Seeing the voice of the student: A pilot study of customer-driven courses
Authors: Orges Cico; M. L. Jaccheri; Anh Nguyen-Duc
Year: 2021

Context: Customer-driven courses have been a classic approach in teaching software engineering for over four decades at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. The main goal of these courses is close collaboration between students and customers. However, in this scope of work, the intent was to evaluate students' perception of skills acquisition, startup formation mindset, and the introduction of external activities. Objectives: Several aspects were investigated, which include how collaboration with external customers affects student skills in a customer-driven course, how collaboration with external customers affects students' motivation in startup formation, and how students perceive the introduction of an external Innovation Bootcamp activity at the start of the course. Method: Twelve semi-structured focus group interviews were conducted with 86 students. Furthermore, an inductive thematic analysis was performed, which utilized open coding of the interview transcripts. Results: Students reflected an improvement in technical, soft, and project management skills. It was found that many of the customers' projects were not eligible for becoming startups due to the nature of the project niche scope closely related to the customer needs. Motivations in startup formation rely heavily on individual students' mindsets, and many of the teams had a weak perception about startup formation within the existing course context. The overall observation from the focus group interviews was that introducing external activities such as Innovation Bootcamp could assist in the process of startup formation and elevate the projects' relevance and quality. Contribution: The study's findings contribute to the course's future improvement while introducing external activity. The outcome could promote student innovation and active participation in customer project proposals and end-product features. Educators and researchers can benefit from the findings of our study in regard to making future updates to their customer-driven courses. There is also potential to increase practitioners' awareness of positive student input in their project proposals.
"IT was a War that Wore out both Men and women..." - Metaphors in an Information System Project
Authors: Riitta Hekkala; Mari-Klara Stein; M. Rossi
Year: 2014

This study looks at metaphors from the perspective of cognitive metaphor theory. Using the theory developed by Lakoff and Johnson (1980) we examine the use of metaphors by project members in an information system (IS) project. The data was collected from 22 interviews. Interviews were conducted with a range of stakeholders, including representatives of users, software developers, experts and IT and service managers. The findings of this qualitative case study indicate that IS developers and experts use many kinds of metaphors to make sense of the IS project they work on. The findings also show that metaphor is pervasive in IS development work, not just in language but also in thought and action and various metaphors are used to make sense of the different phases of the project. It can be argued that the dominant metaphors of any given project will strongly affect the trajectory of the project. Thus the metaphors in use in a project should be a concern for project management and we suggest that emphasizing constructive metaphors could be beneficial for many projects.

The beginning of the full-scale invasion of russia into Ukraine caused significant
 human, economic and political losses, as well as destruction of the shipping system of
 water transport. Nevertheless, in the future (in the post -war period) all losses
 received must be restored according to projects and programs in the post-war period.
 This paper examines the current scientific and applied problem of developing approaches
 to managing the success of fleet chartering projects based on proacti ve research of
 shipping companies. The authors have identified the main factors affecting fleet
 chartering processes: trends in the charter market; the volume of transport work in
 already developed markets, opportunities to enter new markets, the level of prices for
 ships, the state of the turbulent environment. The main strategic goals that determine
 the need to replenish the shipping company's fleet have been established. The main types
 of fleet replenishment projects corresponding to the following options for fleet
 replenishment have been identified: shipbuilding, ship acquisition, leasing (bareboat
 charter), short - and medium-term lease of ships (time charter). Classification of the
 main types of fleet replenishment projects, regarding their classification features,
 definition of products, specifics of life cycles, value and composition of stakeholders,
 which fully characterizes fleet replenishment as an object of project management. As a
 result of the time charter lease, the company is limited in its rights to the vessel and
 can only carry out commercial activities, and this type of lease allows solving short-
 and medium-term tasks related to market activity and the need to replenish the fleet.
 The concept and model of the proactive formation of fleet chartering project parameters
 in specific market conditions, taking into account their further development, which
 ensures the establishment of project product characteristics and the life cycle, taking
 into account the integral influence of the dynamics of the market conditions related to
 the project. For each selected type of fleet chartering project, the main classification
 features, specifics of life cycles, value and composition of participants are
 established. Thus, the formation of management models for the implementation of
 innovative projects, programs, in particular in Ukraine in its post-war conditions, in
 the paradigm of uncertainty of crises in the post-war period, remains relevant.

