this paper, we use input/output and other data to depict how service industries vary in such areas as products, markets, work organization, and technological characteristics-most being very distinctive from primary industries (i.e., extractive industries such as agriculture, fisheries, forestry, mining, petroleum, quarrying, and the like) and secondary industries (i.e., manufacturing, construction, and utilities). Innovation survey data indicates that some service organizations behave very much like high-technology manufacturing. This is especially true of technology-based, knowledge-intensive business services (T-KIBS). Distinctive innovation patterns are displayed by KIBS based more on professional knowledge and by large network-based service firms, while many smaller service firms conform to a supplier-driven pattern. Only a small segment of service innovation conforms to the typical manufacturing-based model, in which innovation is largely organized and led by formal research and development (R&D) departments and production engineering. Project management and on-the-job innovation are common ways of organizing service innovation. Innovation policy and management have to be much more than R&D policy and R&D management: This is recognized by some national governments and in some business schools, but the full implications of a service-dominant logic are still rarely found.

Authors: W. Chmielarz; Anna Sołtysik-Piorunkiewicz
Year: 2024


 
 
 The main purpose of this article is to compare experts’ opinions over two time periods to examine the differences in IT project management awareness and perception. The study was based on opinions expressed in a survey conducted in 2017 and 2023 during symposium meetings related to business process management.
 
 
 
 The paper’s methodology is based on a theoretical and research approach. The survey questionnaire was constructed using a literature analysis and the authors’ own experience. The authors formulated a hypothesis addressing the issue of how awareness regarding IT project management has changed over the last five years. The main hypothesis was supplemented by auxiliary hypotheses concerning the variation regarding awareness of: the need to implement information systems into organizations, the need to apply process management within these implementations, and the determinants and effects of IT project management.
 
 
 
 The main results and findings of the research were determined by the validity of the hypotheses using the Fisher-Snedecor test. In addition, differences in city and Euclidean distance indices were calculated, which indicated the directions of changes in experts’ views on the place and role of project management. The results pointed to the existence of significant discrepancies between experts’ awareness in 2017 and 2023. The conclusions obtained from the survey may have important implications for both business practitioners and educational purposes.
 
 
 
 Findings: the findings show the opinions of experts including individuals with a strong research interest and those with an academic background, and also incorporated respondents with substantial practical experience. Part of the respondents’ competence was related to years of using traditional project management methods, which in some way also shapes the approach to agile and hybrid methodologies.
 
 
 
 The conclusion for future project management education at universities, consulting firms, specialized courses, etc. shows profiling in the direction of modern IT development trends correspond to the changes connected with strategies of modern mobile companies with remote access to the data, taking into account changes connected based on representatives from Generation Z, the demographic currently entering the workforce.
Methodology to associate the Product Design and Project Management processes in a common platform
Authors: Citlalih Gutierrez Estrada; S. D. Zagal; Eréndira Rendón Lara; C. H. Tenorio; Rafael Cruz Reyes
Year: 2010

The purpose of the work herein described is to simplify the systems design task. The research uses several standards and tools as reference points to define a methodology by associating two processes: a creation plan and a guide to implement the system. Considering this, the research carried out for this paper defines a methodology useful in System Design. The method starts from a common-modeled platform and defines the way in which two processes closely linked to System Development interact: Product Design and Project Management. Currently, both processes occur independently from each other and each of them has its own tools and methods, therefore generating cost and time losses. The purpose of this research is to identify the technologies and knowledge obtained from both processes that will result in highly functional systems.

Authors: Garry Huang; Shwn-meei Lee; D. Clinciu
Year: 2023

The purpose of this study is to examine whether organizational project management maturity in the project management consultancy industry offers any competitive advantages to a business when it tenders for contracts. We collected 150 responses from both members and former members of professional Australian project management associations in order to examine and understand any potential effects of project management maturity on management and organizations. The statistical software SPSS was used to analyze the data collected with the confidence interval (alpha) set at 5%. The results of this study reveal that organizational project management maturity has an effect on competitive advantages as noted by the project managers (p < .0001; 99.99%; H0 –rejected). The study also shows that the perception of competitive advantages for organizational project management maturity is based on the level of maturity reached. It also reveals that an organization is winning contracts/jobs due to various other competencies, particularly soft skills such as client relationships, stakeholder management, communications skills, and modes of client engagement.
Increasing earned value analysis efficiency for IT projects
Authors: S. Stanek; D. Kuchta
Year: 2020

ABSTRACT The Earned Value Method is a tool of cost control for projects. It may become an important warning system and decision aid in project management, especially with respect to cost overruns. However, if the estimations required within the framework of the method are made without the necessary diligence, its efficiency may be low. In this paper, it is proposed to increase this efficiency thanks to the integration of three IT project management tools: the Daily scrum, the Sprint review and the COCOMO method. The EVA method is described. Further on, the idea of the Daily scrum, the Sprint review and the COCOMO method is sketched and it is shown how the integration of those tools may increase the efficiency of the EVA method.
