An Industrial Case Study of Project Management Using Cross Project Software Reliability Growth Model
Authors: Kiyoshi Honda; Nobuhiro Nakamura; H. Washizaki; Y. Fukazawa
Year: 2016

We propose a method to compare software products developed by the same company in the same domain. Our method, which measures the time series of the number of detected faults, employs software reliability growth models (SRGMs). SRGMs describe the relations between faults and the time necessary to detect them. Herein we propose a method to compare SRGMs across products. To provide managers and developers insight on advances of its products, our method is applied to the datasets for nine projects developed by Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd.
Enhancing Urban Planning with LoRa and GANs: A Project Management Perspective
Authors: S. Dolhopolov; T. Honcharenko; Illia Sachenko; Denys Gergi
Year: 2024

The integration of Long Range (LoRa) technology with Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) marks a significant breakthrough in spatial data processing, with profound implications for urban planning and architectural design project management. Exploring the synergistic potential of marrying LoRa's efficient, long-range communication capabilities with the sophisticated data processing and generative prowess of GANs, the study developed a specialized LoRa model. This model was meticulously trained using a diverse dataset comprising 1,100 instances across various urban and architectural layouts, facilitating the generation of detailed and dynamic 2D site plans. Performance evaluation of the model across multiple epochs revealed a decrease in loss from an initial 0.11 to 0.0577, illustrating a robust learning trajectory and increased accuracy over time. Such progression highlights the model's enhanced capability to produce progressively sophisticated urban designs, pivotal for effective project management in urban development. Significantly, the application of LoRa and GANs boosts the accuracy and detail of spatial representations, thereby improving decision-making in real-time urban planning applications. Most crucially, the integration of these technologies fosters a new paradigm in urban planning characterized by heightened efficiency, scalability, and sustainability. These advancements equip project managers with powerful tools to manage complex urban development projects more effectively, ensuring that planning and implementation phases are closely aligned with project goals.
The case for a marketing content hub
Authors: Tom De Ridder; Tim Pashuysen
Year: 2014

Marketing technologies projects often get labelled as digital asset management (DAM) even when the project’s scope or business case make only a glancing reference to DAM. This can lead to a false start and in the worst case money and momentum lost. This paper investigates the larger context and challenges a lot of organisations are currently dealing with and how the real scope of their challenge is different from or wider than DAM. The main angles covered include the aggregation of marketing content to build a 360° interaction from the perspective of the marketer; creative project management and collaboration tools to empower marketing teams; and setting up a dialogue with the marketing community. The authors pitch the concept of a marketing content hub as the embodiment of this 360° interaction and define the blueprint of the matching business case. This business case for a marketing content hub takes the traditional one for a DAM system as a baseline, but adds elements that capture more of the strategic value that commonly remain unaccounted for. The opportunities for the marketing department to add value and become part of the solution are discussed as well as the arguments that can motivate the different stakeholders to embark on this endeavour.
A genetic algorithm basic approach for software management project
Authors: Milena Karova; N. Avramova
Year: 2012

The scheduling of tasks and project activities is a hard problem and is one of the principal challenges of project management. Most Project Management techniques provide passive project tracking and reporting aids. In this paper Genetic Algorithm technique is used to search for near-optimum solution -- shorter project duration and minimum project cost. The proposed model is called IGAPM (Implementation Genetic Algorithm for Project Management). The major advantages of IGAPM algorithm is its simple applicability within software management project and the improvement of initial population, accelerates the GA process.
Going the distance: project management issues in a cycle hire project
Authors: Stephen Jackson
Year: 2023


Research methodology
The case was devised using both primary and secondary data sources. Primary sources of data consisted of in-depth interviews with individuals using the cycle hire project. The researcher also had first-hand experiences of using the cycles. The case study has been tested with undergraduate and graduate students taking management information systems courses.


Case overview/synopsis
This teaching case study charts the London cycle hire project, mostly from its first inception in July 2010, right through to the planned expansion of electric cycles from Summer 2022. The main aim of the case is to introduce students to project management challenges which are part of the London cycle hire project. While the project was filled with enthusiasm from its early beginnings, various challenges were encountered including issues associated with the project procurement/sourcing process, software and technical problems, as well as other project management issues. Problems became so severe in 2011 that the service provider was hit with a penalty and had to make critical project improvements. Would these accountability measures prompt the service provider to resolve these issues? How would the service provider go about undertaking a fact-finding exercise to verify the existence of the challenges and address them to ensure renewed project success?


