Quality Management in Software Development
Authors: Martin D. Birulia
Year: 2024

Introduction. The scientific literature examines various approaches to quality management in information technology (IT). The issues of identifying and correcting defects are worked out, and the possibilities for minimizing them are shown. There are materials on quality management in complex engineering processes. At the same time, there is no detailed description of quality management at each stage of the IT product life cycle, including testing. It should be noted that the coordination of software releases is closely related to quality management, but this process is rarely or fragmentarily considered in the literature. Additionally, the interprocess communication is not taken into account; therefore, there is no comprehensive understanding of quality management in the creation, testing and refinement of software. This study is designed to fill these gaps. The research is aimed at presenting a comprehensive approach that links the theory, practice and methods of software quality management.Materials and Methods. Theoretical and applied literature on the subject were studied, analyzed, and reviewed. The author's professional background in managing the quality of IT products was used. The practices of global suppliers of digital goods and services were taken into account. The author has used these materials and methods to study in detail the issues of software testing and code deployment.Results. A comprehensive model of quality management in software development is elaborated, described and presented in the form of a diagram. Its interconnections with the project management model and the product life cycle, namely: analysis, design, development, testing, deployment, and support, are identified. Principles of quality management at each of these stages are specified. The processes and checks during code deployment are systematized and presented in the form of a diagram. Their features are shown in three environments: during development, testing, and production.Discussion and Conclusion. The algorithm allows quality experts to build the sequence of actions to eliminate detected defects in the future, understand the situation when it is possible (or impossible) to deploy code, and determine the moment when the software should be transferred to the user. In addition, the proposed scheme can be the basis for automating code deployment. The solution will reduce development time. As a result, the product will enter the market faster, which will speed up the payback of costs. The implementation of the model created within the framework of this scientific work into the production practice of IT companies presupposes strategic changes. Their implementation requires significant time and other resources; therefore, the overall transformation process should be divided into parts. The proposed approach is adaptable to the needs of various organizations and products. You can work with individual components to create an optimal plan for achieving quality management goals.
Modeling External Risks in Project Management
Authors: J. Palomo; D. Rios Insua; F. Ruggeri
Year: 2007

To ascertain the viability of a project, undertake resource allocation, take part in bidding processes, and other related decisions, modern project management requires forecasting techniques for cost, duration, and performance of a project, not only under normal circumstances, but also under external events that might abruptly change the status quo. We provide a Bayesian framework that provides a global forecast of a project's performance. We aim at predicting the probabilities and impacts of a set of potential scenarios caused by combinations of disruptive events, and using this information to deal with project management issues. To introduce the methodology, we focus on a project's cost, but the ideas equally apply to project duration or performance forecasting. We illustrate our approach with an example based on a real case study involving estimation of the uncertainty in project cost while bidding for a contract.

An Approach to Optimizing Kanban Board Workflow and Shortening the Project Management Plan
Authors: Nadja Damij; Talib Damij
Year: 2021

Kanban is a well-known agile method first implemented in Toyota's manufacturing process in the 1950s, later spreading across various industries and academic fields. It focuses on process and project improvement in different fields and emphasizes a team's ability to improve the efficiency of day-to-day activities by implementing the core practices (e.g., visualizing workflow, limiting work-in-progress, managing flow). The efficiency of day-to-day activities is crucial in every process, yet, recent times have called for a new out-of-the-box approach to address the challenges companies face. While the literature review presents efficiency improvements through the use of the core practices, one of the biggest problems while implementing Kanban is shown to be the setting of effective work-in-progress limits. This article addresses this issue and proves that the workflow does not exclusively depend on the work-in-progress limits—as the core practices suggest—but on determining the optimal relationship (solution) among the replenishment value, resource capacity, and work-in-progress limits. Such an approach ensures that the workflow pace on the Kanban board is sustainable by reducing the number of work items in queues as well as people's idleness. The proposed empirical approach runs a series of simulation scenarios aimed at helping to identify the optimal relationship among the three mentioned elements for generating a sustainable workflow pace and minimizing work/people's idleness.

