Fuzzy extended earned value management: A novel perspective
Authors: M. Salari; M. Bagherpour; Afshin Kamyabniya
Year: 2014

5 Abstract. In project management context, the Earned Value Management (EVM) is a well-known technique. Despite its popularity, the standard EVM suffers from the absence of some features that require being focused further on to make this method more efficient. This paper is addressing such features specifically the financial aspects of cost control system. These aspects that have been absent in the standard EVM include the time value of money, delay in client payment and contractor cash flow in uncertain environment. The proposed model here utilizes fuzzy sets to deal with the uncertain conditions of real projects. It attempts to extend the theoretical framework of EVM to evaluate and control the financial performance of project and provide a new estimation of project total cost in presence of uncertainty. Finally, 6 case studies are presented to demonstrate how the proposed model can be implemented in real case projects. 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13

Targeting Ischemia Reperfusion in Intestinal Transplantation by COX-2 Inhibition-A S.M.A.R.T Approach?
Authors: A. Pascher
Year: 2016

L us start from the end: Schildberg et al 1 present a study in this issue in which they assess the impact of ex vivo nonselective, preferential, and selective cyclooxygnase (COX)-2 inhibitors on the ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) in an orthotopic rat intestinal transplant (ITx) model. They conclude that the administration of the preferential COX-2 inhibitor meloxicam during ex vivo persufflation exerted most favorable results and thus may represent a new anti-inflammatory concept for improving early allograft and patient recovery and may exert long-term effects after ITx. The authors compared various COX-2 inhibitors with regard to their potential toxic side effects and the best application route. By using the substances ex vivo, cytotoxic effects which occured during in vivo application were reported to be reduced. Whether the described effects reflect a stronger potency of preferential COX‐2 inhibitors for this purpose than selective COX‐2 inhibitors in general cannot be deducted from this study, because only individual compounds were asessed. However, the presented study may be useful to foster interest of the intestine transplant community in the potentially beneficial use of COX inhibitors and the issue of adressing IRI per se. By the way, this intervention is said to be low-cost, easy, and safe. If we translate that into project management, the following question arises: Is this specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, time-related (S.M.A.R.T.)? As a reminder— SMART is a mnemonic acronym which defines criteria to guide project management. Translated into the setting of adressing a clinical question, wemay ask: Is the aim of applying an antiinflammatory drug ex-vivo to ameliorate IRI, such as a COX-2 inhibitor, Specific (or Significant), Measurable (or Manageable), Achievable (or Appropriate), Realistic (or Relevant), and Time-related? Intestinal transplantation has developed tremendously over the past 25 years. Advances in various fields, such as operative strategies, immunosuppression, post transplant intensive

Year: 2019

Background: Developers face challenges in building high-quality research software due to its inherent complexity. These challenges can reduce the confidence users have in the quality of the result produced by the software. Use of a defined software development process, which divides the development into distinct phases, results in improved design, more trustworthy results, and better project management. Aims: This paper focuses on gaining a better understanding of the use of software development process for research software. Method: We surveyed research software developers to collect information about their use of software development processes. We analyze whether and demographic factors influence the respondents' use of and perceived value in defined process. Results: Based on 98 responses, research software developers appear to follow a defined software development process at least some of the time. The respondents also have a strong positive perception about the value of following processes. Conclusions: To produce high-quality and reliable research software, which is critical for many research domains, research software developers must follow a proper software development process. The results indicate a positive perception of value about using defined development processes that should lead to both short-term benefits through improved results and long-term benefits through more maintainable software.

Employing Knowledge Transfer to Support is Implementation in SMEs
Authors: M. Wynn; P. Turner; H. Abas; R. Shen
Year: 2009

Information systems strategy is an increasingly important component of overall business strategy in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The need for readily available and consistent management information, drawn from integrated systems based on sound and upgradeable technologies, has led many senior company managers to review the business case for root-and-branch systems replacement. However, implementing new information systems (IS) is not easy and many projects fail or fall well short of expected outcomes. Key to successful implementation is getting the strategy right in the first place and then implementing it in a controlled manner to ensure the delivery of benefits. This article discusses three IS projects in different SMEs, where the UK's Knowledge Transfer Partnership scheme has been used to transfer relevant expertise from the university sector to help with strategy development and systems implementation. The experience has led to an outline method for IS strategy development for SMEs and guidelines for the adoption and adaptation of mainstream project management and software package evaluation tools. It is hoped that this will help other SMEs to achieve IS strategy development and implementation more effectively in terms of timescale, cost control and benefits delivery.

