Project Management Capabilities: Key to Application Development Offshore Outsourcing
Authors: J. Erickson; C. Ranganathan
Year: 2006

This paper examines the impact of project management capabilities on the effectiveness of offshore outsourcing of application development activities. Offshore outsourcing is an important trend in today’s business environment and it is important for us to better understand what capabilities are required for a company to execute an offshore outsourcing arrangement. Using the lens of Dynamic Capabilities and the Resource Based View, this paper identifies key project management sub-capabilities that the client needs to possess in order to effectively offshore outsource application development. These sub-capabilities include project planning and control, project governance, and team management. Qualitative data from several mini-case studies is utilized to support the findings.
Are You Still Working on This? An Empirical Study on Pull Request Abandonment
Authors: Zhixing Li; Yue Yu; Tao Wang; Gang Yin; Shanshan Li; Huaimin Wang
Year: 2022

The great success of numerous community-based open source software (OSS) is based on volunteers continuously submitting contributions, but ensuring sustainability is a persistent challenge in OSS communities. Although the motivations behind and barriers to OSS contributors’ joining and retention have been extensively studied, the impacts of, reasons for and solutions to contribution abandonment at the individual level have not been well studied, especially for pull-based development. To bridge this gap, we present an empirical study on pull request abandonment based on a sizable dataset. We manually examine 321 abandoned pull requests on GitHub and then quantify the manual observations by surveying 710 OSS developers. We find that while the lack of integrators’ responsiveness and the lack of contributors’ time and interest remain the main reasons that deter contributors from participation, limitations during the processes of patch updating and consensus reaching can also cause abandonment. We also show the significant impacts of pull request abandonment on project management and maintenance. Moreover, we elucidate the strategies used by project integrators to cope with abandoned pull requests and highlight the need for a practical handover mechanism. We discuss the actionable suggestions and implications for OSS practitioners and tool builders, which can help to upgrade the infrastructure and optimize the mechanisms of OSS communities.
Project Management Office (PMO): Using Projects as Strategies for Managing Organizational and Human Resources
Authors: L. Carden; Carol Brace
Year: 2022

A Project Management Office (PMO) is one entity that can be used to deliver products and services to internal and external customers by using projects and project management tools and techniques. This study aims to provide an account of how to use a project to make recommendations about how to implement a Project Management Office (PMO). A case study example is used to demonstrate how an IT international company used the OPM3 (Organizational Project Management Maturity Model) approach to: (a) acquire knowledge; (b) perform assessment; and (c) managing improvements. The authors include a discussion about specific PMO implementation steps as compared to the challenges from previous implementations and thoughts about how the PMO after implementation provides value to the organization as well as value to the project human resources. Finally, the authors conclude the paper with thoughts related to the contributions of this study and the associated limitations and applicability to other implementations.
Simulation model of the software construction process
Authors: Rakic Tina; L. Vyunenko
Year: 2024

Software production has become one of the largest industries in the world economy today, and in terms of key indicators growth rates in recent years it ranks first among all major industries. In conditions of significantly limited availability of software solutions from foreign manufacturers, the supply from domestic software manufacturers is increasing and, as a result, the need for models and methods that allow you to control the software development process, guarantee the cost of development, timing and quality of the result. The uniqueness of the industry does not allow us to count on the success of using traditional project management models in software projects, especially with regard to quantitative assessments of project parameters. The main differences from other types of project management are that the result of a software development project is intangible, the technologies used in the project change rapidly, and the experience of managing a separate software development project is often not applicable to other projects. The fundamental difference between software development projects and other complex projects is related to the features of the key stage – software construction, including coding and debugging, as well as verification, modular and integration testing. Errors made at the software construction stage have the most significant impact on the project result, since they increase the initially planned amount of work. In the known models of the software development process, the amount of work is considered initially specified, and the construction stage is not allocated as a separate circuit determine the stochastic nature of the work amount. The goal of this paper is to build a simulation model of the software construction process, taking into account the dependencies according to which the main parameters of the simulated process change over time. The model provides an opportunity to quantify and optimize project parameters according to a selected criterion (one or more). The model is built within the framework of a system-dynamic approach; the AnyLogic system is used as a simulation environment. The results of simulation experiments are presented to demonstrate the possibility of using the proposed model to study the software construction process or as a mechanism to support managerial decision-making.
Using an Enterprise Mashup Infrastructure for Just-in-Time Management of Situational Projects
Authors: S. Mohammadi; A. Khalili; Sarah Ashoori
Year: 2009

The recent advent of web mashups that enable ad hoc integration of information and services from multiple disparate resources brings into the spotlight a new approach for managing situational projects in organizations. Situational projects are unpredictable and transient projects within an organization that come with limited number of users with specific needs. Handling these projects differs from traditional project management approaches. They need rapid and good enough solutions. In this paper a simple and organized approach for managing situational projects is proposed. The proposed approach tries to handle situational projects by creating a mashup infrastructure in the organization. There are three types of participants in our approach: Mashup manager, mashup resource analyst and mashup resource builder. Cooperation between these participants results in managing a situational project. Furthermore a meaningful real world scenario is defined to describe different steps of the approach. In addition, advantages of the proposed approach are identified and challenges of using web mashups along with guidelines to cope with them are expressed.

