[Context] The COVID-19 pandemic has had a disruptive impact on how people work and collaborate across all global economic sectors, including the software business. While remote working is not new for software engineers, forced Work-from-home situations to come with both constraints, limitations, and opportunities for individuals, software teams and software companies. As the "new normal" for working might be based on the current state of Work From Home (WFH), it is useful to understand what has happened and learn from that. [Objective] The goal of this study is to gain insights on how their WFH environment impacts software projects and software companies. We are also interested in understanding if the impact differs between software startups and established companies. [Method] We conducted a global-scale, cross-sectional survey during spring and summer 2021. Our results are based on quantitative and qualitative analysis of 297 valid responses. [Results] We observed a mixed perception of the impact of WFH on software project management, resilience, and innovation. Certain patterns on WFH, control and coordination mechanisms and collaborative tools are observed globally. We find that team, agility and leadership are the three most important factors for achieving resilience during the pandemic. Although startups do not perceive the impact of WFH differently, there is a difference between engineers who work in a small team context and those who work in a large team context. [Conclusion] The result suggests a contingency approach in studying and improving WFH practices and environment in the future software industry.

Authors: Bharathwaj Sankaran; William J. O'brien; Paul M. Goodrum; N. Khwaja; Fernanda Leite; Joshua Johnson
Year: 2016

The use of information modeling and digital data for highway projects has seen a considerable surge over the past decade. These tools have enhanced the predictability and performance of several tasks in the project delivery process. This study explores the implementation of civil integrated management (CIM) practices in four case studies and documents the lessons learned to enhance CIM inclusion in project delivery processes. CIM encompasses the system of interdependent technologies and practices that facilitate collection, management, and utilization of digital information for project delivery and asset management processes. CIM is an emerging practice, and studies concerning integration of CIM technologies with project life cycle are limited. Through case studies of four highway projects, this study emphasizes the standards and processes that played a vital role in utilizing CIM technologies for contract documentation, design coordination, construction automation, and project management. The two small-scale projects investigated as part of this study demonstrate that pilot initiatives could be successfully carried out to harvest best practices in overcoming contract and legal challenges while embracing new technologies in agencies’ workflow. The two large-scale projects indicate that with the owner’s participation and expertise, the role of CIM technologies can be further enhanced toward performing project management functions. The lessons learned from the case studies are organized to provide a synthesis of process and organizational considerations that would enhance the agencywide adoption of CIM technologies.

Authors: Ioana Raluca Goldbach; Liliana Marinescu; Adrian Cosmin Baicu
Year: 2023

The economic value of all projects is well known nationally and internationally, yet many economic actors fail to give enough voice to project experts at the strategic level. The climate emergency, the global pandemic, the decisions of the European Commission and the European Parliament, and the post-Brexit environment have created a perfect storm when companies plan their mid- and long-term strategies. For this competition, ADI ITI Danube Delta built the first national strategy development tool. Under the motto of this mechanism, below I present the methodology of knowledge management and the projects developed in the ITI Danube Delta region.

Semantic Formative E-Assessment for Project Management Professionals
Authors: M. Dascalu; C. Bodea; Iuliana Marin
Year: 2015

The paper presents the module for formative e-assessment in a complex learning management system. The module implements the automatic evaluation of answers to open questions and provides feedback related to further reading or joining suitable expert communities. The evaluation of the questions is accomplished using diverse ontology-related technologies and open-source tools, such as GATE, WordNet, Text2Onto, OpenNLP, Jena API, Alignment API, Protégé. A use-case scenario is offered for trainees willing to obtain a project management professional certification. The challenges of integration and optimal exploitation of such a module into a learning management system are underlined, stressing the fact that the mapping between concepts which have to be evaluated through assessment and professional competences standards has not currently a straightforward solution. Thus, we could say the system-based solution we envisioned is both technology-driven and need-driven: based on combining recent semantic technologies, it satisfies the experts' urge to provide competency-based learning aligned to well-established standards which reflect the market requirements and the trainees' need of having an intelligent tool helping them to prepare for open-questions based exams, which are currently less supported by IT.

Year: 2023

In today's globalized and interconnected world, the impact of global crises poses increasing risks to the economic situation of each country in particular. The study of cross-border cooperation in the context of current crisis processes allows us to identify new risks and ways to minimize them. The purpose of the study is to analyze ways to optimize the management of cross-border projects in the context of the impact of global economic crises. Scenario planning, SWOT analysis, statistical and mathematical research methods are used in the course of the study. The article discusses the peculiarities of managing cross-border projects on the example of the Precarpathian National University in the context of the impact of global economic crises. Using the example of the university, the author analyzes the implementation of cross-border projects for the period of 2020-2022, which occurred during two crises. The first global economic crisis is caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the second regional crisis is caused by the war in Ukraine. The risks faced by the grantee in implementing international programs are identified. The study analyzed four different cross-border projects, which made it possible to assess all the risks in more detail and identify existing problems. For a detailed analysis, the medium-sized PrePOD project was selected, which operated from 2020 to 2022 and received an average amount of funding. The strengths and weaknesses of cross-border cooperation were assessed. The study pays special attention to the role of the Precarpathian National University, emphasizing the need for financial risk management, effective communication, compliance with the law, and adaptation of national legislation to European standards. The paper formulates strategies for improving the management of cross-border projects in the context of global crises, and proposes to create research centers to improve the management of grant activities. It has been determined that flexibility and communication are the international factors that can reduce the impact of crisis processes on the implementation of international cooperation.
Development life cycle management: a multiproject experiment
Authors: D. Dalcher; Oddur Benediktsson; Helgi Thorbergsson
Year: 2005

