The role of informal control in PMO lite environments
Authors: J. Moore; Clay K. Williams; M. Sumner
Year: 2012

The Corporate Executive Board Company PMO (Project Management Office) Executive Council's report on the State of the PMO: 2010 identified six key findings, one of which was: "A Trend Toward Reduced Methodology." In line with this trend, 47% of the PMOs in the CEBC study indicated "Establishing a 'PMO Lite' function" as a top priority for 2010. PMO Lite is a configuration that has minimal staff and no direct control over the management of individual projects, but supports project managers by creating standards and serving as a project information repository.
 Viewed through the theoretical lens of control theory, the recently reported trend of cutting mandatory deliverables, making some of them optional deliverables, and moving toward a standards and repository type of PMO implies a reduction of formal controls. If organizations aim to maintain or continue to improve project management outcomes while shrinking formal controls, control theory suggests informal controls will play a vital role in achieving desired outcomes.
 This in-progress research involves a quantitative field study to examine the extent and nature of informal controls in PMO Lite environments. To ascertain whether informal controls play a more significant role in PMO Lite environments, we also will collect data from project managers in "PMO Heavy" organizations. Participating companies will be drawn from our School's Project Management Advisory Board and a web-based survey will be administered to 200-300 project managers.
 Data will be analyzed using structural equation modeling. We will relate insights gleaned on informal controls present in PMO Lite environments to the extent to which their organization meets key project management goals. We will also examine antecedents to informal controls in these organizations, to gain insights into how managers can spark and nurture informal controls that contribute to the achievement of organizational project management goals.

Year: 2024

PurposeThe study investigates the nature of an understudied yet salient relationship between perceived overqualification (POQ) and work alienation in project management. It employs relative deprivation theory to propose two dimensions of the psychological contract, i.e. relational and transactional, as underlying mediating mechanisms and how empowering leadership mitigates the adverse effects of POQ.Design/methodology/approachTo this end, in two waves, we surveyed 232 project members of three public-sector information and communication technologies (ICT) projects in Punjab, Pakistan. The data was analyzed using Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM).FindingsThe key findings are: (1) POQ leads to work alienation, (2) relational and transactional contracts mediate this relationship, and (3) empowering leadership can mitigate the adverse effects of POQ in project management settings.Originality/valueThis research adds valuable insights to the scant POQ literature in public-sector project management settings. It also contributes by identifying the mediating role of relational and transactional psychological contracts and the moderating role of empowering leadership to mitigate the adverse effects of POQ in these settings.
A Domain-specific Language for Configurable Traceability Analysis
Authors: H. Bünder; Christoph Rieger; H. Kuchen
Year: 2017

In safety-critical industries such as the aviation industry or the medical industry traceability is required by law and specific regulations. In addition, process models such as CMMI require traceability information for documentation purposes. Although creating and maintaing so-called traceability information models (TIM) takes a lot of effort, its potential for reporting development progress, supporting project management, and measuring software quality often remains untapped. The domain-specific language presented in this paper builds on an existing traceability solution and allows to define queries, metrics, and rules for companyor project-specific usage. The basis for such an analysis is a query expression to retrieve information from a TIM. Customizable metrics are then defined to compute aggregated values, which are evaluated against companyor project-specific thresholds using the rules part of the domain-specific language. The focus of this paper is to show how the combination of query, metric, and rule expressions is used to define and compute customizable analyses based on individual requirements.
Teaching Software Engineering Methods with Agile Games
Authors: A. Baumann
Year: 2020

With agile methodology and international collaboration having become industry standards not only in software engineering, how would we enable students in higher education to gather these experiences? One possible approach presents our intensive course on agile software development, applying games in engineering education, within the framework of a one-week pan-European exchange program. First, we briefly introduce the program that’s held twice a year, offering about 60 scientific intensive courses in each session. Topics come from the research fields at the partner institutions and focus on engineering, natural sciences, and mathematics. Roughly 4,000 students from 24 universities in 15 European countries participate in the program annually. Second, we report on the concept and design of our intensive course on agile software development. We apply a flipped classroom setting to acquire the basic knowledge; we use game-based learning for in-class exercises; we foster project-based and collaborative learning for practical implementation. Finally, we outline the project work in our course and share the most inspiring student projects diving into data-driven visualizations and learning analytics. Thus, the participants gain insights into the real-life application of agile project management methods and international collaboration in heterogeneous teams despite the limited course length.
Trustworthy digital twinning data platform for power infrastructure construction projects using blockchain and semantic web
Authors: Liang Zhou
Year: 2024

