Agile Software Development in a Remotely Working Geographically Distributed Team: A Systematic Review
Authors: Oleksandr Bogolii
Year: 2023

In recent years, the distribution of software development has gained widespread popularity. Among the obvious rea-sons are the wish of companies to save production costs and reduce the time to market. Besides this, the latest years COVID-19 pandemic resulted in the transition of many software development projects into a geographically distributed environment where most employees work remote-ly. Using Agile practices in such a setup brings a lot of new challenges. This paper presents a systematic literature re-view of the studies that discuss the use of Agile methods in globally distributed projects, particularly when team members work remotely or from home. Using our search criteria, we found 307 papers, of which 20 were relevant to our research. The results outlined in this review will help re-searchers and practitioners in understanding the challenges involved in using Agile methods by geographically distributed remotely working teams and figure out how to tackle these challenges to increase the efficiency of project management.

Competency Assessment: Integrating COCOMO II and People-CMM for estimation improvement
Authors: Ricardo Colomo Palacios; Marcos Ruano Mayoral; J. M. Gómez-Berbís; Á. García-Crespo
Year: 2007

‘Human factor’ is one of the most relevant and crucial aspects of software development projects management. Aiming at the performance improvement for software processes in organizations, a new model has been developed to diagnose people related processes. This new model is People-CMM and represents a complementary solution to CMM. On the other hand, existing estimation models in Software Engineering perfectly integrate those aspects related to personnel’s technical and general competence, but fail to integrate competence and performance measurement instruments when it comes to determine the precise value for each of the factors involved in the estimation process. After reviewing the already deployed initiatives and recommendations for competence measurement in the industrial environment and the most relevant estimation methods for personnel factors used in software development projects, this article presents a recommendation for the integration of each of the ‘human factor’ related metrics in COCOMO II with the management tools proposed by People-CMM, which are widely implemented by existing commercial tools.

Year: 2015

Student design competitions have emerged as a popular method for both professional associations and companies to engage engineering students and encourage them to join with like-minded colleagues to develop and test their engineering design and project management skills. By their nature, such competitions encourage a level and intensity of activity that is difficult to replicate in a design or project course. For many engineering students, participation can be a career-defining event.
The Effect of an Initial Budget and Schedule Goal on Software Project Escalation
Authors: Jong Seok Lee; M. Keil; Vijay Kasi
Year: 2012

Software project escalation is a costly problem that leads to significant financial losses. Prior research suggests that setting a publicly announced limit on resources can make individuals less willing to escalate their commitment to a failing course of action. However, the relationship between initial budget and schedule goals and software project escalation remains unexplored. Drawing on goal setting theory as well as sunk cost and mental budgeting perspectives, we explore the effect of goal difficulty and goal specificity on software project escalation. The findings from a laboratory experiment with 349 information technology professionals suggest that both very difficult and very specific goals for budget and schedule can limit software project escalation. Further, the level of commitment to a budget and schedule goal directly affects software project escalation and also interacts with goal difficulty and goal specificity to affect software project escalation. This study makes a theoretical contribution to the existing body of knowledge on software project management by establishing a connection between goal setting theory and software project escalation. The study also contributes to practice by highlighting the potential negative consequences that can result from the nature of initial budget and schedule goals that are established at the outset of a project.
Designing Project Management Systems
Authors: G. Karayaz; C. Keating; Morgan Henrie
Year: 2011

The purpose of this paper is to develop the concept of project management system from the perspective of systems science. There is a need to extend the body of knowledge for project management. In particular, the application of systems perspectives and systems theory offers a significant opportunity to advance the current state of project management knowledge. Although there have been suggestions of systems approaches for project management, rigorous systems science has not been used to support these depictions. First, we develop the background and define a perspective of project management systems. Second, assumptions and principles are drawn from systems science to provide a foundation for project management systems. Third, a model for project management systems is developed from systems sciences and management cybernetics. Our initial explorations are promising, demonstrated by a case study application review using a complex system of systems (SoS) project encompassed multiple government agencies, and we offer future directions and implications for further model refinements, applications, and research into project management systems.

