Authors: Rudy Firdaus Christopher Bernard Sirau; Muhamad Zaihafiz Zainal Abidin; Ridzuan Yacob; Zakwan Ramli
Year: 2024

Abandoned housing projects (AHPs) lead to economic losses, social issues, and damage the reputation of responsible authorities. Effective rehabilitation project management is crucial for sustainable urban development. This study explores the challenges and critical success factors (CSFs) throughout the AHP rehabilitation life cycle using qualitative thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews. Identified challenges include communication gaps, inadequate planning and preparedness, deficient risk management, competency issues, documentation problems, and lack of accountability. Key CSFs are effective decision-making, time management, team management, and the role of project managers. The findings provide guidance for policymakers, liquidators, and receivers to improve the implementation of the Housing Development Act for assessing rehabilitation contractors. Addressing these challenges and focusing on the CSFs is essential for successful AHP rehabilitation, mitigating losses, resolving issues, and enhancing the reputation of the authorities.

Authors: Nurhidayah Md Isa; Mohamad Zahierruden Ismail; Z. M. Ramly
Year: 2024

Developing a robust rail network has always been a priority for countries, especially those in the process of development. The growth of the rail industry plays a crucial role in boosting a nation’s economy and productivity. The purpose of this paper is to provide an in-depth review aimed at establishing a standardized framework for identifying and categorizing the factors affecting cost performance in rail projects. As the Malaysian government actively develops rail projects intending to transition public transport from road to rail, it is evident that the Malaysian railway industry lacks sufficient academic research on topics related to construction cost management, hence the performance of this study. To achieve this purpose, a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was performed on multiple journal publications related to rail project management spanning from 2016 to 2023. Ultimately, 23 publications had been selected to be critically analyzed, focusing on research related to rail cost management. The analysis sheds light on current research trends, highlights gaps in existing knowledge, and suggests potential avenues for future research. A well-structured plan can enhance the expertise of cost managers by emphasizing essential requirements. Furthermore, the thorough examination of the literature delves into the fundamental concepts of this subject. Researchers can draw valuable insights from these assessments, guiding them towards areas where research is most needed and providing stakeholders and academics with discoveries for enhancing rail project cost management in the future.
A Value-Added Predictive Defect Type Distribution Model Based on Project Characteristics
Authors: Youngki Hong; Jongmoon Baik; In-Young Ko; Ho‐Jin Choi
Year: 2008

In software project management, there are three major factors to predict and control; size, effort, and quality. Much software engineering work has focused on these. When it comes to software quality, there are various possible quality characteristics of software, but in practice, quality management frequently revolves around defects, and delivered defect density has become the current de facto industry standard. Thus, research related to software quality has been focused on modeling residual defects in software in order to estimate software reliability. Currently, software engineering literature still does not have a complete defect prediction for a software product although much work has been performed to predict software quality. On the other side, the number of defects alone cannot be sufficient information to provide the basis for planning quality assurance activities and assessing them during execution. That is, for project management to be improved, we need to predict other possible information about software quality such as in-process defects, their types, and so on. In this paper, we propose a new approach for predicting the distribution of defects and their types based on project characteristics in the early phase. For this approach, the model for prediction was established using the curve-fitting method and regression analysis. The maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) was used in fitting the Weibull probability density function to the actual defect data, and regression analysis was used in identifying the relationship between the project characteristics and the Weibull parameters. The research model was validated by cross-validation.
A SURVEY OF THE PROBLEM AND TECHNIQUES IN RESOURCE ALLOCATION FOR MULTI-PROJECT SOFTWARE PROJECTS
Authors: Олександр Аратовський; Віра Любченко
Year: 2024

Managing multiple software projects concurrently presents challenges in resource allocation. This study explores these issues and potential solutions. We conducted research to identify and categorise the most pressing problems in this domain and evaluate the effectiveness of various techniques proposed to mitigate these challenges. The key challenges identified are resource underutilisation, inefficiency, and conflict. Projects often suffer from long durations, uncertainties, and cost overruns. Traditional project management methods, such as the Critical Path Method and Program Evaluation and Review Technique, assume unlimited resources and are designed for single-project environments, rendering them inadequate for multi-project scenarios. Consequently, more recent research has explored advanced approaches to develop more effective scheduling solutions, including heuristic algorithms, genetic algorithms, and hybrid methods. Still, they lack performance guarantees and may not consistently achieve optimal results. The study examines how researchers tackle these issues. Techniques include using upper and lower bounds for concurrent activities, project buffers, and optimising project makespan for better resource utilisation. Additionally, allocating the right people to projects and coordinated planning for resource-constrained scenarios are explored. The research indicates that multi-stage hybrid approaches utilising machine learning techniques yield the most promising results. Therefore, future research should focus on applying ML techniques to select the optimal algorithm and incorporate historical data, representing a promising direction for advancing this field. This analysis provides insights for researchers seeking to develop improved approaches to resource allocation in multi-project software development.
Quantity Surveying and its Association with Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Digital Twin (DT)
Authors: J. Wao
Year: 2024