Power infrastructure projects are characterized by complex supply chain structures and numerous stakeholders, presenting significant challenges in maintaining data integrity and ensuring seamless integration of project information. Previous Digital Twins (DTs) and Building Information Modeling (BIM) collaboration methods lack robust mechanisms for data traceability and immutable storage, leading to potential risks such as data loss or tampering. Furthermore, existing project information exchange and data management methods do not adequately integrate diverse data types, such as project documentation, onsite environment monitoring IoT sensor readings and CAD/BIM-based design information. This research introduces a novel DT data platform prototype, utilizing Blockchain and Semantic Web technologies, to establish a trustworthy DT data environment for power infrastructure projects. This system collects heterogeneous data, including manual inputs and IoT-generated data, and processes them into RDF format on dedicated devices. The integrated data is then stored on a Permissioned Blockchain, ensuring traceability and immutability. The framework incorporates Distributed File Systems to enhance storage efficiency and features a semantic gateway that transforms heterogeneous data into RDF graphs, fostering interoperability and the potential for automated data linkage. The efficacy of this prototype was demonstrated through a case study, testing data consistency and showcasing prototype queries enhanced by Semantic Web, thus substantiating the platform’s capacity to support multidisciplinary project management.

Authors: E. Zavadskas; P. Vainiunas; Zenonas Turskis; J. Tamošaitienė
Year: 2012

Construction processes planning and effective management are extremely important for success in construction business. Head of a design must be well experienced in initiating, planning, and executing of construction projects. Therefore, proper assessment of design projects' managers is a vital part of construction process. The paper deals with an effective methodology that might serve as a decision support aid in assessing project managers. Project managers' different characteristics are considered to be more or less important for the effective management of the project. Qualifying of managers is based on laws in force and sustainability of project management involving determination of attributes value and weights by applying analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and expert judgement methods. For managers' assessment and decision supporting is used additive ratio assessment method (ARAS). The model, presented in this study, shows that the three different methods combined (ARAS method aggregated together with the AHP method and the expert judgement method) is an effective tool for multiple criteria decision aiding. As a tool for the assessment of the developed model, was developed multiple criteria decision support system (MCDSS) weighting and assessment of ratios (WEAR) software. The solution results show that the created model, selected methods and MCDSS WEAR can be applied in practice as an effective decision aid.
The Decline of Project Management Maturity Models: A Review Paper
Authors: M. A. Karim; Ong Tze San; H. Muhammad
Year: 2023

Many organizations today utilize projects as a strategic tool to achieve business objectives. As a result, project success becomes critical, making project management a crucial function in an organization. The project success rate globally has not been improving, and project management maturity models (PMMM) are now being further scrutinized. The PMMM is struggling to claim its value toward project success despite its success in the IT industry since its inception in late 1980s. However, since 2014, its publications have been on a decline. This paper attempts to investigate the reason behind its decline. Based on content analysis, information from previous studies was gathered and then combined so as to identify the possible cause of this decline. Three remaining issues leading to its deterioration were detected. It is -PMMM too-best-practices-centred type of model, inflexible, too complex, and plagued as an in adequate assessment tool. These issues have caused the PMMM to be a “hard sell” to the industries. The outcome derived contributes to a better understanding of the issues causing the decline of the PMMM in publication. Although once considered a successful tool for improving project success rate, the PMMM may become defunct in current project management environments without continuous research and improvement.
The Mediating Effect of Organizational Stress on Organizational Culture and Time Management: A Comparative Study With Two Universities
Authors: Hikmet Yaşar; Mustafa Sağsan
Year: 2020

This research was designed to investigate whether organizational stress had an intermediary role in the effect of Hofstede cultural dimensions on time management. Near East University from Cyprus, which represents the individual culture, and Hakkari University from Turkey representing the collectivist culture were selected for the research analyses. In all, 638 administrative and academic members from both universities were interviewed face-to-face on a voluntary basis, and data were collected by the simple random sampling method. The research findings suggest that time should be managed after identifying the type of culture—individualistic or collectivist—to decrease the level of stress experienced by university staff. In other words, Hofstede’s cultural dimension has an impact on time management, and organizational stress has a partial mediation effect on this dimension. Although the variables in the study have been studied in the literature together with many different factors, Hofstede is significant in terms of determining the role of organizational stress in the effect of cultural dimensions on time management. The effectiveness of Hofstede’s cultural dimensions through organizational stress in time management allows business and project plans to be carried out in a way that manages individual, team or departmental performances taking into account the organizational stress elements. It is considered that this study will particularly be effective in medicine, project management, and independent auditing.

