Potential risk factors affecting cost and schedule performance in the case of construction projects in Dire Dawa city administration and Harari region, Ethiopia
Authors: Y. Zegeye; Mohammadzen Hasan Darsa
Year: 2024

Construction projects are inherently fragmented and complex, influenced by various risk factors that can significantly affect both costs and schedules. Identifying and prioritizing these risk factors is crucial for enhancing project management and achieving successful outcomes. This research aimed to identify the most significant risk factors affecting construction projects in terms of cost and schedule performance within the Dire Dawa City Administration and Harari Region, considering the perspectives of contractors, clients, and consultants to provide actionable insights for risk mitigation. A comprehensive literature review and pilot survey initially identified 41 risk factors, which were refined through an iterative process to select 42 factors for a detailed questionnaire survey. Additionally, semi-structured interviews were conducted to gather qualitative insights. Data analysis employed mean ratings to identify the top ten risk factors, utilizing Probability Impact (P-I) Matrix and regression techniques to assess each factor’s significance. The results highlighted six critical risk factors among the ten identified as most impactful: inflation, increases in material prices, exchange rate fluctuations, payment delays, poorly coordinated design, and material delays. The findings indicated strong positive correlation values (R = 0.800 and R = 0.840) in both models, suggesting that as one variable increases, the other tends to increase as well. These insights provide valuable guidance for project managers, emphasizing the need to focus on these critical risk factors to improve cost and schedule management, ultimately enhancing project outcomes and minimizing cost overruns in the region.
Application of Predictive Analytics in Telecommunications Project Management
Authors: Z. Chaczko; S. Slehat; A. Salmon
Year: 2016

This paper addresses a prevalent issue in technologybased industries of underperforming or even totally failing projects. There is strong evidence that a major influencing factor to the situation is the incorrect assumption about availability of effective technology that can assist management in project planning. The aim of the paper is to demonstrate and discuss effective approaches for using Predictive Analytics methods and tools in the Telecommunications industry to mitigate project planning issues and avoid possible project failures. Although, these methods and tools are not new, as the traditional statistical models form the core of the application, however, the novelty stems from the new processes and methods used by these tools for presentation and workflow. This change in the approach allowes to lower the usage barrier by providing an access to a wider community of end-users. Thanks to embeding a formalised approach into the workflow, users are guided through complex analytical processes more easily, thus allowing less technically advanced users to draw valuable conclusions without necessarily requiring a formal training in advanced statistical methods. Discussed case studies demonstrate suitability of Predictive Analytics as a powerful and highly accessible tool for project planning in the telecommunications domain.

Project Duration and Risk Factors on Virtual Projects
Authors: April H. Reed; Linda V. Knight
Year: 2013

This research examines how project duration relates to specific individual risk factors that threaten virtual projects, i.e. where team members are not co-located and must rely heavily on computer mediated communication. A total of 557 project management practitioners completed an online survey concerning the impact of each of 55 risk factors on one of their recently completed virtual projects. MANOVA analysis on the ten factors with the highest risk effect (REff) levels demonstrated a clear relationship between project duration and six of the ten factors. These six risks were significantly higher on longer duration projects, suggesting that (1) these risks need to be followed more closely on longer duration projects, and (2) projects whose schedules increase over time may be at greater risk than their risk analyses might indicate. Reasons why some risk factors have a duration effect, while others do not, are explored.

Understanding the past, improving the present, and mapping out the future of software architecture
Authors: N. Medvidović; R. Krikhaar; R. Nord; J. Stafford
Year: 2006

Software architecture has rapidly emerged as an important subfield of software engineering research and practice. Architecture has widely been recognized as the key facet of any software system, and a linchpin of software development processes. A software project’s fate is so tightly interwoven with its underlying architecture that it is now widely recognized that architecture is not just a development phase. Rather, it permeates every aspect of software development, from the initial conceptualization of the system through requirements to the system’s deployment and operation including supporting such activities as Software Configuration Management and Project Management. As such, it is important that our understanding of software architecture be aided by a rich accompanying body of underlying principles, techniques, standards, notations, and tools. The goal of the Working IEEE/IFIP Conference on Software Architecture (WICSA) is to provide a unique on-going platform for the formulation, presentation, discussion, evaluation, and dissemination of this growing body of software architectural knowledge. WICSA is the only specialist conference series devoted to software architecture. As an interactive, working conference, WICSA provides a forum for researchers and practitioners to meet and exchange ideas about the state-of-the-art as well as the state-of-the-practice of architecture-based software engineering. The conference provides keynotes, paper sessions, lively panel discussions, and interactive working sessions where practitioners and researchers discuss their experiences, priorities, and perspectives in order to understand the current state of the field, and identify opportunities to make a difference in the future. The most recent WICSA, which took place in Pittsburgh in November 2005, was the fifth gathering in this series. WICSA-5 took place on the tenth ‘‘birthday’’ of modern software architecture research: it took place exactly ten years after the first International Software Architecture Workshop (ISAW-1) and the first two special issues of IEEE Software and IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering devoted to this subject. To mark this anniversary, WICSA-5 aimed to be a dialogue between researchers

Coping with abnormal organizational behaviors in complex project based on network attack theory
Authors: Lin Yang; Xiaoyue Lv; Xianbo Zhao
Year: 2023

