A new way to diagnose the new product development process based on recurring current reality trees
Authors: Janaina M. H. Costa; C. S. T. Amaral; S. C. Fernandes; H. Rozenfeld
Year: 2018


Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to propose and describe a method that uses recurrent problems to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the diagnosis of new product development (NPD) processes and supports the identification of improvement opportunities. The proposed method, called Diagile, is based on recurrent current reality trees (CRTs) and is a new way of building CRTs that includes best project management practices, and the identification and prioritization of improvement opportunities. To support the execution of the method, recurrent problems were identified and a computational tool to aid the diagnosis, a database of improvement opportunities and an automated spreadsheet to prioritize improvement projects were developed.


Design/methodology/approach
The proposed method was evaluated through a controlled experiment at a multinational manufacturer of office supplies.


Findings
The results achieved confirm that the use of the Diagile method increases the diagnostic efficiency and effectiveness when compared to diagnoses performed by the traditional CRT method.


Research limitations/implications
The validity of the method must be tested on a larger scale, since this work involved only one controlled experiment for this purpose. The experiment involved the participation of postgraduate research assistants, who cannot be considered specialists in the diagnosis of NPD. One could question whether the method will be as helpful for proficient users as well. The authors did not have proficient users available to run the experiment. However, the authors believe that such a specialist would save time in carrying out a diagnosis with Diagile, and also be more effective in validating the diagnosis. However, this assumption could not be tested here and can therefore be considered a limiting factor of the experiment. Nevertheless, the positive results of the evaluations of the companies and users of the two case studies corroborate the statement that the objective of this work was attained.


Practical implications
The greater efficiency and effectiveness provided by the proposed Diagile method was also evident in the identification and prioritization of improvement opportunities. The experimental group drew up a more relevant and coherent list of improvement projects than the control group, and provided documentation for these projects in the form of project charts. The authors believe these results can be of a great impact if implemented by practitioners.


Originality/value
This paper proposes a new way to perform diagnostic of NPD process. In particular, this process is well known to be highly strategic, nevertheless, normally excluded out of improvement initiatives because of its complexity. The diagnostic method proposed is a powerful tool to assist practitioners finding systemic improvement opportunities, expanding the assessment to all dimensions of a business process, e.g. people, technology and process activities.
Complexity as a Cause of Failure in Information Technology Project Management
Authors: Charlie B. Daniels; W. J. LaMarsh
Year: 2007

Project management success is often elusive, particularly in a complex, systems of systems environment (SOSE). In the information technology (IT) industry, failure rates are approaching 70 percent. Many reasons are cited for this high failure rate, including the shortage of skilled staff, constant changes in technology, too many known IT application constraints, inadequately defined requirements, and poor project management skills among others. This paper proposes a main cause of failure as complexity caused by discontinuities among project objectives and the worldviews, tools and ideas in standard practice in IT project management. This paper will also assert that many IT projects, by their very nature, are complex in design. An understanding of complexity and a change in thinking about IT project management in the modern engineering organization may be indicated. The conclusion of this paper will summarize future research necessary to close this gap.

Authors: M. Huic; A. Nachtnebel; I. Zechmeister; Iris Pasternak; C. Wild
Year: 2013

