The scope of project maturity issues in Cameroon
Authors: Kabelat Ameke Arnaud; Antoinette Song
Year: 2023

Cameroon, located in Central Africa, plays a leading role in terms of trade, with about half of the GDP of the Central African Economic and Monetary Commission area. Yet, the quality of public expenditure in Cameroon is said to be one of the grievances plaguing its economic growth. This underperformance is generally linked to project management, an essential lever for the country's development. The construction of infrastructure is one of the challenges of Cameroon's development policy. This lack of stakeholders in the knowledge and practice of maturation has an enormous impact in the votes consumption and the execution of projects that inevitably leads to the abandonment of projects, the multiplication of amendments, poor workmanship and the lack of satisfaction on the part of the beneficiaries. Hence, this study, after performing a SWOT analysis on project management maturity in Cameroon public projects, explores 17 projects undertaken over the past decade, in order to probe the impact of problems caused by the immaturity of projects on schedule and costs. The results revealed that the general maturity level for this study was 68%. Out of the ten hypotheses stated, seven were accepted. It was also found that the level of maturity of a public investment project in Cameroon positively affects its delivery whereas, some of the maturity variables do not significantly explain the costs with its parameters but impact others. Recommendations for a better project management in the country are thrown.

Authors: Kevin Zepwa Kweyu; Rosebenter Awuor Owuor; C. Mwita
Year: 2022

OBJECTIVE
The objective of this review is to identify, explore, and map the literature on the characteristics and implementation modalities of needle and syringe programs for reducing blood-borne diseases among injection drug users in sub-Saharan Africa compared with the recommended standards by the World Health Organization and AIDS Projects Management Group.


INTRODUCTION
The sub-Saharan region of Africa bears a disproportionate burden of infectious diseases and HIV/AIDS. Needle and syringe programs have been shown to be effective in preventing transmission of infections among injection drug users by providing them with sterile injection equipment. The programs may also serve as avenues for addressing other issues that affect injection drug users.


INCLUSION CRITERIA
This review will consider published and unpublished studies on needle and syringe programs as a method of preventing blood-borne infections among injection drug users in sub-Saharan Africa. In addition, systematic reviews and text and opinion papers will be considered for inclusion in the review.


METHODS
The electronic databases to be searched include MEDLINE, African Journals Online (AJOL), CINAHL, The Cochrane Library, Embase, and TRoPHI. We will search for studies in English with no date limit as well as sources of unpublished studies and gray literature (conference abstracts, theses, etc). Data extraction will be done by two independent reviewers guided by an extraction tool developed by the reviewers. Key information, such as author, reference, and findings relevant to the review questions will be obtained. The results will be presented as graphs, figures, and tables accompanied by a narrative summary.
NGO Partnerships in Using Ecotourism for Conservation: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Authors: T. P. Romero-Brito; R. Buckley; J. Byrne
Year: 2016

We analyse 214 cases worldwide where non-governmental organisations (NGOs) use ecotourism for conservation. Other stakeholders in these initiatives include local communities, the private sector, and government agencies. Stakeholder relationships determine NGO roles and project management structures and governance. We classified cases into 10 structural categories based on the initiating stakeholder and the NGO role, and used these categories to analyze geographic patterns and success factors. Most of the 214 cases are community-based (~170; 79%); most are in developing countries (190; 89%); and most are in protected areas (196; 91%). Frequencies of structural categories differ between continents. More cases in Latin America and Asia are initiated by NGOs and local communities, and more in Africa by the private sector. Case-study authors used a range of economic, socio-cultural and environmental criteria to judge whether projects were successful. At global scale, we found no significant association between project success and the involvement of private tourism entrepreneurs. Projects involving either local or international NGOs had higher success rates than those that involved both simultaneously. Future research could adopt political ecology approaches to examine: the factors that lead NGOs to adopt ecotourism enterprises; their internal decision-making processes and strategies; their interactions with the stakeholders involved; and their conservation goals and outcomes.

