Developing a training program to enhance conservation awareness and attitudes among Thai hotel cooks: A comparative study
Authors: Pongsak Songpranam; Chaiyasit Punfujinda; Krittin Chumkaew; P. Nuangchalerm
Year: 2023

Thai cuisine, a reflection of the nation's cultural identity, has evolved over time and embodies the way of life, thoughts, and mindset of the Thai people. This study aims to develop a training program designed to heighten participants' understanding of conservation issues and assess changes in their conservation attitudes pre and post-training. The research, conducted among 354 Thai hotel cooks, reveals a fundamental challenge in Thai food preparation: the lack of standardized conservation and marketing practices. This encompasses basic culinary skills and regional cooking variations. Culinary schools often emphasize their own culinary philosophies, further exacerbating the issue. Results from the training program indicate that business owners significantly improved their cooking practices, adhered to the National Standard for Thai food sanitation, catered to dietary needs, and embraced authentic Thai cuisine. The Delphi method facilitated consensus on the appropriateness of the training program, and 100 participants reported enhanced project management skills and culinary expertise. The participants expressed satisfaction with the trainers' expertise and communication skills. This research has implications for training programs aimed at promoting awareness of traditional conservation issues and fostering conservation attitudes in the context of Thai food preparation.
Scrum in Classroom Collaborations: A Quasi-Experimental Study
Authors: Erin Friess
Year: 2022

Scrum is an increasingly important project management framework that has had limited study in technical communication (TC) and TC classrooms. While research has found student collaborations to be both frustrating and challenging, it has found Scrum to be a scaffolding framework that can improve student interactions and outcomes. Therefore, to determine whether Scrum affects the peer assessments of collaborative teams as well as project grades, this quasi-experimental classroom study compares the midproject and postproject peer assessments and grades of advanced TC students who used Scrum as a framework for collaboration against those students who did not use Scrum in their collaborations. The study found that students who used Scrum rated their team members significantly higher on some peer assessment measures and earned significantly higher grades than did those students who did not use Scrum. Additionally, students in the Scrum protocol reported satisfaction with their group experience broadly but did not report satisfaction with Scrum itself.

A persistent problem in asynchronous online courses is low user retention. Compared to conventional courses, participants require some form of reward or intrinsic motivation to complete these courses which do not have set deadlines or timetables. To remedy this, many online course platforms will send email reminders to participants registered in the course to prompt them to continue their participation. This study is focused on understanding the efficacy of such practices in motivating students to continue a course they would otherwise neglect or drop. This study focuses on selected courses on the online asynchronous learning platform open.uom.lk. The participants of an online asynchronous Project Management course who had enrolled but not completed the course were separated into two groups; students who enrolled but have not started the course and students who started the course but have stopped for over a month. The students of each group were divided into test and control groups, where the test group was sent prompts by email to continue the course which included a link to the course page Using user activity data from the platform the progress of students over the month prompts were sent, and the month after were analysed, and the efficacy of sending email prompts was calculated. 4.45% of the students from the test group began participating in the course again as compared to 2% of the students in the test group. 32 students (0.7%) completed the course in the weeks during and after the email prompts were sent while none of the students in the control group completed the course. This shows sending email prompts has a positive impact on increasing participation in the course.
Getting things done in academia: the challenges with institutional bureaucracy and the need for project management
Authors: Angela Goldenstein; Elizabeth Wirtz; E. Berger
Year: 2018