Objectives: The aim of this study was to present the first four collaborative health technology assessment (HTA) processes on health technologies of different types and life cycles targeted toward diverse HTA users and facilitators, as well as the barriers of these collaborations. Methods: Retrospective analysis, through four case studies, was performed on the first four collaboration experiences of agencies participating in the EUnetHTA Joint Action project (2010–12), comprising different types and life cycles of health technologies for a diverse target audience, and different types of collaboration. The methods used to initiate collaboration, partner contributions, the assessment methodology, report structure, time frame, and factors acting as possible barriers to and facilitators of this collaboration were described. Results: Two ways were used to initiate collaboration in the first four collaborative HTA processes: active brokering of information, so-called “calls for collaboration,” and individual contact between agencies after identifying a topic common to two agencies in the Planned and Ongoing Projects database. Several success factors are recognized: predefined project management, high degree of commitment to the project; adherence to timelines; high relevance of technology; a common understanding of the methods applied and advanced experience in HTA; finally, acceptance of English-written reports by decision makers in non–English-speaking countries. Barriers like late identification of collaborative partners, nonacceptance of English language and different methodology of assessment should be overcome. Conclusions: Timely and efficient, different collaborative HTA processes on relative efficacy/effectiveness and safety on different types and life cycles of health technologies, targeted toward diverse HTA users in Europe are possible. There are still barriers to overcome.

Charity management is a critical aspect of supporting the sustainability and effectiveness of charitable organizations. In today’s digital era, mobile application development has become a relevant solution to increase efficiency and involvement in charitable activities. This research aims to design and develop an innovative Android application for charity management by applying the Design Thinking approach method. The Design Thinking approach method is used as a framework to better understand user needs and design intuitive, user-focused solutions. This process includes four main pillar stages: empathy, definition, ideation, and implementation. By deeply understanding the needs and challenges faced by charitable organizations and donors, the app is designed to provide a satisfying and effective experience. The app provides features like donation tracking, charity project management, real-time notifications, and transparent reports. The user-friendly and intuitive interface design ensures that users from various backgrounds can easily access and use this application. Apart from that, the integration of the latest technology such as artificial intelligence for data analysis and prediction of donation trends is also an integral part of this application. Prototype testing results show that this application is able to increase charity management efficiency, provide a positive user experience, and increase donor participation levels. Thus, it is hoped that the development of this Android application can make a positive contribution to the world of charity, create a greater social impact, and provide innovative solutions in technology-based charity management.
ICT-project failure in public administration: the need to include risk management in enterprise architectures
Authors: M. Janssen; B. Klievink
Year: 2010

The failure of large and complex ICT projects has gained the attention of politicians and public managers. Decision-makers are looking for ways to reduce the number of project failures. As one of the instruments, they are looking at architectures to mitigate project management risk in order to reduce ICT project failures. Enterprise Architecture (EA) has been heralded as a way to advance digital government developments. This has resulted in the development of building blocks, standards, principles, models and other architectural instruments. 
 
Despite the importance of this topic, little is known about the actual relationship between project failure and enterprise architecture. Although architectures might include risk management instruments, there is no insight in their actual use and experience. In this paper, the relationship between EA and project failure is investigated by creating a retrospective view on the use of EA in large and complex ICT-projects. A simple questionnaire is developed aimed at measuring the use of enterprise architecture in organizations and factors related to ICT project risks. During an interactive policy workshop, participants from various public organizations in the Netherlands were asked to fill in this survey for the ICT projects they were experience with. This was followed by a discussion about EA and risk management. The findings show that a disappointingly number of projects use either EA or risk management in a sufficient way. From the results, we conclude that architecture was hardly used as an instrument to mitigate project risks. This implies that one way of mitigating project failure is to ensure that the enterprise architecture and its use provide explicit attention to the subject of project risks. Six recommendations are formulated to improve risk management.

. The article considers simulation models of risk analysis for IT projects. An article objective is research of simulation models and their application for risk management of information technology projects. An information sys-tem based on simulation models of risk analysis for IT projects is developed. The experimental approbation of the developed system is analyzed. One of the major tasks to address within project management is project risk management or project risk management. This task is not separate from most other project management functions. It projects are characterized by a large number of connected processes. The most expedient method for analyzing and managing IT projects risk, including the risks of observing calendar schedules, is imitation modeling. This method provides both accurate analysis and visual representation of alternatives to management behavior. Considered model allows constructing distributions of probability values for the most important parameters of the progress of the project, which in turn allows you to put and check stochastic hypotheses.
The Role of Program and Project Management in Increasing the Competitiveness of Russian Universities: A Comparative Analysis Including China and India
Authors: M. Sorokin; Luyao Yu
Year: 2024