Authors: K. Shykhnenko; O. Nozhovnik
Year: 2023

The evolving landscape of research management and administration at the universities has seen remarkable transformations in recent years, expanding the role of research administrators to include strategic planning, project management, funding acquisition, and regulatory compliance. This transformation has been significantly influenced by innovative technologies, streamlining various aspects of their responsibilities, from data management to project planning and funding identification. Moreover, the integration of technology has enhanced their ability to contribute to strategic decision-making and adapt to evolving research environments. Innovative training methodologies have reshaped research administrators’ education, with e-learning platforms, simulation, gamification, virtual reality, augmented reality, artificial intelligence, and data analytics offering diverse and dynamic learning experiences that cater to the varied needs of research administrators or managers. A comparative analysis of research administration and management training in Ukraine and the United States reveals the global diversity in training approaches. However, challenges related to digital literacy and resource constraints are evident, underscoring the need for cross-border collaborations to address these issues and promote best practices in research administration and management. As a result of these findings, research administrators are now better equipped to excel in their multifaceted roles, thanks to technology and innovative training methods. The global landscape of research administration training presents opportunities and challenges that require ongoing attention and adaptation. Further research in this field is warranted, focusing on evaluating the effectiveness of various training methodologies, assessing the long-term impact of technology integration, exploring successful cross-border collaboration models, addressing digital literacy challenges, and investigating the adaptation to continuous technological advancements and change management strategies in this field. These future research directions aim to enhance the understanding of how research administrators can thrive in the ever-evolving research landscape.
An Investigation of the Decision-Making Process in Agile Teams
Authors: Meghann L. Drury-Grogan; O. O'Dwyer
Year: 2013

This paper first explores the decision-making process in agile teams using scrum practices and second identifies factors that influence the decision-making process during the Sprint Planning and Daily Scrum Meetings. We conducted 34 semi-structured interviews and 18 observations across four agile teams. Our findings show that a rational decision-making process is sometimes followed in the Sprint Planning and Daily Scrum Meetings and that three factors can influence the rational decision-making process: sprint duration, experience and resource availability. Additionally, decisions are not always made in a collaborative manner by team members. This research contributes to the decision-making literature and project management literature by highlighting difficulties pertinent to decision making in agile teams.

Industrial Design Studios of Warsaw: Pushing Forward For Socially and Ecologically Responsible Design
Authors: M. Bengisu; Füsun ERDOĞANLAR BENGİSU
Year: 2023

The aim of this research was to understand the approaches of Polish design studios to project management as well as socially and ecologically responsible design. These issues were investigated through a perspective of Polish design history and today’s socioeconomic realities. A qualitative approach was used in this study with interviews as the main research method. Recorded interviews were deciphered and coded according to common themes within the answers. Five prominent industrial design studios based in Warsaw were interviewed and their design projects were analyzed in detail. Common threads among these projects appear to be a natural evolution of the democratic design approach that started in the ‘60s in Poland and other Baltic countries. The design philosophy, project management, and resulting products suggest that Polish design studios struggle to keep active, competitive, and innovative through ecologically and socially responsible design in spite of the conventional market demand emphasizing styling and form in industrial products. Challenges such as financial limitations, low prices paid for design projects, and having to deal with a broad range of design activities are overcome by using different strategies such as research about local culture and resources, user studies, experimentation with new concepts and materials, professional networking, cooperation with academia, and using national or international funds.

Architecture: an emerging core competence for IT professionals
Authors: Keith A. Morneau; Sue Talley
Year: 2007

With the emergence of globalization, IT organizations have begun to shift from service organizations to solutions organizations. IT professionals must now mitigate complexity by understanding both the enterprise and IT solutions. An IT professional has to balance the business needs of the enterprise with the possibilities that technology offers.
 At the same time, technology itself has enabled hard IT skills jobs to become commodities that can be outsourced around the world and performed at a fraction of the cost. This shift has changed the core competencies needed by IT professionals in the developed countries. IT professionals must now have the competencies of leadership/followership, communication and collaboration, problem solving and critical thinking, creativity and innovation, global business expertise, systems thinking, and self management, in addition to the technology expertise and project management skills we expected in the past. Arising from all these competencies, architecture has emerged as an overarching core competence for IT professionals.
 The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of how IT competencies have changed in the last decade and to introduce architecture as a critical component of an IT education curriculum. We will discuss the implications this might have for the SIGITE model curriculum framework.
A Reflection Note on Applying Quantitative Decision-Making Approaches to Engineering Management
Authors: B. Galli
Year: 2023

Engineering management is a project management activity full of information composed of specific engineering technology and different social factors. The basic knowledge of quantitative decision-making technology and management economics is conducive to project decision-making, project investment, financing in engineering construction, and real estate. With the development of modern engineering management, quantitative decision-making has become increasingly important. This article discusses quantitative decision-making's significance, importance, and potential limitations in engineering management activities. Different quantitative decision tools have other effects on engineering management and technical management. This article also suggests that effective engineering management needs to combine scientific quantitative analysis methods and quantitative decision-making tools and comprehensively consider the engineering implementation background, the project's technical requirements, and resource sources.
CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTORS OF AGILE SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT IN WATERFALL PROJECT: A CASE STUDY APPROACH
Authors: Indra Bayu; Teguh Raharjo; Bob Hardian Syahbuddin
Year: 2024