Improving Mutual Understanding of Development Artifacts: A Semiotics-Based Approach
Authors: Jennifer Ferreira; Robert E. Crossler; G. Haggard
Year: 2007

The success of information system development projects is critically dependent on arriving at a shared understanding of the desired outcome by all project stakeholders. To communicate such understanding among stakeholders, development artifacts such as design specifications, prototypes, and user stories are created. This paper presents a new project management tool to measure and ensure common understanding of such development artifacts. The method is based on Peirce’s theory of semiotics and Mayer’s theory of learning. The application of the method is demonstrated using a brief example.
Improvising Harmony: Opportunities for Technologies to Support Crowd Orchestration
Authors: Q. Liao; V. Bellotti; Michael Youngblood; Michael Youngblood
Year: 2016

This paper details the work of a seldom studied but growing population of members of grassroots, offline-project based groups. We aim to understand how these groups self-organize to enable a large number of volunteers to gather and "get things done," and identify design opportunities for technologies to support such work. By studying the work structure, we identified two types of members, regular and episodic participants, who differ in structural role, motivation, and type of work they do. We studied two key tasks: 1) project management, which is mostly done collaboratively by the regular participants; and 2) organization of work events-the project implementation, which involve many episodic participants. For both tasks, we report on common practices and tools that are currently used. We then discuss design implications and user requirements for developing specialized tools to support these tasks.

Using Expert-based Bayesian Networks as Decision Support Systems to Improve Project Management of Healthcare Software Projects
Authors: E. Mendes
Year: 2016

One of the pillars for sound Software Project Management is reliable effort estimation. Therefore it is important to fully identify what are the fundamental factors that affect an effort estimate for a new project and how these factors are inter-related. This paper describes a case study where a Bayesian Network model to estimate effort for healthcare software projects was built. This model was solely elicited from expert knowledge, with the participation of seven project managers, and was validated using data from 22 past finished projects. The model led to numerous changes in process and also in business. The company adapted their existing effort estimation process to be in line with the model that was created, and the use of a mathematically-based model also led to an increase in the number of projects being delegated to this company by other company branches worldwide.
Effects of Expert Systems in Computer based Support for CMMI Implementations
Authors: Ercan Öztemel; Nilgün Gökmen
Year: 2010

Computing systems are becoming more complex in very dynamic and uncertain situations. Due to this complexity, the importance of process focused quality approaches is increasing. Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) standards and implementation practices were developed to simplify the software project management and to assure expected quality of the respective software. Realizing the CMMI systems, building and monitoring the implementation practices require an extensive knowledge and experience. Organizations receive these mainly through consultants which may become too costly in most of the cases. Although there have been some computer based support tools available in the market, those still require human experts to justify the related artifacts. In this study a knowledge-based assistant system so called “CMMI Assistant” is introduced. The main aim of this tool is to support CMMI implementations through utilising expert system methodology.
Sustainability Interventions of Construction Project Managers—Establishing a Minimum Baseline
Authors: S. Arabpour; Gilbert Silvius
Year: 2023

The implementation of higher standards for sustainability presents a challenge to the construction industry. Sustainable construction guidelines often emphasize the outcomes of a project rather than addressing the sustainability aspects of its delivery, management, and governance processes. Project management standards and frameworks recognize the significance of sustainability. However, they lack practical instructions for project managers on effectively integrating sustainability into their project management practices. This study addresses this gap in the literature by investigating the perceived effectiveness and ease of sustainability interventions, with the aim of developing a ‘minimum baseline’ set of interventions that managers of construction projects can make in order to develop more sustainable projects. From the existing literature, 42 sustainability interventions by a project manager were derived. A quantitative survey-based research approach utilizing a self-administrated online questionnaire was employed to assess their effectiveness and ease of implementation. The questionnaire was distributed to the project managers worldwide, and valuable input was received from 105 respondents globally. The findings indicate that a minimum baseline of interventions can be formed with ten interventions that focus on the themes of communication, guidelines and regulations, and the supply chain. By revealing this minimum baseline, the study provides practical guidance for project managers of construction projects and fills the gap in the literature regarding the lack of a practical framework for improving sustainability in construction projects.
