Understanding Coordination in the Information Systems Domain: Conceptualization and Implications
Authors: Lars Taxén; R. Riedl
Year: 2016

The purpose of this paper is to suggest a new conceptualization of coordination in the Information Systems (IS) domain. The conceptualization is based on neurobiological predispositions for coordinating actions. We assume that human evolution has led to the development of a neurobiological substrate enabling coordination of everyday actions. A discussion of six activity modalities (contextualization, objectivation, spatialization, temporalization, stabilization, and transition) constitutes the core of this article. Specifically, we discuss that collective functioning of these modalities is essential for successful coordination. This finding is illustrated based on application of our conceptualization in important IS research areas, including project management and interface design. Generally, our new conceptualization holds value for coordination research on all four levels of analysis which we identified based on a review of the IS literature (i.e., group, intra-organization, inter-organization, and IT artifact). In this way, our new approach, grounded in neurobiological findings, provides a high-level theory to explain coordination success, or coordination failure, and hence is independent from a specific level of analysis. From a practitioner’s perspective, the conceptualization provides a guideline for the design of organizational interventions and IT artifacts. Since social initiatives are essential in multiple IS domains (e.g., software development, implementation of enterprise systems), and because the design of collaborative software tools is an important IS topic, this paper contributes to a fundamental phenomenon in the IS domain, and does so from a new conceptual perspective.
An Advanced Stochastic Time‐Cost Tradeoff Analysis Based on a CPM‐Guided Genetic Algorithm
Authors: Hyung-Guk Lee; Chang-Yong Yi; Dong-Eun Lee; D. Arditi
Year: 2015

This article presents an advanced stochastic time‐cost tradeoff (ASTCT) method that performs time‐cost tradeoff analysis by identifying optimal set(s) of construction methods for activities, hence reducing the project completion time and cost simultaneously. ASTCT involves a stochastic time‐cost tradeoff analysis method based on a critical path method (CPM)‐guided genetic algorithm (GA). It makes use of CPM schedule data exported from a project management software, and alternative construction methods obtained from estimators (i.e., normal and accelerated durations and costs) for each activity. It simulates schedule networks, identifies an optimal set of GA parameters (i.e., population size, crossover rate, mutation rate, and stopping rule), implements several GA cycles, and computes near‐optimal solution(s) exhaustively. This study is of value to practitioners because ASTCT improves the computation time, reliability, and usability of existing GA‐based time‐cost tradeoff methods. The study is also of relevance to researchers because it facilitates experiments using different GA parameters expeditiously. Two test cases verify the usability and validity of the computational methods.
A comparison of software project overruns - flexible versus sequential development models
Authors: Kjetil Moløkken-Østvold; M. Jørgensen
Year: 2005

Flexible software development models, e.g., evolutionary and incremental models, have become increasingly popular. Advocates claim that among the benefits of using these models is reduced overruns, which is one of the main challenges of software project management. This paper describes an in-depth survey of software development projects. The results support the claim that projects which employ a flexible development model experience less effort overruns than do those which employ a sequential model. The reason for the difference is not obvious. We found, for example, no variation in project size, estimation process, or delivered proportion of planned functionality between projects applying different types of development model. When the managers were asked to provide reasons for software overruns and/or estimation accuracy, the largest difference was that more of flexible projects than sequential projects cited good requirement specifications-and good collaboration/communication with clients as contributing to accurate estimates.
Enhancing Software Project Management Courses With Industry Participation
Authors: D. Tahmoush; Sandro Fouché; S. McMaster; Jeff Stuckman; James M. Purtilo
Year: 2009

It is difficult to convince students that proper software engineering methodology is useful until they face a large project with serious deadlines based on legacy code. Without a realistic experience, students often do not understand why software engineering processes exist or are valuable. Without legacy code, the frustrations of software maintenance and upgrades are never truly imparted to students. By teaching students via a real software company experience with multi-semester projects managed by experienced students, teaching software engineering can become a rewarding experience for students with significant improvement in their future employability. The project management students gain significant insight into project management as well as a greater appreciation of software engineering when it is their project that they have to run. We describe how to teach very real lessons about software engineering, teamwork, and the realization that their code and client relationships will have be inherited by another class.

Revitalising project management office operations in an engineering-service contractor organisation: a key performance indicator based performance management approach
Authors: Randell Jared Mahabir; K. Pun
Year: 2022

PurposeExisting studies on project performance improvement mainly investigate project management (PM) execution processes. Limited publications investigate the project management office's (PMO) proficiency in facilitating proper PM practice. This paper identifies the key performance indicators (KPI) of PMO operations and develops a KPI-based performance management system (KPMS) for revitalising PMO performance for an engineering-service contractor (ESC).Design/methodology/approachA four-phase study was initiated at an ESC in Trinidad and Tobago (T&T). Phase-1 established historical project performance and PMO challenges via documentary analysis. Empirical data from the PMO staff and management was acquired at Phase-2 to determine PMO process value-drivers and strategic roles. Phase-3 comprised the development of a modified PMO process and the KPMS, whereas Phase-4 evaluated the efficacy of the PMO process and the KPMS framework in a trial period.FindingsThe ESC's existing PMO process lacked significant value-drivers of its PM practice. The company also overlooked strategic PMO roles. Trial implementation of the modified PMO process achieved improved project performance, which stakeholders attributed to the value-driven processes and guidance provided by the KPMS. The KPMS, when used in tandem with Earned Value Management (EVM) index score review revealed core performance aspects that could facilitate continuous improvement of the PMO process at the ESC.Practical implicationsFindings provide an adequate basis for policy creation regarding PMO performance evaluation and guidance for companies contemplating a similar endeavour. A viable model for PMO performance management and improvement is proffered. The findings and the model would provide a platform for subsequent research in the areas of PMO development and business process improvement.Originality/valueThis is the first study conducted to obtain management and practitioners' inputs on developing a PMO performance management framework in a project-based contractor organisation in T&T. Various PMO challenges and implications of improvements specific to engineering-service contractors and similar organisations were determined.