Quantity surveyors (QS) have many roles in the construction industry, and one of such roles is preparing bills of quantities that mainly entails taking measurements and pricing of construction work. They also develop schedule of project work, engage in construction project management, arbitration as well as dispute resolutions. Quantity take-off was their original role during 1820s when QS profession first came into existence. Critical observations brought criticisms that the profession would not survive if a tool could be developed that substituted QS roles in construction. Contingent to that criticism has seen the emergence of Building Information Modeling (BIM) that has specific attributes where the BIM technology can be used to quantify building works and produce schedule of works including cost loaded schedule in a 4D and 5D model interface respectively. Thus far, has the BIM technological innovation posed threats to the QS roles and/or to the profession? What of digital twin (DT)? The aim of this research was to investigate the QS and its association with BIM and DT innovation in the construction industry and to evaluate their future in the industry. Are they a bane or boon to the QS profession? Specific objectives were to determine the extent of BIM usage by QS, the level of the current usage and the future of QS considering BIM growth in the construction field. Strength, Weakness, Opportunity and Threat (SWOT) analysis was conducted about BIM usage. Survey questionnaire was administered to investigate the use of BIM and DT, current usage and future standing in construction. The results showed that BIM and DT were opportunities that added to the progress of QS. It was concluded that QS needed to embrace BIM technology more with integration of digital twins for full benefits in the construction industry.

The importance of managing complexity in innovation has been highlighted both in research and practice, however the question remains: how can this be accomplished? Although there have been answers to this question, the practical alignment of process (project management) and system (technical management) viewpoints remains understudied. We responded to this challenge with an in‐depth case study in high‐tech industry. In this paper we applied Human Centered Design (HCD) and Action Research (AR) principles in a novel context, namely systems engineering. We identified main barriers and key players, essential information elements, and solution requirements. Using co‐design, we iteratively generated solution concepts, out of which we selected and evaluated one candidate concept. We highlight two main areas in our results: 1) how participatory approaches can support solving systems engineering challenges in practice; and 2) how to align the process and system viewpoints. For the first, we discuss the implications, considering aspects like the time and effort investment, along with the benefits of ownership, empathy, democracy, and collective learning. Our insights show potential to further build on the application of participatory approaches in systems engineering to match existing solutions to the practice. For the latter one, we reflect on issues such as information overload, human aspects, and the new relationship between project managers and systems engineers. Considering the current complexity demands, it is crucial to establish a better alignment between these roles and between process and system viewpoints, as they cannot be left undefined and unsupported any longer.

Authors: Sujitkumar Phunde; S. Sanap
Year: 2023

The present study aimed to examine the diffusion of evolving project management practices in context of value management, especially in Indian Project Based manufacturing industry. This paper aims to investigate for requirement of enhanced role of Project Manager in the context of establishing value management processes in organisation. With evolving research in project and simultaneously in value management, emerges with key recommendations for enhanced role of project manager. This paper attempts to identify and compile key research recommendations and put the two checks on it. One is whether project industry accept that these recommendations are required for their implementation or practicing and two, to what extent, these recommendations really implemented that means diffused in practice. These findings, presented statistically, give macro-view of acceptance of value management practices by practitioners and gap indetification of more penetration of these practices into organisation is evidend. This also indicates the strength of link in between researcher and practitioner and provokes for mutual dialogues for practicing value management.

Embedding digital technologies in healthcare has the potential to streamline and personalize medical care. However, healthcare systems are often fragmented, and therefore achieving a truly integrated digital health program can be challenging. To promote a streamlined, evidence-based approach to implementing digital health solutions in a healthcare system, the Murdoch Children's Research Institute (MCRI) established the Digital Health Translation and Implementation Program (DHTI) bringing together clinicians, researchers and digital health experts. From the program commencement, frontline clinical innovators have collaborated with DHTI team members to develop and implement digital solutions to address pain-points in the healthcare system. Throughout this program, important lessons have been learnt relating to the development, evaluation and implementation of digital solutions in the healthcare system. This paper explores these lessons and makes recommendations for the successful implementation of digital health solutions in healthcare systems under five main categories: (1) design and usability, (2) stakeholder engagement and uptake, (3) project management and resourcing, (4) process and implementation, and (5) evaluation. Recommendations suggested here are designed to support future healthcare-based digital health programs to maximize the impact digital solutions can have on the healthcare system and patients.
Impact of Pandemic SARS COVID-19 on Different Construction Project Management: Problems and Solutions
Authors: Rasha A Waheeb; K. Wheib; B. Andersen; Rafea Al-Suhiili
Year: 2022

This study discusses risk management strategies caused by pandemic-related (Covid-19) suspensions in thirty-six engineering projects of different types and sizes selected from countries in the middle east and especially Iraq. The primary data collection method was a survey and questionnaire completed by selected project crew and laborers. Data were processed using Microsoft Excel to construct models to help decision-makers find solutions to the scheduling problems that may be expected to occur during a pandemic. A theoretical and practical concept for project risk management that addresses a range of global and local issues that affect schedule and cost is presented and results indicate that the most significant delays are due to a lack of good project risk management skills and remote project management capability which is exacerbated by shortfalls in technical development and information technology.
THE ANALYSIS AND REVIEW OF AGILE PROJECT MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORKS FOR SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT
Authors: M. Stelmachenko
Year: 2024