This paper presents a case study at a large Midwestern university where agile project management influenced the outcome of change initiatives in an Engineering School (ES). Agile project management encompasses several skills including leadership, communication, organization, conflict management, and the ability to navigate ambiguity. While this skill set is common in many industries, it is very uncommon in higher education. By infusing this diverse way of thinking into transformational efforts aimed at enhancing the student experience, we have disrupted the traditional academic hierarchy, seen greater momentum and greater initial success, and created a new model for “getting things done” in academic organizations.As part of the REvolutionizing engineering and computer science Departments (RED) grant, we aim to improve the culture in the ES. To accomplish this, we have formed grassroots teams consisting of faculty, staff, and students that launch experiments aimed at improving students’ professional skills development & departmental culture. This effort has consisted of ~50 participants across 12 teams for three semesters. We did not initially foresee the level of oversight & management needed to run such an effort or the bureaucratic barriers to operationalizing the grassroots teams and experiments. In response to this environment, agile project management was introduced half-way through the first set of experiments. Through observations, surveys, interviews, and outcomes of the experiments themselves, we have characterized the impact of adding agile project management to this program.Our early results indicate that progress can be expedited by an agile project management skill set, and more specifically, the number of experiments launched through grassroots efforts has increased by a factor of 7 semester-over-semester after adding agile project management. Additionally, 92% of participants reported being satisfied with the experience with an average rating of 4 out of 5. Lastly, the value that project managers add was a key theme cited in end-of-semester surveys and interviews. Our early success metrics suggest that this critical industry skill set, generally lacking in academic settings, can make a significant difference in the success of departmental initiatives. We believe that propagating agile project management more broadly in academia can positively influence productivity and expedite the rate of change by re-thinking traditional academic methods of “getting things done”.

Project Management and Education
Authors: Angela Marie Even
Year: 2024

The importance of project management in education has become increasingly evident in our evolving technology-ridden lives. Educators are required to manage complex projects involving multiple stakeholders, resources, and deadlines. These requirements make project management methods of particular interest to educators looking for practical tools. Using project management principles, educators can effectively teach and improve their students' learning outcomes. Project management gives students valuable skills, allowing them to succeed personally and professionally. This merger can contribute to the long-term success of students and the marriage of project management fundamentals, methods, and practices with academics.
The Role of Project Managers as Improvement Agents in Project-Based Organizations
Authors: E. Sundqvist
Year: 2019

We propose that the project manager is implicitly expected to participate in and contribute to continuous improvement in project-based organizations (PBOs). This article explores how project management literature treats the project manager in relation to improving overall PBO performance. The results, supported by case study insights, indicate implicit expectations of the project manager to contribute to organization-level PBO improvement. We argue that if organization-level improvement should be part of project management practice in PBOs, as promoted in project management literature, the role of improvement agent needs to be formalized for the project manager.

Authors: Jing Zhang; Lei Sun; Yu Liu; Hongyi Wang; N. Sun; Puhong Zhang
Year: 2017

Background Electronic data capture (EDC) systems have been widely used in clinical research, but mobile device–based electronic data capture (mEDC) system has not been well evaluated. Objective The aim of our study was to evaluate the feasibility, advantages, and challenges of mEDC in data collection, project management, and telemonitoring in a randomized controlled trial (RCT). Methods We developed an mEDC to support an RCT called “Telmisartan and Hydrochlorothiazide Antihypertensive Treatment (THAT)” study, which was a multicenter, double-blinded, RCT, with the purpose of comparing the efficacy of telmisartan and hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) monotherapy in high-sodium-intake patients with mild to moderate hypertension during a 60 days follow-up. Semistructured interviews were conducted during and after the trial to evaluate the feasibility, advantage, and challenge of mEDC. Nvivo version 9.0 (QSR International) was used to analyze records of interviews, and a thematic framework method was used to obtain outcomes. Results The mEDC was successfully used to support the data collection and project management in all the 14 study hospitals. A total of 1333 patients were recruited with support of mEDC, of whom 1037 successfully completed all 4 visits. Across all visits, the average time needed for 141 questions per patient was 53 min, which were acceptable to both doctors and patients. All the interviewees, including 24 doctors, 53 patients, 1 clinical research associate (CRA), 1 project manager (PM), and 1 data manager (DM), expressed their satisfaction to nearly all the functions of the innovative mEDC in randomization, data collection, project management, quality control, and remote monitoring in real time. The average satisfaction score was 9.2 (scale, 0-10). The biggest challenge came from the stability of the mobile or Wi-Fi signal although it was not a problem in THAT study. Conclusions The innovative mEDC has many merits and is well acceptable in supporting data collection and project management in a timely manner in clinical trial.
Model-Based Groupware Solution for Distributed Real-Time Collaborative 4D Planning through Teamwork
Authors: Wei Zhou; Panagiotis Georgakis; D. Heesom; Xiandong Feng
Year: 2012