Year: 2018

. Software project management is a core competency for today’s software engineering. However, most undergraduate software project management courses are not prepared for the new generation of software engineers. One reason is that instructors are not giving the students the tools that would enable the development of competencies to apply all knowledge areas covered by a PMBOK-based course. In particular, we are concerned with competencies related to project monitoring and control which are difficult to be put in practice in a classroom scenario. This paper presents our experiences and results in designing a software project management course including project execution simulation. This simulation gives students the opportunity to apply project monitoring and control competencies based on data provided by the project execution simulation. We have piloted the approach and observed positive perceptions towards it by a cohort of 19 students.
Recognizing and using goals in event management
Authors: D. Smith; H. Lieberman
Year: 2009

Personal event management involves planning when, where and how events should occur, making sure the event's prerequisites are satisfied, and developing contingencies for when things go wrong. Conventional calendar and project management tools, however, only record and visualize explicit human decisions regarding event specifics. We present Event Minder, a calendar program that takes into account the goals for which the events are scheduled. Users can input descriptions of events in natural language, mixing high-level objectives, concrete time and place decisions, and omit "obvious" common sense details. A commonsense knowledge base provides sensible defaults, and machine learning refines these defaults with experience. We can make recommendations for alternative plans, including alternatives that satisfy higher-level goals in different ways as well as those that meet immediate constraints. Our current system covers dining-related events, integrating commonsense with domain knowledge about specific restaurants, bars and hotels.

A Hybrid Differential Evolution with Cuckoo Search for Solving Resource Constrained Project Scheduling Problems
Authors: Karam M. Sallam; R. Chakrabortty; M. Ryan
Year: 2019

The Resource Constrained Project Scheduling problem (RCPSP) has been considered as a scheduling problem which has a wide range of applications in construction industries, manufacturing, production planning and project management domains. To solve such RCPSPs, in this paper we propose a hybrid algorithm that utilizes the strengths of both differential evolution (DE) and cuckoo search (CS) algorithm in one framework called hybrid differential evolution with cuckoo search (DECS) algorithm. In it, a selection mechanism based on the solutions' quality and populations' diversity is used to select the most appropriate algorithm during the evolutionary process. A linear population reduction mechanism is utilized to update the DE population size. A number of data sets of single-mode RCPSPs from the project scheduling library (PSPLIB) have been considered and solved by the proposed hybrid DECS algorithm. Computational results and comparisons with some recent state-of-the-art algorithms show that DECS is able to produce very high quality results.

Authors: Hakan İnaç; Ege Cem Saltık
Year: 2024

In the dynamic landscape of digital project management, effective project monitoring is critical for successful project outcomes. The emergence of digital project management platforms has revolutionized the way projects are monitored, enabling real-time collaboration and data-driven decision-making. Periodic site visits and gathering input from all project stakeholders are crucial for ensuring clear understanding of project progress by states institutional. With digital project management systems, on-site progress should be monitored in real-time and inclusive of all project stakeholders. The research investigates how collaborative monitoring fosters project progress of transparency and active engagement among project partners. By providing real-time visibility into project progress, tasks, and milestones, these platforms empower stakeholders with up-to-date information, enabling agile decision-making and prompt risk mitigation. This study explores how digital project management platforms integrate site monitoring evaluations and reporting tools, providing valuable data-driven insights into project performance. By considering periodic analytics, project partners can improve resource allocation, decision making process against possible bottlenecks at construction stages and boost productivity and inform states institutional to monitor project progress closely. Furthermore, the research examines the influence of these platforms on communication dynamics, promoting communication and efficient information exchange among project partners. Such enhanced communication capabilities result in improved team cohesion and collaboration, driving the project forward with synchronized efforts. In this study, the focus lies on tracking the progress of contractual agreements through digital platforms, enabling all stakeholders to monitor advancements. Specifically, the investigation centers on how the designated contractor responsible for project execution and the consulting firm appointed by the project owner can effectively track project progress on a periodic basis using digital platforms. In the context of transportation projects in Turkey, a digital project tracking system has been developed for the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure, through which data obtained from on-site visits and consultant opinions regarding project advancements are shared with the Ministry. Subsequently, the responsible contracting authority, guided by the consultant's feedback, can respond and evaluate progress accordingly. This approach ensures that project advancements are accurately monitored by all stakeholders of the project. To do so, this study investigates the utilization of the prepared digital platform to facilitate rapid and precise contract monitoring by all project stakeholders, encompassing the opening information and assessment evaluations based on stakeholders' perspectives.
