Electronic Exercises for the Metra Potential Method
Authors: Markus Siepermann; Christoph Siepermann; R. Lackes
Year: 2013

The metra potential method as a special precedence diagram method is used in many scientific disciplines, e.g. in project management, dateand capacity-planning. It is a combination of graphical modelling and calculations for the duration of projects/processes. In this paper, we introduce an e-learning system that provides exercises concerning the metra potential method. Students can freely model the diagrams without restrictions and do the necessary calculations. Then, their solutions are marked automatically on the basis of a reference solution. The calculations are based on the modelling, thus consecutive faults between modelling and calculation have to be considered as well as consecutive faults only during the calculation.

Year: 2024

Abstract. The article focuses on exploring mathematical models for optimizing business processes in project management within IT companies in the context of contemporary trends and challenges. Project management involves the process of guiding and coordinating people's activities, as well as managing material and financial resources throughout the project's lifecycle. This process encompasses applying modern management methods and techniques to achieve project goals. The dynamic allocation modeling of IT projects among teams to ensure high-quality development at maximum efficiency with minimal costs is a pertinent task in IT project management. The article's objective is to select a mathematical framework for decision-making regarding the optimal IT project management program to enhance the efficiency of each IT team and the entire IT company. The research involved an analysis of scientific literature on modeling project management in IT companies. The article proposes focusing on developing dynamic multi-criteria optimization models for human resource management, emphasizing the distribution of IT projects among executing teams. The research aims to elevate the strategic and operational levels of IT personnel management to achieve optimal outcomes in information technology. The analysis concludes that despite the advantages of various mathematical modeling methods, none of them in isolation allows for constructing a sufficiently detailed mathematical model. Methods and models addressing IT enterprise modeling problems may oversimplify the issue or, conversely, overly complicate it, complicating the selection of input data. The functioning of the IT enterprise was analyzed through the lens of external and internal indicators concerning the solved task. A verbal model of IT project distribution among teams, considering the time factor, was developed. This model formulated a system of basic concepts and ideas, allowing the dynamic formulation of the problem using widely accepted linear optimization models. This will facilitate finding optimal solutions for IT project distribution tasks over a specific period. Future research should focus on selecting a solution method for the model and implementing the constructed mathematical model using appropriate tools. The research findings presented can serve as a basis for further academic exploration and practical application in the field of IT project management. Keywords: modeling, optimization, business processes, project management, labor resources, IT projects.

Authors: Modjadji Christina Mamatlepa; A. Mazenda
Year: 2024

The study investigates the importance of project management tools and techniques (PMTTs) in the success of information communication technology (ICT) projects in the Department of Social Development (DSD) in South Africa. It identifies the challenges of using PMTTs in ICT projects and suggests ways to effectively incorporate PMTTs in ICT project success. The non-probability purposive sampling method was used to identify 16 officials and stakeholders in ICT project management, whose responses to were thematically analysed. The study found that the most-used PMTTs for delivering ICT projects were the Agile project management methodology, collaboration tools like email systems and the Microsoft Teams platform, work breakdown structures, project dashboards, the Waterfall model, the Scrum framework, and cost-benefit analysis. Using PMTTs in project execution has many benefits, including increased project success probability, enhanced project predictability, boosted stakeholder confidence, heightened efficiency, improved communication, and the formalisation of the project methodology. The study identified a range of implementation challenges, including a lack of enforcement or inadequate implementation of the tools, a dearth of general expertise in the usage of specialised tools, misalignment of departmental and ICT strategies, lack of stakeholder participation, non-adherence to project governance, lack of continued training, inconsistencies with reporting, resource incapacitation, poor planning, and changes in scope by business users. To bolster PMTTs’ capacity to drive ICT projects in the DSD, the study recommends enforcing the use of all PMTTs, recruiting and retaining talent, involving all stakeholders, providing advanced training to all users (including management and not just ICT officials), and strengthening ICT governance.
Ensemble missing data techniques for software effort prediction
Authors: Bhekisipho Twala; M. Cartwright
Year: 2010

Constructing an accurate effort prediction model is a challenge in software engineering. The development and validation of models that are used for prediction tasks require good quality data. Unfortunately, software engineering datasets tend to suffer from the incompleteness which could result to inaccurate decision making and project management and implementation. Recently, the use of machine learning algorithms has proven to be of great practical value in solving a variety of software engineering problems including software prediction, including the use of ensemble (combining) classifiers. Research indicates that ensemble individual classifiers lead to a significant improvement in classification performance by having them vote for the most popular class. This paper proposes a method for improving software effort prediction accuracy produced by a decision tree learning algorithm and by generating the ensemble using two imputation methods as elements. Benchmarking results on ten industrial datasets show that the proposed ensemble strategy has the potential to improve prediction accuracy compared to an individual imputation method, especially if multiple imputation is a component of the ensemble.
Managing Global R&amp;D Projects: Practical Experience in Building Project Management Competency
Authors: Rakesh Singh; K. Hofmann
Year: 2012