AbstractConstruction planning plays a fundamental role in construction project management that requires teamwork among planners from a diverse range of disciplines and in geographically dispersed working situations. Model-based four-dimensional (4D) computer-aided design (CAD) groupware, though considered a possible approach to supporting collaborative planning, is still short of effective collaborative mechanisms for teamwork because of methodological, technological, and social challenges. Targeting this problem, this paper proposes a model-based groupware solution to enable a group of multidisciplinary planners to perform real-time collaborative 4D planning across the Internet. In light of the interactive definition method, and its computer-supported collaborative work (CSCW) design analysis, this paper discusses the realization of interactive collaborative mechanisms from software architecture, application mode, and data exchange protocol. These mechanisms have been integrated into a groupware solution...
Implementing the Hammock-EFL Methodology for Project Management and Parallel Programming: (research in progress)
Authors: M. Goldstein; O. Eliezer; D. Dayan
Year: 2021

∗ In this paper we present the Python implementation of the Hammock-EFL methodology, whose model is a combination of project schedule design and parallel program design. Actually, it is a useful combination of two paradigms taken from two different disciplines: the intrinsically parallel Hammock Cost Techniques for project management and the Flexible Algorithms’ approach to parallel programming and computation, which has been implemented by EFL (Embedded Flexible Language). We show that the underlying hierarchical structure of a project (and its schedule), as well as that of a program, is essentially the same. We argue that this methodology, as a design tool, will allow the project designer, as well as the programmer, to think in a more holistic way, leading to the design of a time-efficient program, or project schedule. Now, that we have a tool based on the Hammock-EFL methodology, we will be able to do an in-depth investigation of the run time performance of programs written using it.
OPTIMIZATION SCHEDULING PROJECT REHABILITATION BUILDING AND HALL DEKRANASDA AND KALIMANTAN BARAT MUSEUM FENCE USING CRITICAL PATH METHOD (CPM)
Authors: Layla Mutiara Halim; Lusiana Lusiana; Safarudin M Nuh
Year: 2024

This study investigates the optimization of project scheduling using the Critical Path Method (CPM) in construction projects. Focusing on the Building Rehabilitation Project, Dekranasda Hall, and Kalimantan Barat Museum Fence, the research aims to reduce project duration without altering costs. CPM is employed to map out activities in a network, identifying the critical path to enhance time management. The initial project duration was 249 days. By breaking down work items and increasing the number of workers in critical activities, the duration was reduced to 125 days. Optimization involved dividing tasks into manageable segments and determining the appropriate workforce through trial and error. The study demonstrates that effective project scheduling and resource allocation can significantly reduce completion time, highlighting CPM's value in project management for achieving efficiency and meeting deadlines. The findings emphasize the importance of detailed planning, dependency logic, and continuous monitoring to optimize construction project timelines.
Construction Project Crashing with Uncertain Correlated Normal and Crash Task Durations and Costs: An Integrated Stochastic Practical Approach
Authors: D. Kantianis
Year: 2023

The research aims at developing an integrated mathematical spreadsheet modelling approach for the practical solution of the stochastic crashing problem in construction project planning. The proposed project crashing methodology is founded upon a synthesis of traditional PERT/CPM network scheduling, Monte Carlo simulation, and linear programming. The main contribution of the introduced model to the existing project management literature is that it produces frequency histograms and relevant statistics for optimum project crash make span and additional cost for project compression, by assuming uncertainty and correlation simultaneously for both normal and crash durations and direct expenses of project activities. The implementation of the model is automated in Microsoft Excel© through VBA coding. The research is anticipated to assist built environment academics and professionals to improve decision-making effectiveness in the planning of construction projects.
Infrastructural projects implementations challenges in Ghana
Authors: R. A. Amponsah
Year: 2013