Considering the unceasing market competition in the software development industry, engineering organizations tend to regularly assess their approaches to project coordination, which consequently triggers the discovery of new facilitation methods that can enable teams to achieve maximum performance, efficiency, and flexibility. The appearance of Agile frameworks and methods can serve as a perfect example of the internal self-assessment and need-identification process that leads to the formation of practices that are designed not only to solve the existing pain points of specific groups but also to provide teams with a powerful tool that can support its long-term growth and processes enhancement. Global trends confirm that the best software engineering and coordination practices typically demonstrate a high adoption rate even outside of the initial environment, hence it is logical to assume that Agile is not an exception from this rule. Historically, the Agile way of thinking (so-called Agile manifesto) was created as a representation of a specific group’s values as related to workplace activities and was based on engineers’ prior experience with software development projects. Given that the Agile Manifesto defines a set of recommendations and policies that help software development teams keep a fair balance between technical aspects of the project and client-related endeavours, it potentially brings a number of methodical improvements for the sake of maximum adaptability [1]. Therefore, the cultivation and development of such an Agile-oriented mindset provides teams with a shortcut to enhanced workplace processes with an emphasis on value creation, adaptation, and versatility.
Promoters as social controls to facilitate knowledge sharing, conflict management and innovation project portfolio performance
Authors: Dietfried Globocnik; Rita Faullant
Year: 2024

Organizational control theory emphasizes aligning members' actions with organizational goals through formal and social controls. In innovation management, formal controls like project management or stage‐gate processes are limited to measurable and standardized areas. For situations that are complex, unpredictable and highly idiosyncratic, social controls need to be applied for alignment. Knowledge sharing and competitive conflicts are two such innovation‐related phenomena that elude formal control and instead need social controls for alignment. In this research, we propose that promoters—individuals who actively support innovation—serve as social control agents. While previous research has shown the positive effect of single promoters on individual innovation project success, we propose a comprehensive implementation of all four promoter roles, and we test their joint effect on the intermediate outcomes of knowledge sharing and competitive conflict management facilitating innovation project portfolio performance. Drawing on cross‐industry data of 125 firms collected from 986 employees, this article provides empirical evidence that comprehensive implementation of all four promoter roles enhances knowledge sharing and reduces competitive conflicts, thereby improving innovation project portfolio performance. The research reframes promoters as social control agents, emphasizing their collective necessity for managing complex organizational issues and contributing to overall project success.

Authors: S. Joshi; Kirsten A. Davis; Amena S. Shermadou; Bruno Staszkiewicz Garcia
Year: 2022

This Research Full Paper aims to understand student experiences on global virtual teams in depth by exploring the challenges that students face, how they approach them, and how they assess their response to overcoming these challenges. During the COVID-19 pandemic, intercultural learning opportunities such as study abroad were limited, and many universities implemented global virtual team projects as an alternative approach to developing intercultural skills. Prior research of these programs has focused on identifying best practices, challenges, and learning outcomes, but has provided few insights into students’ experiences in these projects. To explore these experiences, we collected written reflections from 65 students participating in global virtual team projects in the middle and at the end of the semester. We analyzed these data using a thematic analysis approach. We identified three main types of challenges that students experienced: group cohesion, communication, and project management. Students approached these challenges by making changes at the personal and the team level. Most notably, students tended to take a positive view of their approaches to addressing the challenges by suggesting that they found a solution, had a positive learning experience, or identified skills they wanted to improve in future projects. The results of this study can inform the design of global virtual project courses and encourage conversations about team conflict and how to address it while working in virtual cross-cultural environments.
Data Warehousing Infusion and Organizational Effectiveness
Authors: K. Ramamurthy; Arun Sen; Atish P. Sinha
Year: 2008

Data warehousing (DW) has emerged as one of the most powerful technology innovations in recent years to support organization-wide decision making and has become a key component in the information technology (IT) infrastructure. Proponents of DW claim that its infusion can dramatically enhance the ability of businesses to improve the access, distribution, and sharing of information and provide managerial decision support for complex business questions. DW is also an enabling technology for data mining, customer-relationship management, and other business-intelligence applications. Although data warehouses have been around for quite some time, they have been plagued by high failure rates and limited spread or use. Drawing upon past research on the adoption and diffusion of innovations and on the implementation of information systems (IS), we examine the key organizational and innovation factors that influence the infusion (diffusion) of DW within organizations and also examine if more extensive infusion leads to improved organizational outcomes. In this paper, we conducted a field study, where two senior managers (one from IS and the other from a line function) from 117 companies participated, and developed a structural model to test the research hypotheses. The results indicate that four of the seven variables examined in this paper-organizational support, quality of the project management process, compatibility, and complexity-significantly influence the degree of infusion of DW and that the infusion, in turn, significantly influences organization-level benefits and stakeholder satisfaction. The findings of this paper have interesting implications for both research and practice in IT and DW infusion, as well as in the organization-level impact of the infusion of enterprise-wide infrastructural and decision support technologies such as DW.
