Knowledge transfer in IS offshoring: a Delphi study of the offshore coordinator role
Authors: Artur Strasser; Markus Westner; Susanne Strahringer
Year: 2019


Purpose
This paper aims to investigate the main tasks, necessary skills, and the implementation of the offshore coordinator’s role to facilitate knowledge transfer in information systems (IS) offshoring.


Design/methodology/approach
This empirical exploratory study uses the classical Delphi method that includes one qualitative and two quantitative rounds to collect data on IS experts’ perceptions to seek a consensus among them.


Findings
The participants agreed, with strong consensus, for a set of 16 tasks and 15 skills. The tasks focused primarily on relationship management and facilitating knowledge transfer on different levels. The set of skills consists of approximately 25 per cent “hard” skills, e.g. professional language skills and project management skills, and approximately 75 per cent “soft” skills, e.g. interpersonal and communication skills and the ability to deal with conflict. Two factors mainly influence implementing the offshore coordinator role: project size and the number of projects to be supported simultaneously.


Practical implications
The findings provide indications of how to define and fulfill this crucial role in practice to facilitate the knowledge transfer process in a positive way.


Originality/value
Similarities in previous research findings are aggregated to examine the intermediate role in detail from a consolidated perspective. This results in the first comprehensive set of critical tasks and skills assigned to the competency dimensions of the universal competency framework, demonstrating which and how many competency dimensions are critical.
Emergence of the governance structure for information integration across governmental agencies: a system dynamics approach
Authors: L. Luna-Reyes; D. Andersen; George P. Richardson; T. Pardo; A. Cresswell
Year: 2007

The purpose of this paper is to describe a dynamic theory of the socio-technical processes involved in the definition of an Integration Information problem in New York State (NYS). In April 2003, the Criminal Justice Information Technology (CJIT) group of NYS was tasked with developing a framework to give users of criminal justice data and information systems "one-stop shopping" access to information needed to accomplish their mission. CJIT collaborated with the Center for Technology in Government (CTG) for an eight-month period during 2003 to accomplish this task. The theory consists of a system dynamics model for understanding the dynamics of the collaboration involved in the problem definition stage of a project. The model was developed in facilitated group modeling sessions with the CTG team. The model is capable to generate interesting scenarios that show the importance of social accumulations in project management, Moreover, the model illustrates a powerful way to use modeling and simulation as theory-building tools.
Science Communication Training for Graduate Exercise Physiology Students
Authors: Steven J. Elmer
Year: 2024

Physiologists have a responsibility to inform the public about how new discoveries and challenges will impact the health of society. However, most physiologists do not have formal training in science communication. The purpose of this study was to implement a science communication training pilot program for graduate students. Students (n = 23) were introduced to science communication training that emphasized key skill development (writing, public speaking, leadership, project management, teaching) as part of their advanced exercise physiology course. Subsequently, students carried out service-learning projects that tasked them with presenting evidence-based health information to public audiences (e.g., community members, clinicians, K-12 students, journalists, policy makers). In a subset of students (n = 8), a survey was administered to assess students’ perceptions of the value of science communication and their ability to communicate to different audiences. Service-learning projects that students completed included blog posts, infographics, podcast series, visits with K-12 schools, and public townhall presentations. Most students (≥75%) agreed that completing the science communication training helped them develop confidence speaking to a range of audiences. After completing the science communication training, students were more interested in learning about how to better communicate science concepts to the public compared to before the training (88% vs. 25%). Collectively, these preliminary results suggest that science communication training helped graduate exercise physiology students recognize the gap between science and society, develop confidence speaking to a range of audiences, and communicate more effectively. These results support findings from other disciplines such as biology and medicine. Implementation of science communication training is paramount, and the approach described here could be useful for physiology students, educators, and departments.