As the worldwide economic paradigm changes, higher education becomes an extremely important factor in ensuring a country’s scientific and technological sovereignty. This article compares the state of higher education in the Russian Federation (RF), the Republic of India (RI), and the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and ranks the development of their respective higher education systems in order to derive a model for advancing the innovative competitiveness of the RF’s institutions of higher education and to identify the components required to make them more competitive. Study of statistical data and regulations along with retrospective and systemic structural analysis indicate that program and process management is an innovative way to increase the competitiveness of universities. This result is grounded in a descriptive analysis of previous scientific studies, which substantiated the authors’ definition of what makes universities competitive. Comparison of the programs and projects implemented in the three countries examined leads to the conclusion that the RF should accelerate the creation of a wide network of program and project initiatives in higher education. Although a comparative analysis of the RF’s nationwide Project 5–100 and Priority 2030 program reveals certain problems in university management, it also establishes that applying existing regulations for strategic planning as well as for program project management in order to develop universities can assist in reaching the targets of Presidential Decree No. 145 dated 28 February 2024, entitled “Strategy for Scientific and Technological Development of the RF” (SSTD).
Root causes underlying challenges to secondary use of data.

Year: 2011

Although one potential benefit of electronic information systems is the opportunity for secondary use of data, it is often challenging in practice to reuse data. We identify challenges to the secondary use of electronic data from a web-based project management system, and trace these challenges to their root causes. Data quality issues arose from: differential incentives for integrity of different data; software flexibility that allowed a single task to be documented in multiple ways; variability in documentation practices; variability in use of standardized vocabulary; and changes in project procedures and system configuration over time. These issues are very similar to the issues that pose challenges for secondary uses of clinical and operational data for research, public health, and quality improvement. We conclude that secondary use of operational data requires an in-depth understanding of the primary workflow processes that produced the data, as these processes lead to data integrity issues.

Software projects often fail, because they are not adequately managed. The establishment of effective and efficient project management practices still remains a key challenge to software organizations. Striving to address these needs, "best practice" models, such as, the Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) or the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK), are being developed to assist organizations in improving project management. Although not required, software tools can help implement the project management process in practice. In order to provide comprehensive, low-cost tool support for project management, specifically, for small and medium enterprises (SMEs), in this paper we compare the most popular free/open-source web-based project management tools with respect to their compliance to PMBOK and CMMI for Development (CMMI-DEV). The results of this research can be used by organizations to make decisions on tool adoptions as well as a basis for evolving software tools in alignment with best practices models.
The ‘PREXCEL-Q Method’ for qPCR
Authors: J. Gallup; M. Ackermann
Year: 2008

The purpose of this manuscript is to describe a reliable approach to quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) assay development and project management, which is currently embodied in the Excel 2003-based software program named “PREXCEL-Q” (P-Q) (formerly known as “FocusField2-6Gallup-qPCRSet-upTool-001,” “FF2-6-001 qPCR set-up tool” or “Iowa State University Research Foundation [ISURF] project #03407”). Since its inception from 1997-2007, the program has been well-received and requested around the world and was recently unveiled by its inventor at the 2008 Cambridge Healthtech Institute’s Fourth Annual qPCR Conference in San Diego, CA. P-Q was subsequently mentioned in a review article by Stephen A. Bustin, an acknowledged leader in the qPCR field. Due to its success and growing popularity, and the fact that P-Q introduces a unique/defined approach to qPCR, a concise description of what the program is and what it does has become important. Sample-related inhibitory problems of the qPCR assay, sample concentration limitations, nuclease-treatment, reverse transcription (RT) and master mix formulations are all addressed by the program, enabling investigators to quickly, consistently and confidently design uninhibited, dynamically-sound, LOG-linear-amplification-capable, high-efficiency-of-amplification reactions for any type of qPCR. The current version of the program can handle an infinite number of samples.
Post-Project Benefits Management in Large Organizations - Insights of a Qualitative Study
Authors: Martin Semmann; Tilo Böhmann
Year: 2015