In the nineteenth and early twentieth century the Medžimurje horse played an important role as a draft and working horse in the river Mura region. Nowadays, this area is split between Hungary, Austria, Slovenia and Croatia. In the frame of the project "Management of traditional transboundary breeds on example of a nearly forgotten breed the Murinsulaner", we collected data for cold blooded horses similar to the Medžimurje horse. Horses of this type do not exist in Austria anymore, in Croatia they were registered as an authothonous breed »Medjimurje horse«, and in Slovenia and Hungary this horse has a special section in the stud book for cold blooded horses as a Medžimurje type of horse. The Slovenian part of the population of the Medžimurje horse is quite heterogeneous regarding body measures. With respect to the scoring system used in the above mentioned project, the majority of scored animals were classified as »desired« or »satisfactory«. In order to further develop or to preserve this type of horse or to form a consolidated breed we would have to make a breeding program which would prevent mating among related animals and to cooperate with neighbouring countries in the field of breeding and selection. The only hope to preserve this type of horse on the long term in the region is by using it as a tourist attraction for carriage riding and/or as a draft horse in agriculture in marginal regions.
An Empirical Study on the Influence of Empowerment Leadership Style on Team Performance: The Mediating Role of Member's Commitment to Team Objectives
Authors: Aniss Ait
Year: 2023

. This study aimed to empirically understand the relationship between empowerment leadership style practices and team performance at work through the mediating effect of member's commitment to team objectives. Based on these reflections, a survey was carried out among 14 Chinese project management companies working in the fields of consulting engineering, information technology, and construction located in Morocco for the construction of the Noor I, Noor II, and Noor III Thermo-solar plants. A face-to-face questionnaire was administered inviting 924 expatriate employees. Confirmatory factor analyses and structural equation analyses made it possible to verify our three hypotheses.The results demonstrate that member's commitment to team Objectives helps to better clarify the relationship between empowerment leadership style practices and team performance to the extent that member's commitment to team objectives plays a mediating role in this relationship. This is because immediate superiors have an influence on team member's, both in terms of team performance, and their dedication to team objectives and their determination to achieve them.

PurposeThe problem of stress is increasingly gaining attention in the construction industry in recent years. This study is aimed at examining the causes, effects and possible alleviation of stress of project management (PM) practitioners so that their stress could be appropriately managed and reduced, which would contribute to improved mental health.Design/methodology/approachPrimary data were collected in an online questionnaire survey via Qualtrics. Questions ranged from PM practitioners’ stressors, stress and performance under stress to stress alleviation tools and techniques. One hundred and five PM practitioners completed the questionnaire. Their responses were compiled and analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation and regression.FindingsThe results confirmed that the identified stressors tended to increase stress of PM practitioners. All stressors tested in this study were found to have negative impact on the performance of PM practitioners. In particular, the burnout stressors were seen as the key stressors that influence the performance of PM practitioners and have a strong correlation with all the other stressors. It was also found that a number of tools and techniques can reduce the impact of stressors on PM practitioners.Originality/valueThis study has taken a specific focus on stress-related issues of PM practitioners in the construction industry due to their critical role in this project-dominated industry. Using the Job Demand-Resource theory, a holistic examination was not only conducted on stress and stressors but also on alleviation tools and techniques. This study has thus made significant contribution to the ongoing research aimed at finding solutions to mental health-related problems in the project-dominated construction industry, thereby achieving the United Nations’ social sustainability development goals.

Comprehensive IT Project Measurement Method
Authors: Arun Korath Sangheethaa S
Year: 2023

: IT project management is a critical component of any organization's technology strategy. Successful IT projects can help organizations achieve their business goals, improve operational efficiency, and gain a competitive advantage. However, poor project management can lead to cost overruns, missed deadlines, and failure to deliver the desired project outcomes. Therefore, it is essential to use effective project management methodologies and tools to ensure that IT projects are completed successfully. These studies highlight the importance of taking a comprehensive approach to IT project measurement that incorporates both traditional project management metrics and measures of business value and stakeholder satisfaction. Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) in IT Project Management are metrics used to measure and evaluate the success of IT projects against specific objectives. These KPIs can help IT project managers to monitor the progress of their projects, make data - driven decisions, and identify areas where improvements can be made to achieve better overall project outcomes, while the Balanced Scorecard and Root Cause Analysis (RCA) can help identify the underlying causes of project issues or failures.