A variety of life cycle models for software systems development are generally available. However, it is generally difficult to compare and contrast the methods and very little literature is available to guide developers and managers in making choices. Moreover in order to make informed decisions developers require access to real data that compares the different models and the results associated with the adoption of each model. This paper describes an experiment in which fifteen software teams developed comparable software products using four different development approaches (V-model, incremental, evolutionary and extreme programming). Extensive measurements were taken to assess the time, quality, size, and development efficiency of each product. The paper presents the experimental data collected and the conclusions related to the choice of method, its impact on the project and the quality of the results as well as the general implications to the practice of systems engineering project management.

The Adoption of Agile Management Practices in a Traditional Project Environment: An IT/IS Case Study
Authors: H. Wells; D. Dalcher; H. Smyth
Year: 2015

Despite the growing interest in the usage and application of Agile Project Management Methodologies (PMMs), there is only scant research examining how and why organisations select agile approaches for managing and delivering Information Technology /Information Systems (IT/IS) projects. This paper reports on the findings of such research conducted within the context of a large technology-focused case organisation. The findings identify significant variance between business lines, specifically between product development and software development functions and their ability to follow agile guidelines. Generally across the organisation there was limited evidence of tailoring to context, an important organisational success factor, yet there was a more significant level of tailoring and responsiveness to client needs and wishes. Overall, there was a lack of clarity about the location of the decoupling points following the scoping of the project. Recommendations therefore require further attention and understanding of the implications of new practices employed by organisations, not least by senior management and for additional research underpinning such discovery.
Reducing Friction in Software Development
Authors: P. Avgeriou; Philippe B Kruchten; R. Nord; Ipek Ozkaya; C. Seaman
Year: 2016

Software is being produced so fast that its growth hinders its sustainability. Technical debt, which encompasses internal software quality, evolution and maintenance, reengineering, and economics, is growing such that its management is becoming the dominant driver of software engineering progress. It spans the software engineering life cycle, and its management capitalizes on recent advances in fields such as source code analysis, quality measurement, and project management. Managing technical debt will become an investment activity applying economic theories. It will effectively address the architecture level and will offer specific processes and tools employing data science and analytics to support decision making. It will also be an essential part of the software engineering curriculum. Getting ahead of the software quality and innovation curve will inevitably involve establishing technical-debt management as a core software engineering practice. This article is part of a special issue on the Future of Software Engineering.

In this study, the “iron triangle,” which also covers quality management and people management, is compared to the effectiveness of an IT project. To determine the key aspects of project design that have a major impact on project success, a survey was administered to numerous project teams working in Pakistani financial institutions. Project planning, scope management, time management, cost management, quality management, and people management were some of the areas of project management that were the focus of the study. To gather data, a questionnaire was created based on the theoretical frameworks of stakeholder theory and resource dependency theory. It was discovered through observation and data analysis that the management of different IT project components has a big impact on the project's success. To further explore the management elements that were not examined in this study and the procedures that have the greatest influence on project outcomes, more research is however required. The necessity of successfully managing project components to maximize the possibility of a successful project completion is highlighted by this study, which offers useful insights for IT project managers and stakeholders.

The digital transformation of Ukrainian construction and design enterprises
 represents a multifaceted process characterized by both challenges and prospects. In the
 midst of a war and many critical changes in the construction industry, Ukrainian
 construction and design enterprises are at a crossroads, and are trying to figure out
 whether it is necessary to switch to digital technologies in such difficult times in
 order to remain competitive. Today, there are a number of complexities associated with
 the digital transformation of construction and engineering enterprises, so the article
 examines the obstacles that are encountered. Technological advances are a key imperative
 for transformation as businesses grapple with the need to adapt to changes that can
 transform project management and design methodologies. Barriers to change are cost,
 legislation, experts, compatibility with existing software, awareness of the advantages
 and disadvantages of VIM, corporate culture, external and internal business processes,
 the existing management structure and management of enterprises, demand, project scale,
 technologies, personnel skills, the need for additional training, contract terms and
 existing industry standards. However, amid the challenges, there are significant
 opportunities. By exploring the obstacles and opportunities, the paper aims to provide a
 framework for further research and offer practical insights that can guide businesses in
 using digital technologies for sustainable growth and competitiveness in the evolving
 construction and design industry.