Authors: S. Bourdeau; Thibaut Coulon; Marie-Claude Petit
Year: 2021

Integrating information and communication technologies in teaching and learning is recognized as a relevant and promising practice. However, integration can be complex, tedious, and draining. We propose an innovative approach for enhancing teaching and learning in a simple, pleasant, and effective way: repurposing a virtual world platform to develop a simulation-based training. Minecraft Education, a virtual world platform, was used to develop a simulation-based training on agile project management. So far, 153 university students have applied the Scrum framework to execute a simulated project in Minecraft Education. Results show that students’ perceived learning is very positive and that their learning experience was stimulating and challenging. Recommendations are formulated to guide practitioners and teachers adopting and adapting a “readymade” virtual world platform for teaching and learning.
Moving Beyond the Planning Fallacy: The Emergence of a New Principle of Project Behavior
Authors: Lavagnon A. Ika; P. Love; J. Pinto
Year: 2020

The question—what explains cost overruns and benefit shortfalls—remains an important conversation in project management. Two theoretical principles, the Planning Fallacy and the Hiding Hand, shed light on project behavior, that is how projects take different and complex out-turns. The Planning Fallacy denotes the tendency for forecasts of project schedules, costs, and benefits to be unrealistically close to best-case scenarios. The Hiding Hand, however, suggests that it is not always bad to overrate benefits and underrate costs and difficulties of the proposed projects as creativity may help succeed in unforeseen ways. This article focuses on the Planning Fallacy versus Hiding Hand or the Planning Fallacy debate. The bone of contention is whether the Planning Fallacy trumps the Hiding Hand and thus best explains project behavior and performance. We unravel the ontological, epistemological, theoretical, and methodological assumptions behind the debate. Then, considering these contrasting assumptions and the uncertainties and complexities that surround large-scale projects, we complexify the debate in line with the tradition of complexity thinking. In the face of the either/or framing that prevails, we propose a balanced theoretical approach that would accommodate both the Planning Fallacy and the Hiding Hand explanations of project behavior, to understand why projects experience cost overruns and benefit shortfalls. In so doing, we lay the foundations for the emergence of a new project behavior principle—The Fifth Hand. We conclude with a research agenda that highlights the key methodological challenges that need to be addressed to determine the presence of the Fifth Hand.

Validation of a generic GQM based measurement framework for software projects from industry practitioners
Authors: P. Southekal; Ginger Levin
Year: 2011

Software projects today are often characterized by poor quality, schedule overruns and high costs. One of the reasons for this failure is the lack of management visibility or metrics for making the right decisions at the right time for corrective actions. But most of the software metrics proposed are theoretical and have little relevance in real-world projects. Given that software engineering is essentially a cognitive activity, an effective measurement framework which is validated empirically is needed to control the project and give directions to accomplish the project goals of the stakeholders. However, defining and implementing the right measurement framework is extremely challenging requiring a cross pollination of systems development and project management streams. This paper examines how a stakeholder driven Goal-Question-Metric (GQM) measurement framework was derived and empirically validated with a survey from seasoned software professionals.
Improving business project performance by increasing the effectiveness of resource capacity and allocation policies
Authors: P. Tag
Year: 2015

Resource capacity plans and allocation policies have a significant impact on the performance of business projects. This is particularly true in situations where multiple projects compete concurrently for scarce resources. Project management tools have limited ability to analyze the impact of resource allocation policies in systems with variability. Simulation tools are designed for this type of analysis. This paper focuses on simulation analyses of the relation between changes to resource capacity, resource allocation policies, variability, and project performance. Scenarios are simulated for different combinations of changes to resource quantities, work schedule durations, allocation policies, and task duration variability. Each scenario's performance is measured based on total project cycle-times and costs. The results demonstrate how increasing the flexibility of resource allocation policies can increase the effectiveness of resource capacity and significantly reduce project cycle-times without increasing project costs.

Authors: Ruqaya Gilal; Mazni Omar; Mawarny Md. Rejab
Year: 2023

The success of software development projects is often hindered by time pressure (TP), leading to decreased productivity, compromised quality, and increased risk of failure. To address this issue, it is crucial to understand the key factors contributing to TP in software development projects. In line with the study's objectives, the review methodology followed the Kitchenham and Charters criteria, and a search strategy encompassed four primary digital databases, namely IEEE, ACM Digital Library, Science Direct, and Springers, resulting in 4,500 relevant sources. After applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, a total of 128 papers were selected for analysis. This paper offers a comprehensive overview of the factors contributing to TP in software development. This study synthesizes the findings from multiple studies to guide practitioners in improving their project management approaches and highlights the significance of enhancing various aspects of the development process. The findings highlight the importance of improving project management, estimation techniques, knowledge, and skills to effectively manage TP. Additionally, managing requirements volatility, setting clear goals and objectives, and reducing distractions and interruptions emerge as crucial strategies for mitigating TP and enhancing project success. Furthermore, selecting software developers based on their personality traits is recommended to foster a work environment conducive to reduced TP and improved software development outcomes. By understanding and addressing these factors, software development teams can alleviate TP and increase the likelihood of successful software products. Implementing these recommendations can contribute to reduced TP, improved project outcomes, and enhanced overall success in software development.