Complexity academic level
The case was written for classes at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. The focus of the case is particularly well suited for exploring topics and issues relating to types of information systems, project management and accountability, multiple global supplier procurement, as well as challenges associated with hardware integration and software design. While the case was targeted at MIS students, the case study would also be effective for an introductory level project management course or a general management course. The subject of the case, the bicycle rental program, is likely to appeal to students, and the basic underlying business issues, processes and objectives of the project are easily understood.

Year: 2017

One of the most frequent error in transfusion medicine is the failure in verifying the patient's identity prior to transfusion. This paper describes the design and development of a Mobile Application (MA) for transfusion medicine. The app uses barcode and QR reading technology for the verification of the patient's identity and the administration of blood components when making a blood transfusion. Physicians, developers, technicians of transfusion medicine and a User Centered Design team participated in the design. The inclusion of end users was fundamental to get full representativeness of their workflow. The project was based on agile methodologies of project management and software development.
A construction contract administration (CCA) framework for graduate architects’ professional development
Authors: S. Y. Tiew
Year: 2024

PurposeConstruction contract administration should be carried out by a person (normally engineer or architect depending on the type of contract) with expert technical knowledge of the construction process, strong leadership quality, highly developed interpersonal skills and an understanding of contractual, legislative and statutory underpinnings. However, due to a shortage of architects, graduate architects have been assigned to perform a partial role. Architectural firms are disappointed with the quality of the graduates and still note that they have to mentor them to be competent for their jobs. This paper aims to develop a construction contract administration (CCA) framework for graduate architects that aids the smooth running of a construction contract.Design/methodology/approachSeven housing projects in Malaysia have been selected as case studies. Documentation review and semi-structured interviews relevant to selected case studies were conducted to collect data to develop the CCA framework. The draft framework will then be validated through a focus group study.FindingsA total of 5 themes and 11 sub-themes with core tasks were developed in the CCA framework. The themes involved are claims and legal matters management, communication and relationship management, project management, design management and quality assessment and management. Sub-themes are authority matters, building certification, meetings, coordination checklist, letter writing, contract documentation, building material, design brief, building sustainability and workmanship quality standards, contractors’ submission and building details.Originality/valueThe contribution of this study can be utilized for developing further models in the future that would improve the work performance of graduate architects. The framework assists the university by moving forward to the professional practice stage. In addition, it indirectly enhances the potential of graduate architects to perform efficiently and intensifies the bonding between project stakeholders.

Year: 2023

Project manager competencies have been widely discussed in the literature. Although many works present lists of competencies for project managers, specific competencies for smart buildings were not found. This work aimed to identify the main competencies of project managers for the management of smart building projects. The methodology consisted of a two-step approach using the guidelines of preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analysis (PRISMA) to perform broad and detailed bibliographic research. Initially, a literature review was carried out to identify the main research fields related to the management of smart building projects and the specificities of these fields that can influence the management of this type of project. Next, these specificities were related to the competencies of project managers mentioned in the literature, to identify a set of more relevant competencies for project managers of smart building projects. The results showed that the main research fields are related to scope, risks, costs, schedule, technologies and systems, sustainability, and general characterization, which consider objectives, barriers, challenges, and regulations. They also showed that the most relevant competencies for managing smart buildings projects are technical competencies, leadership, communication, budgeting, attitudes toward risk, strategic management, organization, and specifying real requirements. These findings show the importance of hard and soft skills for managing smart building projects.

Abstract The history has shown us over time that each way of managing an activity can lead to a different result, which has given rise to multiple approaches to the project management discipline through diverse models and methodologies, each one coming with a number of advantages and disadvantages. The software engineering branch is a climate where projects have a lot of room for flexibility, change and adaptability. However, this scientific paper aims to highlight the characteristics of these techniques, provided by experts in the field through the scientific literature, along with an original point of view regarding their future improvement. Project management is a complex, diverse and encompassing discipline, so each new model or methodology has come to supplement the shortcomings of the previous one. Starting from these, there are a number of factors that must be taken into account when determining how a project should be managed, such as: industry, size, resources, etc., and this paper presents the areas of applicability for each methodology in part, as well as data in which several approaches intertwine resulting in hybrid project management approaches. In the end, some conclusions and predictions about the methodologies in the field of software development industry are presented.

Patterns for Effective Management of Virtual Projects: Theory and Evidence
Authors: D. Khazanchi; I. Zigurs
Year: 2006

The management of virtual projects is fundamentally different from that of traditional projects. Furthermore, the research in this area comes from different reference disciplines and perspectives, and a unified view or theory of best practices does not yet exist. Being able to combine perspectives in a seamless way with skills and technology could provide integrative blueprints for best practices in virtual projects. We use the theoretical frame of patterns to propose such a view. We focus on three concepts as the underlying theoretical elements for identifying patterns of effectiveness in virtual project management: (1) coordination, (2) communication, and (3) control. As a first step in the identification of specific patterns, we conducted a series of virtual focus groups with participants from industry who had real experience with virtual projects. The brainstorming data from the focus groups was analyzed to develop an initial set of patterns. The study represents a first step in an iterative and evolutionary process.

