The Semantics of Project Knowledge Management
Authors: R. Dayan
Year: 2012

This paper suggests a new approach to the knowledge management aspect of project management. The approach taken constructs on the structured building of the New Product Development method that divides the development project into a multitude of predefined phases performed by pre-assigned personnel with specific professional characteristics. The model proposed correlates knowledge modules to the combination of a project phase with the profession of the project team involved in it. These modules include information necessary for the project team for the performance of the specific phase, as well as a collection of the team's experience that would enrich the company's intellectual data-base. This model would create a practical solution to the never ending quest for knowledge sharing within and between projects and would also ensure the usage of necessary standards and directives by the project teams. The originality of the model proposed is in the semantic tagging of the knowledge modules that enables navigating through the events described by project phases and teams characteristics to retrieve necessary information and document newly experienced knowledge.

Critical success factors for change management in business process management
Authors: Juliano Idogawa; F. Bizarrias; Ricardo Câmara
Year: 2023

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to determine the influence of project critical success factors (CSFs) on change management in the context of business process management (BPM). Despite widespread interest in BPM, the existing literature is insufficient in addressing the antecedents that contribute to change management in business process projects.Design/methodology/approachKey factors of change management success in BPM projects were initially identified in a systematic literature review (SLR) and were used as antecedents of change management through a structural equation modeling (SEM) with 464 business project stakeholders. Next, a neural network analysis allowed the key factors to be ranked non-linearly. Finally, a latent class analysis (LCA) was performed to determine the sample's heterogeneous groups based on their project management characteristics.FindingsProject management, top management support and technological competencies were the main CSFs identified as having positive effects on change management. The most important factor is project management, followed by top management support, which plays a crucial mediating role in enabling change management. Although relevant, technological competencies were secondary in the study. Regarding project management CSF, four heterogeneous classes of individuals were determined.Research limitations/implicationsAlthough this study provides an opportunity to observe CSFs, it does not address the need to analyze the phenomenon in different classifications of projects, regarding maturity, complexity, project management approach and other aspects that differentiate projects in a meaningful way.Practical implicationsThe study allows practitioners to understand the critical factors underlying change management and take necessary actions to manage it, recognizing that individuals have heterogeneous profiles regarding project management.Originality/valueThis study pioneeringly discusses the CSFs of change management BPM projects to enable successful change management, ranking the main factors and mapping heterogeneous profiles.
Shock! Quantifying the Impact of Core Developers' Dropout on the Productivity of OSS Projects

Year: 2024

Open Source Software (OSS) projects play a critical role in the digital infrastructure of companies and services provided to millions of people. Given their importance, understanding the resilience of OSS projects is paramount. A primary reason for OSS project failure is the shock caused by the dropout of a core developer, which can jeopardize productivity and project survival. Using a difference-in-differences (DiD) analysis, this study investigates the repercussions of this shock on the productivity of 8,234 developers identified among 9,573 OSS GitHub projects. Our findings reveal the indirect impact of the core developer's dropout. The remaining developers experienced a 20% productivity drop. This observation is troubling because it suggests that the shock might push other developers to drop out, putting the collaboration structure of the project at risk. Also, projects with higher productivity before the shock experienced a larger drop-down after the shock. This points to a tradeoff between productivity and resilience, i.e., the ability of OSS projects to recover from the dropout of a core developer. Our findings underscore the importance of a balanced approach in OSS project management, harmonizing productivity goals with resilience considerations.

Authors: Luiz Ricardo Begosso; L. H. Franco; Douglas Sanches da Cunha; Luiz Carlos Begosso
Year: 2019

This paper presents our work in progress using gamification principles to create a simulator for supporting the process of teaching Project Management concepts, specifically the Scrum methodology for the Software Engineering course. We created the SimScrumF - Scrum Simulator, a game that is focused on promoting the engagement of students in the learning process of agile concepts and the Scrum methodology. This game is based on CRPG -- Computer Role-Playing game, where the student controls the actions of a character immersed in some well-defined world. The architecture of the game is multi-language, to facilitate the learning of students from different countries. Our game simulates different circumstances where the student can "live" the different Scrum phases and roles: Product Owner, Scrum Master and member of the Development Team. When the student finishes the sprint and delivers the product to the client, the student will earn more or fewer experience points, depending on the satisfaction of the client. We will describe the details of the implementation of the project and how the student can have real situations in software development.
Evaluation of a construction management software: "Progresi"
Authors: Muhammad Aziz; T. Ghuzdewan
Year: 2023

The number of project management software developed is increasing which encourages better project management practices. Reluctance to use software may be due to a lack of understanding of software applications, considering software to be complex and impractical, or because it is perceived as expensive. This paper aims to evaluate "Progresi" as a project management software created by a local developer, specifically aimed at managing construction projects in Indonesia. A simulation is carried out based on real project data, to find out the features of the software and its potential use for construction project management. The research results show that “Progresi” produces Gantt charts, S-curves, budget tables, and resource tables. Its unique feature is that it accommodates the concept of unit price analysis for cost budgeting, provides a menu for safety management, generates daily project reports, and can be used to store photos and documents neatly and easily accessible which are useful for project audit purposes. Suggestions that can be given for improving this software are the need to provide a formal software manual, supplement it with network planning, and improve the appearance of Gantt charts and tables to make it look more professional.
Navigating complex riskscapes: the Koudiet Eddraouch GIS substation project in Sub-Saharan Africa
Authors: Sunil Kumar; Ravindra Shrivastava
Year: 2024

Learning outcomes
Risk identification and qualitative assessment are the learning outcomes.