The lack of efficient systems in the Ministries, Departments and Agencies to analyze and report on both Government and donor funded infrastructural projects has hampered the rate of infrastructural project implementation in the country. To make matters worse, the challenge of MDAs having to deal with different reporting rules, multi DP procurement processes and lending conditions have been overwhelming, eating up scarce administrative resources that could be put to better use. This study sought to investigate the role of administrative, leadership, and project management competencies in infrastructural project implementation challenges in Ghana. It provides appropriate recommendations to relevant stakeholders, such as the government, Private Sector, development partners, and relevant NGOs. The research covered six key sectors, namely: the Ministries of Finance and Economic Planning; Roads and Highways; Local Government and Rural Development; Energy; Transport; and Water Resources; Sanitation, Works and Housing. It engaged six key development partners (both bi lateral and multilateral agencies) namely the World Bank; Chinese Republic, African Development Bank; German Development Agency (KfW); the French Development Agency, and the European Union Delegation. The Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning (MoFEP) was the main fulcrum of this study.
Construction Management Applications: Challenges in Developing Execution Control Plans
Authors: Nilufer Onder; Amlan Mukherjee; Pei Tang
Year: 2010


 
 The objective of automated planners is to synthesize sequences of actions (called policies in MDP frameworks) that will achieve a predetermined goal given a fully or partially observable formal representation of the domain. In contrast, the main characteristic of project management is the greater emphasis on plan execution under uncertainty as opposed to plan synthesis. This paper explains the need to transition from automated plan synthesis to plan management and identifies the challenges for the planning and scheduling communities using examples of construction projects.

Authors: Tracy Chippendale
Year: 2019

OBJECTIVE
Although half of falls occur outdoors, existing prevention programs focus primarily on risk factors for indoor falls. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of the Stroll Safe outdoor fall prevention program and to obtain feedback to refine the program and research methods to plan a larger scale study.


METHOD
A quasi-experimental design (N = 24) was used. A fidelity checklist, attendance records, a focus group, and a reflective log were used to conduct a process, resource, and project management assessment. Preliminary outcomes were examined using fall calendars and standardized measures of fall prevention strategy use.


RESULTS
Needed modifications were determined. Preliminary outcomes reveal increased use of fall prevention strategies and decreased stumbles, trips, slips, and falls outdoors among program participants.


CONCLUSION
The Stroll Safe program is an innovative new program that is feasible to implement among community-dwelling older adults. Further study is warranted.
Rethinking lessons learned capturing: using storytelling, root cause analysis, and collaboration engineering to capture lessons learned about project management
Authors: Tanja Buttler; S. Lukosch
Year: 2012

Lessons learned are one way to retain experience and knowledge in project-based organizations, helping them to prevent reinventing the wheel or repeating past mistakes. However, there are several challenges that make capturing lessons learned a challenging endeavor. These include capturing knowledge about project management, allowing learning from mistakes, and handling the group processes within the project team. We introduce a novel approach combining elements from storytelling, root cause analysis, and collaboration engineering to address these challenges, and report on first experiences utilizing this approach in a project in the oil and gas industry.
Passion and Confidence in Success as Unaccounted Factors for ICB 4.0 IPMA Model
Authors: Dmytro Lukianov; Yuri Primak; V. Gogunskii; O. Kolesnikov
Year: 2021

The article proposes to consider an approach to the analysis of complex systems using elements of decision theory and game theory. This approach is a continuation of the comprehensive approach to the analysis of the internal relationships of the structure of the model of individual competencies of project managers, proposed by the International Project Management Association, carried out using various methods and tools by the authors for over 10 years. As a basis for the analysis, the adjacency matrix for the Markov model is used, built on the basis of the analysis of the content of the IPMA ICB 4.0 standard, which is further considered as a «decision matrix». The number of connections between the elements of the model is interpreted as the degree of «power» of the «reaction of nature» to the use of one or another element as a «strategy of the players» in the analysis of cooperative games. It is proposed to consider such criteria for choosing control strategies, which are based on the use of modeling the values of a pair of interrelated parameters «gambler's position» − «cautious gambler's position», used in a number of decision-making criteria in game theory. Under the «passion» is proposed to consider the degree of confidence in the success of the project. The relationship between the degree of such «passion» and the level of significance of specific elements of the competence of the project manager of the ICB model is shown. A hypothesis is proposed about the relationship between emotional and technical intelligence in the success of project management and the importance of taking this parameter into account when forming project teams