The evolution of software development methodologies has seen Agile rise in response to the limitations of traditional approaches like Waterfall, characterized by its iterative, collaborative, and adaptable nature. However, integrating Agile within the rigid, structured frameworks of organizations accustomed to Waterfall presents significant challenges. This study addresses how to effectively combine these methodologies to mitigate conflicts and achieve successful project outcomes by identifying and analyzing the Critical Success Factors (CSFs) that enable a harmonious integration of Agile into Waterfall environments. Conducted at PT ABC, a firm balancing formal client interactions and contract creation with internal adoption of Scrum, this research uses the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to systematically prioritize CSFs through literature review, questionnaire development, data collection, and pairwise comparison analysis. The findings reveal that "Communication and Team Environment" is the most influential factor, with a priority vector weight of 0.178, followed by "Project Management and Strategy," "Leadership and Management Support," and "User and Customer Engagement." These factors are pivotal in achieving a balance between control and flexibility in software development projects. The study's implications for PT ABC and other organizations, especially those handling multiple projects and requiring on-site presence while managing other projects, demonstrate how to leverage the strengths of both methodologies for optimal project outcomes. This research provides a model for other organizations striving for similar integrative efforts, showcasing practical strategies to enhance project flexibility and coordination.

HR activities and practices for project success: A multi-method approach from Indian IT firms
Authors: V. Bhoola; A. Giangreco
Year: 2018

The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of Human Resource activities and practices (HRAPs) on value-driven project management in the Indian IT industry. It is a sector that offers various jobs for young IT skilled labour force, but faces major challenges in recruiting and retaining talent. A multi-method research has been carried out, using Delphi technique and a simultaneous equations model. Using the Delphi method, we developed an initial set of 136 globally accepted HRAPs. This was reduced to 20 most significant attributes applicable to Indian IT projects with the help of Kendall’s coefficient of concordance (W) used over three rounds of iterations. Later, from 431 observations, we selected the top 10 HRAPs based on mean ranks in round 3 to study the impact on value-driven project success, in terms of meeting project, customer and organizational goals. The study also uses triangulation through a multi-method research approach to achieve convergence. The significant HRAPs impacting value-driven project management include efficient project leadership, effective communication, training of project leaders, ensuring job-matching and listening to team members’ issues. Frequent team conflicts and personnel turnover, however, adversely impact IT project success. Our results confirm that the impact of HRAPs on project goals is more prominent and immediate as compared to meeting customer or organizational goals, which is often delayed. The results emphasize the necessity of integrating all stakeholders of IT projects in order to accomplish value-driven success.

Year: 2023

There are many possibilities to improve sustainable management in construction industry. In this context, this article aims to analyze the influence of construction practices, organized in factors, in sustainability dimensions. For this, a survey with 80 project managers from construction industry was performed. The participants answered about the sustainable management practices used in their projects, as well as their performance in relation to indicators in the social, economic and environmental dimensions. The data were analyzed via Confirmatory Factor Analysis and Logistic Regression. It was possible to verify that not all the analyzed factors (as well as the practices that compose them) can be considered significant to explain all the dimensions of sustainability. Another interesting finding is that the influence levels of the factors vary widely, indicating that some factors are more important than others in the pursuit of (one or more) sustainability dimensions. In addition, contrary to expectations, not all factors (and therefore not all practices) have a positive impact on the sustainability of construction projects. The Resource management and pollution factor negatively influences Economic sustainability. This study sought to contribute to broaden the understanding of the sustainable practices in construction project management and guide future analysis and research.
Applications of Axiomatic Design in the Project Management of New Product Development – A Literature Research
Authors: Mihaela Nicolau
Year: 2023

Abstract The article investigates the applications of Axiomatic Design to the Project Management of new product development as it currently stands based on publicly available materials. Project Management is a collection of processes tailored to fit an application. The research focused on processes associated to Project Management, and it was less focused on product design. The results of the investigation indicate that the application of Axiomatic Design to Project Management would be useful and would lead to improvements of projects’ success and business’s Return-on-Investment. The researcher concludes that product requirements could be used to model a uniform approach to most processes used in Project Management but, depending on the project complexities, a smaller scope approach is more appropriate depending on company’s internal organization of work. It will be beneficial to either project management practitioner or any business manager to have a framework easy to utilize in designing processes as needed for the successful completion of any project.