In the last decades, corporate investments in IT constantly increased and became a substantial part of business investments. Thus, researchers have sought to understand the effects of these investments and the practices that lead to more effective investment into IT. One stream of this research focuses on explicitly managing benefits. It links into IT investment appraisals as well as into IT project management with an emphasis on the latter. Extant research of benefits management focuses on the benefits-driven chartering and execution of IT projects. Thus, this research does not address benefits-related effects of the usage phase of IT investments, foregoing the opportunity of managing benefits based on the realization planned and emerging work practices over time. Against this background, this paper aims to identify the current state of benefits management and derives implications for post-project benefits management based on a qualitative study with eleven IT executives (mostly CIOs).

Business process modeling was suggested by academia and implemented by the industry to trigger device requirements. Maturity models of software processes are also similar in the software industry. Therefore, business software requirement engineering approaches-based process should aim to fulfil with the maturity models. Although researchers in the area of Software Engineering, Project Management, and Business Intelligent have addressed planning and execution and a lot of research still needs to be done, in this study, we focused on doing a questionnaire based on different prominent universities, major companies, and software houses. The purpose of the questionnaire was to dig out the main factors that negatively affect software houses and their products and services, especially in the medical field. A questionnaire was generated to accomplish these reasons, and interviews were conducted to extract the key explanation why software developers and software houses in developing countries are not familiar with the CMMI (Capability Maturity Model Integration) model for medical software projects. This analysis attempted to figure out why the tech enterprises of developing countries are behind foreign competitors. We aimed to determine why software developers do not meet the international requirements for software. The novelty of the research is that attempts were made to strengthen the new approach by adding agile at level 3 to keep the local software industry appropriate and reveal the requirements for medical software life cycle study, because accurate decision support is really necessary for healthcare systems.

This paper examines community as the consumer of community-related corporate social responsibility (CSR). It empirically investigates the critical success factors of CSR within the context of tourism from the community perspective because, for CSR activities that are targeted towards them, understanding their perspective could not be more necessary. The study narrowed the gap of knowledge by testing twelve critical success factors proposed in the literature on 267 target respondents in Langkawi, Malaysia and analysed the data using PLS. The sample was drawn using a qualifying question from communities known to have participated in previous hotel CSR activities. The findings revealed that, from a community standpoint, just four of the recommended twelve variables were crucial to the performance of community-related CSR in Langkawi’s hotel industry. These variables were general community development, law and social norms, project management committee, and financial preparedness. The findings provide theoretical as well as managerial implications, which are explained in the later sections of the paper.

. The information technologies and IT projects applying aspects for management decision support during the project's realization of material and technical development in agricultural enterprises are analyzed. The components that should be taken into account in the information-analytical systems of management decision support during the project's development of crop harvesting technological systems are distinguished. The general scheme of the infor-mation-analytical system of management decisions support in crop-harvesting projects is presented. The using expediency of statistical simulation modeling methods for the cumulative impact of unmanaged and stochastic components of project environment on the work timeliness and effectiveness of these projects are considered. Methods of statistical simulation with multiple iterations of virtual crop harvesting projects were used. This helps to take into account the project environment's stochastic nature, to perform computer experiments and to process their results using mathematical statistics methods. The relationship be-tween the components of the crop harvesting projects that affect their effectiveness is shown. On the basis of the developed information-analytical system the management decisions are grounded to coordinate the start-up time of crop harvesting projects and production area projects with the technical equipment parameters. It is shown, that the usage of IT in the project management of enterprises materially-technical re-equipment allows to accompany management decisions and to ensure the effectiveness of these projects.