Authors: Sara Carbonari; G. Mazzuto; M. Bevilacqua; F. Ciarapica
Year: 2022

During the last decade, the need for an effective and efficient public system has become increasingly important to many countries. For endemic reasons, private entities have always been deemed smarter and faster than public organizations. The present study reflects a first specific investigation of the so-called “public efficiency” related to the Public Project Management, collocating itself in the ground of the New Public Management. Given the nature of the subject, which is highly complex and considers various factors, the proposed scientific approach is the use of Fuzzy Cognitive Maps, a soft computing strategy for causal information acquisition supporting the reasoning process. The case study selected to accomplish this preliminary analysis concerns a public university in the center of Italy, focusing on the administrative process of approving of an R & D project proposal.
The Coronavirus Pandemic (COVID-19) and Cooperative-Intelligent Transport Systems
Authors: Bettina Arnegger
Year: 2022

Cooperative-intelligent transport systems (C-ITS) are a solution for the manifold challenges of traffic as well as a major competitive stepping stone for the European automotive and tele-communication industry. However, against the backdrop of far-reaching COVID-19 impacts, the management of such complex C-ITS megaprojects needs to be adapted. Insights from most recent research contributions on megaproject management and the unexpected have shown that fostering a common sense of action, intense and efficient communication, and a strong organizational culture can help C-ITS projects to cope with the unprecedented situation. The institutional role model has proven to be an effective implementation framework for employing such project management methods in the C-ITS context. By combining different strands of research in an analysis of the intersection between recent C-ITS findings and theory on megaproject management and the unexpected, this article contributes to a holistic understanding of the impact of COVID-19 on C-ITS.

The purpose of the work is to analyze national and federal projects of the Russian Federation in the field of ecology, transport infrastructure, assess the degree of their implementation and identify factors affecting the effectiveness of project activities. The article analyzes the main aspects of project management in the system of transport infrastructure development, control and monitoring of planned activities. This will reveal the degree to which the final goals of the projects have been achieved, taking into account the transport component in the region’s system. One of the most pressing topics in the modern world is the environmental problem, which has a serious impact on the economy of the state and the life of society. The negative consequences of economic growth have necessitated the formation of a concept of sustainable development and the development of Sustainable Development Goals within its framework, the achievement of which is carried out through the development and implementation of environmental projects. Using a systematic approach, considering the totality of national, federal and regional environmental projects as a single and integrated system, allowed us to achieve our goal. As a result of the conducted research, projects of the Russian Federation in the field of ecology at the national and federal levels were identified, projects were linked to the Goals of sustainable development, development of transport infrastructure, an analysis of the implementation of project indicators was carried out, the reasons for the deviation of indicators from the set values were identified, the dynamics of environmental ratings of the leading regions over two years was considered. The practical and theoretical significance of the study lies in identifying the factors influencing the success of project activities in the field of ecology, taking into account transport infrastructure and the possibility of predicting the results of project implementation in the future.

Authors: S. Aker; C. Audin; E. Lindy; L. Marcelli; J.-P. Massart; Y. Okur
Year: 2013

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Communications and Information (NCI) Agency is responsible for procuring and maintaining systems that are aligned with NATO Alliance operational requirements and national agreements, and are interoperable, when appropriate, with national systems. In the current NATO environment, long lead items, such as obtaining nationally agreed to capability packages and financial investments, are now leaving less time to engineer complex solutions in a fluctuating financial and mission environment. In addition, NATO is challenged with fielding systems to operational and system administrative users provided by 28 allied nations. This presents challenges with language, data exchange, security issues, and training for users that may rotate back to their nation every three years. This unique NATO environment has forced Project Managers (PMs) and Technical Leads (TLs) to operate with constraints imposed by contracts built around traditional systems engineering waterfall methods. In contrast, system lifecycle short timelines demand engineering solutions using agile methods supported by iterative, user validation of the system fit for purpose and usability with regard to changing peace-time and war-time missions (International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), Libyan Operation Unified Protector (OUP), etc.). The NCI Agency will be fielding a new Air C2 information service (AirC2IS) in 2013. This system, AirC2IS, was partially installed for initial system validation 21 months after contract award and will be fielded to over 20 NATO sites 35 months after contract award. The system will replace an interim capability and offer a vast array of software functionalities, using a web-based design, including, but not limited to, air track management, shared early warning, air planning, theatre ballistic missile defense planning and monitoring, and collaborative tool integration. The system capabilities are being procured by NCI Agency and developed by an industry partner. The AirC2IS design phase utilized a Human Machine Interface (HMI) driven approach and the development phase an agile methodology with user validation of functionalities before formal testing. The overall systems engineering approach was tailored to reduce risks of system non-acceptance and ensure high usability and software fit for purpose, matching user requirements. This paper will present lessons learned in the procurement, development, and fielding of AirC2IS in the following areas: Project management of agile development in a traditional waterfall contract environment; Agile software development with a HMI driven approach; and Validation of systems optimizing mission flexibility.
Integrating Building Information Modelling into Construction Project Management Education in Australia: A Comprehensive Review of Industry Needs and Academic Gaps
Authors: Xavier Papuraj; Nima Izadyar; Z. Vrcelj
Year: 2025