Authors: Didik Eko Rusmanto; Ahmad Yusuf Zakariyya; Syafran Nurrahman
Year: 2024

In the current technological era, information technology has an important role in the business world. However, there are still companies that have not utilized information technology. PT. XYZ Purwodadi, is a motor vehicle sales company (dealer) that still does all work manually. This has resulted in problems for the Company, especially in terms of obtaining information, where it takes longer because the data contained in the Company has not been integrated. Then, there is the possibility of problems resulting from negligence by employees, such as data that is forgotten to be entered into the Company's data records. The Enterprise Resource Planning program was created to try to overcome the problems that occurred at PT. To overcome the problems found in the Company, a Critical Path Method (CPM) function was created to support the Company's business processes in carrying out project management. To measure the success of implementing the Odoo ERP program, user satisfaction analysis was carried out using the Doll and Torkzadeh (1998) method. From the results of the analysis of the implementation of the Odoo ERP program in the Company, it can be concluded that the Odoo ERP program has had a good impact on fulfilling the Company's needs well and quickly.
CCTFv2: Modeling Cyber Competitions
Authors: Basheer Qolomany; Tristan J. Calay; Liaquat Hossain; Aos Mulahuwaish; Jacques Bou Abdo
Year: 2024

Cyber competitions are usually team activities, where team performance not only depends on the members’ abilities but also on team collaboration. This seems intuitive, especially given that team formation is a well-studied discipline in competitive sports and project management, but unfortunately, team performance and team formation strategies are rarely studied in the context of cybersecurity and cyber competitions. Since cyber competitions are becoming more prevalent and organized, this gap becomes an opportunity to formalize the study of team performance in the context of cyber competitions. This work follows a cross-validating two-approach methodology. The first is the computational modeling of cyber competitions using Agent-Based Modeling. Team members are modeled, in NetLogo, as collaborating agents competing over a network in a red team/blue team match. Members’ abilities, team interaction and network properties are parametrized (inputs), and the match score is reported as output. The second approach is grounded in the literature of team performance (not in the context of cyber competitions), where a theoretical framework is built in accordance with the literature. The results of the first approach are used to build a causal inference model using Structural Equation Modeling. Upon comparing the causal inference model to the theoretical model, they showed high resemblance, and this cross-validated both approaches. Two main findings are deduced: first, the body of literature studying teams remains valid and applicable in the context of cyber competitions. Second, coaches and researchers can test new team strategies computationally and achieve precise performance predictions. The targeted gap used methodology and findings which are novel to the study of cyber competitions.
Cost Estimation Methods in Quality Management and Continuous Improvement: A Reflection of the Relationship
Authors: B. Galli
Year: 2021

This paper investigated cost estimation methods and continuous improvement in terms of project management planning, as well as the factors that influenced these actions. Estimating the cost was one of the most imperative tasks to be done by the managers for a project. Key factors, such as cost, size, schedule, quality, people resources, maintenance costs, and complexity, were usually estimated in the beginning of project development. The techniques used for cost estimation included data composed from past projects that were combined with mathematical formulae to get the closest estimation. In regards to continuous improvement, the four-step quality model (PDCA cycle) was used as an ongoing effort to improve products or services. PDCA stands for plan, do, check, and act, which were the steps to successfully implement change. Notably, project management, when tasked with cost estimation and continuous improvement, was challenged to cope with evolving and situational alterations, which required a different set of skills.
Virtual Teaching Cases?An Exploratory Study
Authors: Russell W. Robbins; B. Butler
Year: 2010

This research, when complete, will represent a prototype of the development of a virtual teaching case and the use and assessment of the initial versions of research instruments whose aim is the assessment of this new form of teaching case, or any type of teaching case, with regards to learning efficacy, gains, satisfaction, and environment. The purpose of this virtual teaching case (that is, a teaching case, embedded within a virtual world) is to leverage the rich heritage of casebased teaching while helping today’s students to learn by providing a more engaging environment where these students (experienced with multiplayer computer games and the Internet) can collaboratively practice project management skills such as planning scopes of work, schedules, and budgets—skills they have already learnt in class. In a virtual teaching case, students can experience the challenges of discovering problems; collaboratively creating, judging, and transforming resolutions; and reacting to changing circumstances.