PurposeAbnormal behaviors such as rework, backlog, changes and claims generated by project organizations are unavoidable in complex projects. When abnormal behaviors emerge, the previously normal state of interactions between organizations will be altered to some extent. However, previous studies have ignored the associations and interactions between organizations in the context of abnormal organizational behaviors (AOBs), making this challenging to cope with AOBs. As a result, the objective of this paper is to explore how to reduce AOBs in complex projects at the organizational level from a network perspective.Design/methodology/approachTo overcome the inherent limitations of a single case study, this research integrated two data collection methods: questionnaire survey and expert scoring method. The questionnaire survey captured the universal data on the influence possibility of AOBs between complex project organizations and the expert scoring method got the influence probability scores of AOBs between organizations in the case. Using these data, four organizational influence network models of AOBs based on a case were developed to demonstrate how to destroy AOBs networks in complex projects using network attack theory (NAT).FindingsFirst, the findings show that controlling AOBs generated by key organizations preferentially and improving the ability of key organizations can weaken AOBs network, enabling more effective coping strategies. Second, the owners, government, material suppliers and designers are identified as key organizations across all four influence networks of AOBs. Third, change and claim behaviors are more manageable from the organizational level.Practical implicationsProject managers can target specific organizations for intervention, weaken the AOBs network by applying NAT and achieve better project outcomes through coping strategies. Additionally, by taking a network perspective, this research provides a novel approach to comprehending the associations and interactions between organizations in the context of complex projects.Originality/valueThis paper proposes a new approach to investigating AOBs in complex projects by simultaneously examining rework, backlog, change and claim. Leveraging NAT as a novel tool for managing the harmful effects of influence networks, this study extends the knowledge body in the field of organizational behavior (OB) management and complex project management.

Authors: Diana Ominde; E. Ochieng; V. Omwenga
Year: 2021

The aim of this paper was to examine the applicability of sense-making concepts within the context of stakeholder management in ICT projects in Kenya. The researchers adopted a qualitative approach that triangulates action research design, case-study and grounded theory. A total of 12 senior project management practitioners were identified through non-probability sampling. Conversational semi-structured interviews were carried out, responses were collated and analysed through the NVivo qualitative data analysis framework. It was found that existing stakeholder management and sense-making concepts in ICT project delivery contributes to the accurate identification of stakeholders in ICT projects. It was further found that conceptualisation encourages stakeholder engagement in ICT projects, and enhances the understanding of stakeholder roles in the projects and improves public commitment to stances that are aligned with proffered stakeholders.

Authors: L. Bănică; P. Polychronidou; M. Radulescu; Cristian Ștefan
Year: 2018

The Internet of Things (IoT) is the new digital revolution for the near-future society, the second after the creation of the Internet itself. The software industry is converging towards the large-scale deployment of IoT devices and services, and there’s broad support from the business environment for this engineering vision. The Development and Operations (DevOps) project management methodology, with continuous delivery and integration, is the preferred approach for achieving and deploying applications to all levels of the IoT architecture. In this paper we also discuss the promising trend of associating devices with microservices, which are further encapsulated into functional packages called containers. Docker is considered the market leader in container-based service delivery, though other important software companies are promoting this concept as part of the technology solution for their IoT customers. In the experimental section we propose a three-layer IoT model, business-oriented, and distributed over multiple cloud environments, comprising the Physical, Fog/Edge, and Application layers.

Year: 2021

The study is devoted to transform approaches to the formation of construction project management teams in the context of digitalization of the construction industry. It is necessary to more widely use Building Information Modeling (BIM) technologies in the implementation of construction projects. The methods and approaches used in the information technology can be the key to the success of a project in construction, while moving from traditional management methods to innovative approaches with the maximum use of BIM at all stages of the project lifecycle. A model of the transition of enterprise business processes to BIM-management is proposed, depending on the stage of the construction project and the volume of investments in the development of the company. The study considers models of organizational transformations of the project management system and the project management team, which are both the "brain" and the main resource that determines the quality of management, interaction, support and the success of projects. The object of this article is BIM-management as a technology for increasing the competitiveness of enterprises in the construction industry. Study of issues related to the use of BIM in construction, elucidate ion and clarification of the essence of BIM technology with the determination of the positive and negative aspects of its implementation. The study shows the dynamics of BIM efficiency growth for start-up companies and companies already entrenched in the construction market.

Firms in the construction industry are under increasing pressure from regulatory bodies, clients, and the public to integrate sustainability into their business strategies. However, they encounter numerous barriers that hinder the implementation of environmental sustainability practices in construction project management. This study aimed to examine these barriers within the context of the United Arab Emirates’ (UAE’s) construction industry. To achieve this, the research employed a mixed-method approach. Initially, interviews were conducted to identify the prevalent barriers, resulting in the identification of twelve key barriers. Subsequently, a structured questionnaire was distributed to project managers from 90 firms, both ISO 14001-certified and non-certified, to rank these barriers and assess their significance. The findings revealed that “economic benefits placed above meeting environmental sustainability requirements” was the most critical barrier. Through factor analysis, three latent factors were extracted: (1) organizational and policy barriers, (2) compliance and resource efficiency barriers, and (3) sustainable design implementation barriers. Notably, significant differences were observed between ISO 14001-certified and non-certified firms, particularly regarding the importance of “economic benefits placed above meeting environmental sustainability requirements” and “insufficient consultation with stakeholders”. This study highlights the critical barriers to implementing environmental sustainability practices in the UAE’s construction industry and provides actionable suggestions for policymakers and decision-makers to overcome these challenges, with implications for similar environments worldwide.