New National Projects: A Look to the Future
Authors: Alexey Volotskov
Year: 2023

The list of national projects of the “second wave” approved by the Government of the Russian Federation is quite wide and covers a variety of areas of development of the country’s socio-economic complex. National projects 2019–2024 developed in three main areas (“Human capital”, “Comfortable living environment” and “Economic growth”) and approved by the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation “On national goals and strategic objectives of the development of the Russian Federation until 2024”. Officially, the program of national projects was launched in 2019 for a period until 2024, but in July 2020 it was decided to postpone the achievement of a number of indicators until 2030 and adjust the program taking into account changed circumstances, which affected not only the composition and structure of existing national projects, but also led to the development of 4 new projects aimed at developing tourism, nuclear energy, cybersecurity systems and unmanned aircraft. An important task in the implementation of national projects is to achieve a clear relationship between the amount of funding and the planned result, a system of indicators that is not yet sufficiently developed, and many indicators do not have approved calculation methods and are not included in the federal statistical work plan. The main problems in the implementation of national projects are the result of the unpreparedness of management personnel at all levels to work on projects of great social importance under conditions of limited budget and time. A culture of project management has not yet been formed, and an atmosphere of intolerance towards the managerial illiteracy of direct executors, including managers, has not been created. Meanwhile, for the successful implementation of priority national projects implemented until 2024, it is necessary to take into account the experience accumulated to date, which can largely be considered positive.
Automatic Classification of Recurring Tasks in Software Development Projects
Authors: Włodzimierz Wysocki; Mirosław Ochodek
Year: 2024

Background: Information about project tasks stored in Issue tracking systems (ITS) can be used for project analytics or process simulation. Such tasks can be categorized as stateful or recurrent. Although automatic categorization of stateful tasks is relatively simple, performing the same task for recurrent tasks constitutes a challenge. Aims: The goal of this study is to investigate the possibility of employing machine-learning algorithms to automatically categorize recurrent tasks in software projects based on information stored in ITS. Method: We perform a study on a dataset from six industrial projects containing 9,589 tasks and augment it with an additional dataset of 91,145 task descriptions from other industrial projects to up-sample minority classes during training. We perform ten runs of 10-fold cross-validation for each project and evaluate classifiers using a set of state-of-the-art prediction quality metrics, i.e., Accuracy, Precision, Recall, F1-score, and MCC. Our machine-learning pipeline includes a Transformer-based sentence embed-der (‘mxbai-embed-large-vl’) and XGBoost classifier. Results: The model automatically classifies software process tasks into 14 classes with MCC ranging between 0.69 and 0.88 (mean: 0.77). We observed higher prediction quality for the largest projects in the dataset and those managed according to “traditional” project management methodologies. Conclusions: We conclude that machine-learning algorithms can effectively categorize re-current tasks. However, it requires collecting a large balanced dataset of ITS tasks or using a pre-trained model like the one provided in this study.

1.     Abstract 
Successful projects require appropriate tools and effective management practices. Managers need to have a clear insight into project goals and use outstanding skills to implement them accordingly. They also must maintain a balance between customer satisfaction levels and profit maximization goals.  The Organizational Project Management Maturity Model (OPM3) is among the critical tools for generating standardized outcomes in organizational projects. This paper portrays research of OPM3 implementation among organizations in the UAE and spotlights the critical impact of OPM3 on organizations. The research shows that an effective adaption of OPM3 components and levels will impact the overall performance of the organization. The research is based on both primary data collected from existing surveys and secondary data that is gathered through various sources such as journal articles and research papers to illustrate the organizations using the OPM model, that is constructed to fulfil the future needs of the organizations and endorse modification if needed. The conclusion that was derived from the pieces of evidence illustrates that written policies and procedures in addition to excellent management skills can maximize the benefits of OPM3 models among the UAE organizations.

The purpose of the proposed article is a theoretical study of project management methods in the field of tourism and recreation, which justify the need for a modern tourist enterprise to direct efforts to the development or improvement of new products or services. The methodology is based on scientific and special research methods. Methods of analysis, synthesis, systematization, classification, generalization of economic and methodical literature, scientific publications were used. Horizontal analysis, vertical analysis, trend analysis, comparative analysis, analysis of relative indicators were also used. Scientific novely. Scientific novelty. The study of the features of various approaches to project management in the field of tourism and recreation necessitated a thorough analysis of their advantages and disadvantages. The author considered key problems in management processes and identified ways to overcome them during the implementation of tourism activities by business entities. Conclusions. The article solves important problems of the tourism sphere through the effective management of projects in tourism and recreation, the appropriate choice of price and marketing policy strategies, ensuring the quality of tourism and recreation services. based on the analysis of the considered projects in the field of tourism and recreation, we emphasize that the effectiveness of the design process depends on productive management; coordinated activity of project participants; peculiarities of national culture, resources, market conditions; strategies for the sustainable development of tourism in a specific region. Project management in the field of tourism and recreation needs to take into account the peculiarities of tourist services, which consist in the instability of demand, changes in quality and storage conditions, and correctly chosen methods of project management create opportunities for increasing the competitiveness of the destination. It has been proven that the effectiveness of project management in the field of tourism and recreation largely depends on teamwork, creativity of specialists, cooperation and support at different hierarchical levels.
Empowering Users as a Principle of Construction Project Management
Authors: Hafsa Chbaly; Maude Brunet
Year: 2023