Authors: J. Babayev; M. Vukomanović; Sergiy Bushuyev; I. Achkasov
Year: 2022

This article is dedicated to the main approaches used in the modern methodologies of project management and their logical connection as the base for forming fuzzy technology and information system. The purpose of this article is to create an effective tool for the project managers to be able to assess the success of the project in the first stages, including the time when the main planning document is being composed. The task of the project coordinator is to find out the interested party's purposes and find a possible compromise. Considering people and organizations involved in the project, or those whose interests can influence the results of the project's execution or successful completion positively or negatively as an interested parties, the project team should determine them, find out their needs and expectations, and then manage them, influencing them to provide the guarantee of the project's successful completion. Considering people and organizations involved in the project, or those whose interests can influence the results of the project's execution or successful completion positively or negatively as interested parties, the project team should determine them, find out their needs and expectations, and then manage them, influencing them to provide the guarantee of the project’s successful completion. Having the goal to solve the multi-criteria linguistically described problem of project success evaluation, this work offers an approach, based on the fuzzy situational rules for multi-criteria selection. Therefore, this work analyzes the setting and discusses the possible ways of solutions and suggests the approach to the project success evaluation, based on a multi-criteria selection problem in the conditions of linguistic description and using the integrated approach of fuzzy situational management with production rules, widely used in the expert systems.

Challenges and solutions in distributed software development project management: A systematic literature review
Authors: Fabio Q B Da Silva; Catarina Costa; A. César; C. França; Rafael Prikladinicki
Year: 2010

This paper presents a systematic literature review of the challenges, best practices, models, and tools in Distributed Software Development (DSD) Project Management. The objective is to collect and systematize reported knowledge in terms of what are the difficulties in managing DSD projects, what are the best practices to overcome these difficulties, and how existing models and tools support these practices. We found 54 works related to DSD project management, published between 1998 and 2009. Using the data systematically extracted from these works, we propose an evidence-based DSD project management improvement model. Our contention is that this model can support practitioners and researchers to better understand the landscape of DSD project challenges and devise more effective solutions to improve project management in a distributed setting.
Teaching Note - Implementing Line Balancing Heuristics in Spreadsheets
Authors: H. Weiss
Year: 2013

Two previous papers in INFORMS Transactions on Education demonstrated an innovative Excel array formula approach that can be used for the handling of precedences in project management and assembly line balancing models. In this paper I combine the array formula approach with a clever but simple precedence coding system to present an efficient spreadsheet for performing assembly line balancing using the heuristic method that is common in operations management textbooks. In addition, I demonstrate to students a perturbation method to handle ties in algorithms in Excel and also demonstrate the application of Excel's Scenario Manager to line balancing.
Understanding what industry wants from requirements engineers: an exploration of RE jobs in Canada
Authors: Chong Wang; Peng Cui; M. Daneva; M. Kassab
Year: 2018

[Background] Prior research on the professional occupation of Requirements Engineering (RE) in Europe and Latin America indicated incongruities between RE practice as perceived by industry and as in textbooks, and conducted detailed analysis of both RE and non-RE job aspects. Relatively little is published on the RE competencies and skills industry expects, and seldom investigated the application domains calling for RE professionals. [Aims] We felt motivated by those findings to carry out research on RE job posts in a North-American market. Especially, we focused solely on RE-specific tasks, competencies and skills, from the perspective of defined position categories. Plus, we intend to explore the application domains in need for RE professionals to reveal the wide range of RE roles in industry. [Methods] Coding process, analysis, and synthesis were applied to the textual descriptions of the 190 RE job ads from Canada's most popular online job search site, especially to the text referring to tasks and competencies. [Results] We contribute to the empirical analysis of RE jobs, by providing insights from Canada's IT market in 2017. Using 109 RE job ads from the most popular IT job search portal T-Net, we identified the qualifications, experience and skills demanded by Canadian employers. Furthermore, we explored the distribution of those RE tasks and competences over the 11 categories of RE roles. [Conclusions] Our results suggest that the majority of the employers were big to very big companies in 29 business domains, and the most in-demand RE skills for them were related to RE methods and to project management aspects affecting requirements. In addition, employers placed much more emphasis on experience - both RE-specific and broad software engineering experience, than on higher education.