Global R&D Projects for developing software products using globally distributed teams are excellent examples of exploiting most talented and skilled resources to develop innovative products at affordable cost. Due to nature of collaboration, the global teams need to work as a single cohesive unit, or a virtual team, and this is a major challenge. The global Project Manager (PM) needs to be supported by highly competent local PM responsible for the local team. As some of these organizations have used a Global Software Engineering (GSE) model for over a decade, the local teams have evolved as Centers of Competence. This means the local PM needs to interact directly with experts of different disciplines such as sales, marketing, product management, services and compliance. The PM competency development program needs significant enhancement in content and approach to support the new role and responsibility. Siemens is one of the leading proponents and beneficiaries of GSE and many of its business divisions work in collaboration with software engineering teams at its Corporate Technology Development Centre India (CT DC IN). These software teams with size ranging from 10-80 engineers need a local Project Manager working along with the global PM. To ensure success of collaboration, local PMs need to have competency in software technology, domain know-how, resource management, people management and handling of inter-cultural issues. This paper shares experience gained from planning and delivery of a dedicated competency development program designed for project managers with their individual working experience ranging from 8-20 years. This program integrated existing external and internal courses and parts of a governance framework into a single curriculum lasting 3 months. During execution of the program valuable information was gathered providing useful insight to improve the effectiveness and acceptance of the program.

Authors: Osama A. I. Hussain; R. Moehler; Stuart D. C. Walsh; D. Ahiaga-Dagbui
Year: 2024

Integration of 5D Building Information Modeling (BIM) into large rail projects has the potential to significantly enhance cost management and control. Nevertheless, 5D-BIM implementation has encountered difficulties stemming from technical, functional, and governance-related factors. This paper builds a conceptual framework to support financial decision making, enhances project management, and promotes efficient project delivery. The framework encompasses a set of interrelated elements that include project governance, BIM policies and standards, digital platforms, BIM LOD, cost-estimation classification, and continuous improvement. The proposed framework acknowledges the significance of project governance in guiding and organizing the implementation of 5D-BIM. Additionally, BIM policies and standards ensure the adherence to quality standards for the produced BIM models. Digital platforms serve as the basis for multiple users to generate, access, share, and exchange project information. BIM LOD promotes collaboration and coordination among all project stakeholders. Cost-estimation classification aligns the estimation process with the development of project scope and financial decision making. Continuous improvement plays a vital role in optimizing processes, enhancing efficiency, and achieving higher-quality outcomes. Moreover, it fosters stakeholder satisfaction, improves project performance, and nurtures a conducive environment for innovation and learning. The study analyzes the framework utilization in Victorian rail projects and identifies key implementation challenges. The main technical hurdles encountered were the lack of current horizontal infrastructure standards for data exchange and the lack of compatibility with current cost-management standards. Increased project complexity and the absence of clear project governance strategies and processes also posed organizational challenges. A further validation of the framework in real-world rail projects was recommended to achieve the implementation goals.

Year: 2014

The purpose of this article is to develop a new method for corporate diagnosis (CD). To this end, a method is developed for the diagnosis process of project-based companies. The article presents a case study in a large company where data have been collected through focus groups. Project delay, high project cost, and low profitability are examples of project deficiency in project-based companies. Such issues have made managers pay special attention to find effective solutions to improve them. Prominent factors are inappropriate strategy, structure, system, human resource management, and PMBOK(Project Management Body of Knowledge) processes. Thus, CD and analysis is an important task in improvement of corporate performance. The CD model that is developed in this article could be used for project-based companies. The proposed method can be used for CD in any project-based company. This article provides an emphatic application of CD as a prerequisite for restructuring in project-based companies.
Fuzzy Use Case Points as a Basis for Effort Estimation
Authors: Rakhmi Khalida; T. M. Kusuma; Khairunnisa Fadhilla Ramdhania
Year: 2023

Many software development projects encounter problems related to over- or under-estimation of effort. Accurate effort estimation is crucial for successful project management, but it can be challenging when resources are limited, and little is known about the project. The commonly used method for effort estimation is Use Case Points (UCP), which is mainly used for application-based objects and takes use cases as input. However, UCP has weaknesses, particularly in the high variation of weight factor values for Unadjusted Use Case Weight (UUCW). To address this problem, Fuzzy Use Case Points (FUCP), which is a combination of fuzzy logic and use case points, can be used. By applying fuzzy logic to the UUCW category, FUCP derives new weight factor values for UUCW. The implementation of FUCP to calculate effort estimation in ten government-based projects in this research has shown that FUCP yields the closest value to the actual effort required. It has also been demonstrated that FUCP outperforms UCP in terms of accuracy, with an improvement of 6.51%.