Year: 2016

After an external audit of top-priority projects, the Federal Office for Equipment, Information Technology, and In-Support of the German Armed Forces decided to implement a new project management (PM) system. The new PM system implies major changes in the organization and management of projects and thus affects a large number of stakeholders. We designed a formative evaluation to understand the adequacy and acceptance of the new PM system and to elicit stakeholders’ feedback in order to improve the new PM system and the related transfer strategy prior to rollout. The evaluation also aims at deriving recommendations for increasing the acceptance of the PM system as well as identifying key performance indicators to allow continuous evaluation of the PM system. We chose to perform a multiple-case study in which a sample of stakeholders will try some components of the new PM system and provide feedback on their adequacy. We will also perform interviews and use observations and focus groups to systematically elicit stakeholders’ insights regarding the acceptance of the new PM system and the related transfer strategy.

Commercial-Off-The-Shelf Software Development Framework
Authors: Basem Suleiman
Year: 2008

Budget and schedule savings are the driving factors for the adoption of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) software components by software development organizations. The reliance on COTS components has lead to component-based development (CBD) software systems and introduced changes to the software development process and hence software project management responsibilities and roles. This paper introduces a general framework discussion of essential management aspects for CBD, focusing on COTS. Particularly, stakeholders, requirements, component selection and architecture management issues are discussed from different angles. Some CBD management guidelines and best practices for these aspects are outlined in the conclusion. In addition, CBD management challenges are drawn along with some suggestions in the conclusion section.

Authors: J. O. Adeosun; M. A. Kareem; C. U. Ekekezie
Year: 2024

Building projects are expensive, complicated, and frequently involve several parties with various demands. Since users are the ones who will ultimately use, maintain, and benefit from the projects, successful construction projects are planned, developed, and equipped to meet their needs. The purpose of this study was to assess end users’ involvement in the planning and execution of public building projects in Ekiti State, Nigeria, in order to improve project performance. Information on the extent of end users’ participation in the design and implementation of public projects was gathered through the use of questionnaires with professionals in the ministry of works, directors in the ministry of education, state universal basic education board, contractors and direct users of public building projects. A total of 138 of 143 copies of questionnaires that were distributed were recovered to achieve a rate of 96.5%. Findings revealed that end users were not involved in the planning, execution, or quality control of public building projects when it came to examining the ongoing work or the process of quality assurance. The study concluded that end users are typically satisfied with the outcomes when they are closely involved in the project’s management and participate often. The study therefore recommended that, prior to the project being closed and turned over, end users should be involved in the quality control process to ensure that the project deliverables and outcomes satisfy needs and requirements.

Year: 2014

As concurrent design has changed the landscape of design project management, knowledge management method is introduced in this field to enhance learning in an organization. However, new challenges arise for knowledge management in concurrent design projects: knowledge has changed from domain expert knowledge to organizational cooperative knowledge; simple knowledge conceptualization is not sufficient to represent interactions between concepts. Therefore, aims for these challenges, a new cooperative knowledge discovery method based on semantic networks by classification on concept interactions is proposed.
Resolving Disputes Regarding Trust Financing in Islamic Rural Banks, West Java
Authors: Ahmad Maulidizen
Year: 2024

One form of Islamic banking financing is mudarabah, which is a profit and loss sharing contract between an Islamic bank and a mudarib. This type of contract requires a mutually open attitude between both parties to the advantages and disadvantages of the project undertaken. Therefore, banks should implement a system of monitoring and assessment of project criteria well to avoid risks that may cause bank losses as sahib al-mal. This research uses a mixed method of research, with data collection methods as interviews, questionnaire, observation and document analysis. Which is then analyzed qualitatively by analysis from interviews and observations. For quantitative analysis, factor analysis, regression and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) are conducted. The results of this research are the criteria of projects that need to be supervised by Islamic banking, which are Project Profiles, Payment Guarantee, Project Management, and Prospect project. If the assessment of project criteria is tightened and implemented correctly, mudarabah financing issues can be reduced and resolved.