This systematic literature review aims to identify and compare the main participative approaches to empowering users in construction projects. Whereas different approaches are mobilized, findings suggest that research on project management has focused primarily on sponsors, who are in a position to control project resources, with users often being overlooked. This lack of involvement creates gaps between user expectations and delivered construction projects. The review therefore finds that, on principle and to assure added value, project managers should consider implementing a user-empowering approach right from the planning stage. Guidelines for practical considerations for a participative approach to project management are suggested.
Cost management system within a production environment: a performance-based approach
Authors: M. Bagherpour; S. Noori
Year: 2012

Production planning problems have been a frequent focus of work in the literature. However, despite their importance, there are inadequate studies on control mechanisms and the representation of performance indices in a production environment. In the present paper, a hybrid production planning–project management system is presented and implemented successfully throughout a production environment. In this approach, earned value management (EVM), a powerful project management technique, is applied within a multi-period–multi-product (MPMP) production planning problem. Since EVM is a well-known technique in the area of project planning and management, it is first required to convert the MPMP problem into a project management network. Then after performing computational investigations in the lowest level of work breakdown structure, the results are sent back to the production environment again. In order to interpret and measure the manufacturing efficiency, original performance indices are proposed throughout the production planning period, product, and machine centres. In this respect, new formulas are also developed accordingly. Finally, an insight to lean production is given.

Year: 2019

The purpose of this study was to establish the factors influencing project implementation in Kenya Pipeline Company Limited in Kenya. Descriptive research design was employed in this study. Stratified random sampling was adopted to come up with the sample size since the population in different departments at KPC was considered heterogeneous. The primary data for the study was collected using the questionnaires. A total of 81 respondents were targeted by the study out of which a total of 66 responded giving a response rate of 82.5%.  Quantitative data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics with the aid of Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 23. A multiple linear regression model was used to test the relationship of the combined variables. From the findings of the study, it was concluded that project planning to a large extend influences the implementation of projects in KPC with the greater impact area being accurate estimation of project costs and time.  In addition, the study concluded that stakeholders’ participation influences the implementation of project implementation.  The study further concluded that top management support influences project implementation. It was finally concluded that organization culture influences the implementation of project implementation. The study recommended that project planning should be improved to achieve positive impact in the implementation of projects where project planners are advised to pay a close attention to accurate estimation of costs and time in project implementation.  The study also recommended that stakeholder’s participation to be improved in project implementation. This would promote the implementation of project management since there would be little resistance from stakeholders and support user acceptance. The study further recommended that the top management support should help project implementation by providing the necessary facilitation of allocation of duties, offering direction and motivation to the project teams. Finally, the study also recommended that the organization culture should be used to boost project implementation. This can be achieved by embracing corporate ethics including culture of honesty, project team level of integrity, project team culture of hard work, project team level of accountability and company procedures, which have a considerable positive impact on the projects implementation.

Practice of creating system project management competencies: In a real sector of economy (metallurgy)
Authors: Lebedev Alexey Sergeevich; Haidukova Nataliay Valentinovna
Year: 2017

With a view of ensuring stable operations of Zaporizhstal Integrated Iron and Steel Works (Ukraine), maintaining fixed assets, enhancing operational reliability of technological facilities, implementing projects and programs, the company's Directorate for Capital Construction and Investment has elaborated system competencies at two levels of project management (external and internal) and tested them while implementing Reconstruction of Blast Furnace 3 project. System competencies include: 1) Cognitive competence that seeks to ensure that the needs of stakeholders resonate with characteristics of a project being implemented; 2) Behavioural competence that aims to achieve the synergistic effect by creating conditions for emergence at two levels of the system organization "project — environment", "elements (project participants) — connections". The proposed system of competences contributed to bolstering the efficiency of operational and strategic management of the Reconstruction of Blast Furnace 3 project. In this way, the project had been completed according to the schedule, with some acceptable budget deviations. The most advanced technologies were applied in the project implementation: preliminary assembly in larger units, installation of 400-ton units by a crane with a lifting capacity of more than 1,500 tons, an intelligent 3D model of a blast furnace, a bell-free top charging device, an aspiration system with devices for continuous automatic control; there have been developed and implemented: an information system for supervising and monitoring the project implementation processes to identify deviations from the predetermined project schedule and budget; a system of adjusting indicators related to the cost of work of contractors with the aim of stimulating their performanc