Stochastic gradient boosting for predicting the maintenance effort of software-intensive systems
Authors: Sergio Cerón-Figueroa; Cuauhtémoc López Martín; C. Yáñez-Márquez
Year: 2020

The maintenance of software-intensive systems (SISs) must be undertaken to correct faults, improve the design, implement enhancements, adapt programmes such that different hardware, software, system features, and telecommunications facilities can be used, as well as to migrate legacy software. A lack of planning has been identified as one explanation for late and over budget software projects. An activity of planning is effort prediction. The goal of this study is to propose the application of a stochastic gradient boosting (SGB) model for predicting the SIS maintenance effort. We compare the SGB prediction accuracy with those obtained with statistical regression, neural network, support vector regression, decision trees, and association rules. We trained and tested the models with five SIS data sets selected from the International Software Benchmarking Standards Group Release 11. The SGB prediction accuracy was statistically better than the mentioned five models in the two larger data sets. We can conclude that a SGB can be applied to predict the maintenance effort of SISs coded in languages of the third generation and developed on either mainframes or multi-platform. The predicted effort corresponds to the aggregate of efforts obtained from the project team, project management, and project administration.
Practitioner Insights on Determinants of Procurement Contract Management and Constraints in Government Construction
Authors: Erastus Mwanaumo; Chipo C Mwale; B. G. Mwanza; Sampa Chisumbe; E. T. Mwanaumo
Year: 2024

The study aimed to examine the effects of compliance and monitoring of performance of public sector construction projects, assess the effect of contract documentation and determine the technical capabilities and constraints faced by contractors on the performance of public sector construction projects. A quantitative correlational research design was adopted, and a research questionnaire was used for data collection. The study findings revealed compliance with the contractual terms by contractors, enhanced procurement contract management with a mean of 4.10 and standard deviation of 1.145. Further, 80.2% of the respondents agreed that failure to understand the contract document leads to mistakes in contract implementation, which causes unnecessary rework and increases project costs. Monitoring procurement contracts is important in project management because it helps the contractors to remain focused. These findings are supported by standard deviation between 1.072 and 1.197 which implies consensus among the respondents. The study concluded that compliance with contract terms and conditions as well as monitoring procurement contracts were metrics that on their own, could lead to a positive influence on contract management. These metrics must work conjunctively with other metrics for them to lead to a positive influence on project performance. Contract documentation and technical capabilities were seen to be impactful on project performance as they could lead to a positive change in contract management. The study recommends that the government emphasizes contract documentation and contract monitoring of projects and Contract Manager involvement at the initial stages of the project. The study is limited to public sector, therefore recommends that a similar study be conducted in private sector to establish outcomes in comparison to public sector experience.
The Impact of Project Management Tools on Project Results: Evaluation of a Survey Among Managers Leading International Development Projects for four selected Central and Eastern European Donors
Authors: Gabriela Dufková
Year: 2023

Abstract As the success rate of international development projects might be still below expectations, several studies have explored whether and how the use of project management (PM) tools might improve internal and external project performance. This article looks specifically at four selected Central and Eastern European countries and evaluates a newly collected data set. Based on a survey, the study examines the adoption of PM tools among project managers in the region. Furthermore, with the use of cluster analysis, it suggests that the tools are adopted progressively in four stages that differ culturally from other international studies. Last but not least, using structural equation modelling, the research indicates that among the surveyed project managers, the use of stage 1 tools might directly contribute to the improvement of internal project results and that these internal results might then have a positive impact also on the external project performance.

In global software development (GSD), software is developed by a team of geographically dispersed people. Many organizations that develop projects globally do not evaluate their project management readiness to undertake such projects.
The Relationship Between Uncertainty and Task Execution Strategies in Project Management
Authors: T. Maes; K. Gebhardt; A. Riel
Year: 2022

Common project management methodologies do not consider project task uncertainty for determining appropriate task execution strategies. This article proposes an actionable task-model based approach to integrating uncertainty considerations in project management. The authors developed the article in an industrial setting, interviewing experienced project managers, and observing 12 innovation projects. The resulting models were validated in four innovation projects. This process also revealed recurring patterns of how projects deal with high levels of uncertainty. The heightened awareness of uncertainty levels of project tasks, combined with four fundamental task execution strategies, has a significant impact on project managers’ decisions.
Project-as-Practice: Applying Bourdieu’s Theory of Practice on Project Managers
Authors: Theodoros Kalogeropoulos; V. Leopoulos; K. Kirytopoulos; Zoe Ventoura
Year: 2020

Researchers have not studied the human side of project managers thoroughly. Decision-making mechanisms lie not only in technocratic knowledge but also in practitioners’ inner cultures and personal lifestyles. Highlighting the human (f)actor behind the strategic decisions made in projects reveals a new path for analyzing project managers. This article applies Bourdieu’s practice theory within the field of project management through a qualitative study into 17 successful and experienced Greek project managers. The results exhibit the common social characteristics of successful project managers and suggest that project managers must be viewed from a sociological perspective as well.