Year: 2013

Product and service development is critical because new products and services are becoming the nexus of competition for many companies. Product and service development is thus a potential source of competitive advantage for many companies. Thus, product and service development is among the essential process for success, survival, and renewal of companies, particularly in competitive markets. Nowadays the design and development of new products and services or modification of existent ones (redesign) is a key and fundamental element to enhance innovation and competitiveness of industrial companies. This paper presents the Business-Product-Service Portfolio Management (BPSPM) as an approach to manage the business portfolio for versioning and variation of the products and services development in order to succeed a business into more marketable set of products and services, jointly capable of fulfilling the stakeholders needs. BPSPM is a framework that encompassing the versioning and variation of products and services development concurrently for the products, services and their performing organisations analysis over perspectives of the strategic marketing, project management, engineering design and operations management. There are five issues that the company must consider in BPSPM: the activities of relationship between global market and company; the activities of relationship between the providing company and stakeholders, representing a product-oriented and a service-oriented view respectively; the design activities of versioning and variety of the products and services; the specifications activities for versioning and variety of the products and services throughout all stages of life cycle, regarding the product and service life cycle and the marketing and sales life cycle; the representation activities of specifications and the elements of systems architecture for versioning and variety of the products and services throughout all stages of life cycle in manner of the hierarchy and heterarchy structures. The BPSPM framework uses the concepts of System Engineering, Concurrent Engineering, Service Engineering, Project Management and Business Portfolio presented in five dimensions, being Business dimension, Outcome dimension, Variety dimension, Life dimension and Structure dimension. The framework is described with SysML block definition diagrams.

Year: 2020

Most organizations use IT projects as vehicles to implement the IT strategy which contributes to achieving organizational strategic objectives and goals. Agile project management has been a potential solution to deliver successful IT projects instead of the traditional waterfall approach. This potential has resulted in organizations adopting agile project management to deliver IT projects on time and realise benefits. However, auditors especially those whose experience lies with more traditional and system development life cycle controls are struggling with how to audit agile projects. The problem addressed in this article is lack of an audit framework for auditing agile projects to ensure IT project success. The purpose of this article is to present the proposed conceptual framework for auditing agile projects that are implemented using Scrum methodology. The framework introduces audit processes in each process of the Scrum methodology. The quantitative research method used online survey questionnaire to validate the conceptual framework amongst IT professionals in South Africa. The data were analyzed using SPSS 26.0. The research revealed that there was a significant correlation between the identified audit processes and agile project success. This research emphasizes on the need to take into account auditing agile project from its initiation to closure. This article contributes to the body of knowledge with regard to project auditing. Auditors can use the proposed framework to audit agile projects which are implemented using Scrum methodology to ensure successful completion of IT projects.

Authors: R. Verwey; R. Claassen; M. Rutgers; L. D. de Witte
Year: 2008

This article describes the implementation of an Electronic Nursing Record (ENR) in Maasland Hospital (Orbis Medical and Healthcare group) in Sittard, the Netherlands. Through analysis of documents, structured interviews and participatory observation, a study was made of the plans prior to the introduction of the ENR, how the process proceeded, which enhancing and constraining factors influenced the process and how the nursing staff experienced the introduction of the ENR. The implementation of the system took place in 2006 and 2007. The selection and design of the system was carried out first, followed by a pilot phase. After thorough review and adjustment, the introduction of the ENR in the other wards of the hospital followed according to plan. The implementation process was carried out by several nurses in different roles (project management, project group members, key-users and teachers). The introduction of the system had two objectives: saving time by promoting efficiency and quality improvement by the introduction of standardization in documentation and the use of nursing care plans. The study indicates, however, that no time-efficiency was achieved by using the ENR so far. This had an adverse effect on the acceptance of the system by the nurses. The nurses were positive about the set-up of the implementation process, especially the contribution of the project group, the key-users on the ward and the resources which were made available (the staffing, external expertise and training).
Managing the Development of a Sustainable Digital Village
Authors: Yudi Agusta
Year: 2023

Area development is a critical issue that has a strong relation to economic, social, and environmental performances in an area. Boosting area development can be achieved using digitalization. However, digitalization is predominantly available for city life. Rural areas or villages are often left out, because of infrastructure deficits. With enough infrastructure support, rural areas in developed countries have also faced social problems such as population drops. Therefore, a comprehensive solution regarding the use of digitalization to boost rural area development is needed. This concept is often called the digital village. This paper proposes a concept for managing and evaluating the development of a sustainable digital village. The concept is developed based on the reviewed aims, expected deliverables, and existing concerns in previous digital village implementations. To justify the model, management theories, practices and available technologies are also reviewed. The proposed concept for digital village management is also compared to the concepts of enterprise architecture and project management, to evaluate its usability. Sustainability evaluations are performed regarding the three-bottom line of evaluation and the use of ICT resources in the integration of ICT into human resource management (HRM) and supply chain management (SCM). A development model and evaluation method are also proposed to make sure that digital village development and evaluation can be conducted efficiently.