Authors: S. Moore; A. O’Kell
Year: 2024

OBJECTIVE
Clinical research is a growing part of the academic clinician's job, and documenting areas of low self-efficacy can inform training initiatives.


SAMPLE
182 US academic veterinary clinicians.


METHODS
A survey of academic veterinary clinicians was distributed to 31 US institutions. Self-efficacy was assessed with a modified Clinical Research Appraisal Instrument-12. The relationship between research self-efficacy and completion of formal research training and years of experience was evaluated.


RESULTS
Respondents were predominantly junior to midcareer faculty. The lowest reported confidence was in performing advanced statistical analyses (3; 0 to 10). Other low-confidence tasks included designing a qualitative methods study (4; 0 to 10), terminating a collaboration that isn't working (5; 0 to 10), describing a funding agency's review/award process (5; 0 to 10), establishing a timeline for a grant application (5; 0 to 10), establishing collaborator and consultant agreements (5; 0 to 10), and asking staff to leave the project team (5; 0 to 10). Completion of a formal research training program was significantly associated with improved self-efficacy in many tasks. Years of experience was also associated, especially in project management and interpersonal interactions.


CLINICAL RELEVANCE
These results highlight the need for targeted training opportunities for academic veterinary clinicians in biostatistical support, qualitative study design methods, and aspects of communication and interpersonal skills that are important for developing and leading effective research teams. Range of confidence suggests that development opportunities in all domains will improve self-efficacy for some clinicians. Future studies should focus on the impact of formal training sessions on various domains of self-efficacy and on targeted mentoring in supporting confidence in more experiential learning domains.

SOCIAL RISK OF TRANSPORTATION INDUSTRY PROJECTS IN THE SYSTEM OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Authors: Іhor Tarlopov
Year: 2024

The article examines the peculiarities of estimating social risks in the system of sustainable development. The theoretical and methodological basis of the study is represented by modern theories, concepts, hypotheses of the concept of sustainable development. Social problems may transform into social risks if disputes associated with social problems cannot be resolved thoroughly and appropriately. The concept of social risk refers to risks that might affect the entire society and lead to social turbulence and social unrest in the form of social tensions and collective conflicts that may further ensue in social confrontations, public protests and even violent conflicts. Social risks can decimate the reputation of projects in transportation, which may include human rights, labor or environmental sustainability. This namely has always been and remains an absolute priority of sustainable development in the post-war period in Ukraine. Therefore, changes in the internal environment will impact the stability of Ukrainian society as well as reduce social risks which overall requires a new research effort. Based on the content analysis, it is proposed to classify the critical elements of social sustainability in transportation projects into two levels: systemic and project level. Thirteen indicators of social risks have been identified based on solving the «Value for Money» alternative. The references of these critical elements pertain to different focuses and areas. Hence, to keep this list concise and focused, proceeding from their definition from the standpoint of social sustainability, these critical elements can be divided into two levels: the project level and the systemic level. The paper presents a conceptual model of the project in the three-dimensional space of sustainable development: economic, social and environmental. The article considers the limitations of management decision-making within the scope of identifying social risks of transportation industry projects. Furthermore, the identified social risk factors may be used to implement effective project management with the purpose of reducing negative social impacts and increase the sustainability of the urban system.

Authors: S. Hussain; Xuetong Wang; T. Hussain
Year: 2020

Construction labors play critical roles in executing the project. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to provide and review using partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) approach that the skilled and unskilled labor force impact on project performance which has been overlooked in the previous literature in the context of the public construction industry in developing countries, like Pakistan. To achieve the objective of this study, a hypothetical model was developed and empirically examined by using Structural Equation Modeling. Data were gathered through a questionnaire survey method. In total, 400 construction practitioners responded to the questionnaire on behalf of their organization. The results revealed that unskilled labor has a significant negative impact on project performance during the construction phase, whereas the results confirmed that skilled labors have a significant positive impact on project performance in enhancing the success rate of the project in the public construction industry. These results could be used by construction experts to elaborate a broader and rooted view of the labor skills affecting the project performance. The results provide adequate information to policy and decision makers concerning labor skills being a compulsory part of the operational strategy in accelerating the better execution and success of construction projects. The current study adds to the construction project management literature by examining the effect of labor skills on project performance positively or negatively, and the hypothesized model was developed that should be adopted by practitioners to ascertain labor skills for the successful execution of the project.