Integrating Building Information Modelling (BIM) into Construction Project Management (CPM) curricula is crucial for preparing industry-ready professionals with the digital competencies needed in the rapidly evolving, technology-driven construction sector. This systematic literature review evaluated gaps and challenges in BIM education within CPM courses, including limited faculty training, inconsistent curricula, and insufficient hands-on, interdisciplinary collaboration opportunities for students. These deficiencies hinder consistent BIM competency development among graduates, resulting in disparities in skill levels and readiness for industry demands. This study identified essential digital management skills and BIM competencies required for effective industry practice by examining global academic research. The findings revealed that despite advancing BIM adoption, significant gaps persist in its teaching, particularly the lack of collaborative education within project management disciplines, and need for enhanced collaboration between academia and the industry to bridge the skills gap. Industry professionals and academics emphasise the deficit in BIM knowledge among project management graduates and advocate for a cohesive educational framework aligning with industry requirements, emphasising hands-on experience and interdisciplinary collaboration. This study highlighted significant gaps and opportunities for integrating Building Information Modelling (BIM) into Construction Project Management (CPM) education, with the aim to enhance the competency and employability of future construction project managers. By proposing a phased approach and a BIM educational framework tailored to the Australian context, this review recommended the integration of BIM, supported by other emerging technologies, to better align educational outcomes with industry demands. The recommendations focus on curriculum design and implementation strategies to bridge the identified gaps.
Performance measures for supporting project manager decisions
Authors: A. Bertolino; E. Marchetti; R. Mirandola
Year: 2007

Software measurement is a crucial technology along the software development process, and notably for project management. Decision-making in project management requires in fact, accurate estimations and the support of metrics to monitor and control the varying factors affecting the development process. 
 
 
 
Managers must make reliable schedule predictions and optimize personnel utilization. They therefore must be able to dynamically evaluate whether the resources assigned to a job are sufficient and whether the organization structure is adequate to meet the scheduled deadlines. 
 
 
 
To support managers in these tasks, we propose a method called Propean (for PROject PErformance ANalysis) based on the combination of classical performance engineering techniques and the Unified Modelling Language (UML). The combined application of these disciplines guarantees on one hand, a validated approach for modelling and estimating the ‘Quality of Service’ parameters when they come to the development process. Performance engineering techniques are in fact based on rigorous mathematical formalisms such as queueing networks, stochastic Petri nets and Markov models. On the other hand, the adoption of UML provides managers with an easy-to-use front-end representation of the process closer to the design notations they routinely employ. To illustrate Propean application, in this article, we model the case of a manager who must decide a release date for a product undergoing the testing phase. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Clients as drivers of innovation in the infrastructure sector: implications of hard and soft project management approaches
Authors: J. Guerrero; S. Engström
Year: 2023


Purpose
By adopting the “hard” and “soft” project management (PM) approaches from the PM-literature, this paper aims to problematize the expected role of client organizations in driving innovation in the transport infrastructure sector.


Design/methodology/approach
Addressing a large public client in Sweden, a case study design was initially applied to provide in-depth insights and perspectives of client project managers’ views and experiences of managing projects expected to drive innovation. In this paper, the concepts of “hard” and “soft” are used to discuss empirical findings on challenges associated with adopting a PM-approach for driving innovation in projects. The empirical material consists of interview data, complemented with observations and archival data.


Findings
Findings reveal challenges associated with combining hard and soft approaches, frequently demonstrating difficulties in balancing short-term project expectations with the promotion of innovation. In line with the literature, project managers note that there is a need for soft approaches to promote development and drive innovation. Yet, findings reflect a situation in which operational success criteria predominate, whereas soft approaches are not sufficiently used to create the grounds required for fostering innovation.


Originality/value
Insights are provided into how PM-approaches may impact construction innovation in the infrastructure sector, demonstrating a need for further research on the challenges and implications of applying and combining hard and soft PM-approaches.

Authors: Huilong Li; Xiping Sun
Year: 2022

In order to improve the operation efficiency of the innovation and entrepreneurship integration system of college students, this document proposes to formulate and implement the innovation and entrepreneurship integration system of college students based on “Internet technology.” The web front end is implemented by Django technology, the back end is developed by Apache server pycharm, the database is written in Python, and the database is MySQL. The system meets the expected objectives of implementing, monitoring, and managing innovation and entrepreneurship projects. How the system realizes the functions of repeated comparison projects, easy tracking projects, and fast search, and how managers can make progress at any time. By creating different account function permissions, the system realizes the login, declaration, management, and other functions required by the users of the innovation and entrepreneurship project management system. It is very suitable for college students to improve the project application, information review, and application process. At the same time, it is helpful to supervise and select teachers and greatly improve management efficiency. The test results show that the minimum values of 30, 80, and 150 simulated users in the system performance test are 4, 5, and 7, respectively. The maximum users of the system performance test model are 30, 80, 150, 64, 284, and 398. The system performance tests are taken under the conditions of 30, 80, and 150 user bandwidth, with the results of 113/min, 104/min, and 90/min. The system basically meets the daily work management standards and fully achieves the expected system design goals. The development and use of this system are related to the development of college students' innovation and entrepreneurship project management and have a clear reference for the development of innovation and entrepreneurship project management systems similar to manage workflow in the future.