Case overview/synopsis
The Bharat Bijlee Construction Limited (BBCL) was one of the largest construction companies operating in the power sector in India. After successfully completing a few projects in the Middle East, BBCL decided to expand its presence into African region. The BBCL was awarded a $85m contract for three sub-station projects to modernise Algeria’s power grid system by the “Shariket Karhaba Koudiet Eddraouch Spa”, a state-owned company in charge of power generation, transmission and distribution in Algeria.
The project, which is the first of BBCL in Saharan region in Algeria’s, presents many unique situations that company had never encountered before, including sand dunes, severe weather, remote locations, supply chain & logistics, strict contractual deadlines and a high level of construction risk. The project manager for BBCL was sceptic about how well his company would perform under the present project circumstances. How could he better align himself with the client, the various on-site local contractors and the numerous suppliers spread around the world?
The case emphasises the identification of various project risks that the project manager might encounter in the project. What do the PESTLE and ASCE frameworks for risk identification each represent, and how are they helpful for the project team in understanding various risks? How should the project’s qualitative risk assessment be conducted? And how can a heat map be a better tool for comprehending the criticality of each risk in the project?

Overbreak prediction of tunnels carved in rock mass through exponential smoothing: case study of tunnel in Brazil
Authors: Fábio José Generoso; A. Zingano; Irce F. G. Guimarães; Rogério Aguirre Dias
Year: 2023

Among several works, constructions in rock masses are the most complex in engineering, due to many uncertainties of the environment. Tunnel construction is a case in point. A common problem found in tunnel excavations with the use of explosives is the occurrence of overbreak beyond the boundary line of the tunnel. Many researchers worldwide have proposed forecasting techniques based on the use of regression models or machine learning, however, these require many samples and variables, such as the explosive rate and rock mass. Predicting overbreak before blasting is essential in project management, as it can modify parameters of the blasting plan, design, schedule and employee safety. Therefore, this study sought to employ an exponential smoothing model, which could predict the percentage (%) of overbreak in a tunnel section, based solely on the previous overbreak values. This time series methodology has never been used before in tunnel excavations, although it is used in the financial market. The technique was tested in one Brazilian tunnel. The model proved to be very efficient in predicting overbreak in tunnel construction, since it can be adjusted at each advance. The model can be adjusted as a function of α : where α is close to zero, the model prioritizes past events, while for α close to 1, it prioritizes recent events. The best fit occurred with α = 0.9; 0< α <1.

General task optimal planning for heterogeneous teams with precedence and compatibility constraints and its application on power grid inspection using unmanned aerial vehicles
Authors: Antonio Sojo; Iván Maza
Year: 2024

In this paper we address the optimal planification of general purpose tasks that includes a wide spectrum of situations: from project management of human teams to the coordination of an automated assembly line or the automated inspection of power grids. There exists many methods for planification. However, the vast majority of such methods are conceived for very specific problems or situations. The main consequences of this is that no general planification method exists and the rigidity that prevents the extension of current methods to new cases and applications. To address this, we propose a new truly general method ultimately based on the generalization of the Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP) that we call the Heterogeneous Multiworker Task Planification Problem (HMWTPP). The HMWTPP is then used to model and solve several classical problems included in the TSPLIB [1] library for validation. We then solve an example of an assembly line to show the capabilities and flexibility of the HMWTPP. To conclude, we adapt the HMWTPP to the planification of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), specifically to the automated inspection of power grids. This adaptation was validated by solving real-life cases for power grids in ATLAS Flight Test Center at Villacarrillo, Spain.
Applying Agile Principles in Teaching Undergraduate Information Technology Project Management
Authors: Joseph Budu
Year: 2018

This article describes how the traditional teaching and learning activities over the years have been challenged to be agile - easily adaptable to changing classroom conditions. Despite this new phenomenon, there is a perceived paucity of agile-in-teaching research. Available studies neither focus on the use of agile principles beyond delivering software developmental courses. Research in this area has not provided longitudinal insights into the evolution of agile implementation in teaching and learning. Further, they lack a comprehensive evaluation of teaching and learning activities using agile principles. This article responds using an account of how agile principles guided the delivery of an IT Project Management course to three different student cohorts over three academic years. An evaluation of these activities demonstrates skillful adaptation of the principles to achieve learning outcomes. Implications of agile-in-the-classroom research are discussed.

Crossing the Valley of Death: Managing the When, What, and How of Innovative Development Projects
Authors: C. Midler
Year: 2019

The last few decades have seen a profound transformation of innovation project management within automobile firms. During the 1990s, the product development phase was revolutionized by the deployment of heavyweight project management, project portfolio processes, and platform strategies. The 2000s saw the forces of change move upstream in the innovation process, with the development of new methodologies intended to develop and orient creativity, as well as new upfront units acting as innovation labs. However, many upfront creative endeavors still encounter an innovation valley of death when they move into the rigid and risk-averse development phase. Thus, the frontier of innovative project organization seems to be the ongoing quest to reconcile the emergence of breakthrough innovations in the upfront phase with the more rationalized nature of development phases. Based on a case study of a disruptive low-cost car, this article analyzes how the product development phase can support innovative exploration to overcome the challenge of achieving a major cost breakthrough. We analyze the specific content of the project’s innovations (fractal innovation) and the management practices and organizations used to implement them. We characterize how such innovative product development can contribute to a new economy of innovative effort within the global innovation funnel of the firm. We compare this global innovation process, where development projects play a major role as a locus for organizational learning, to the customary one in automotive firms, where learning happens essentially in front-end marketing and engineering departments.
