Controlling the uncontrollable: ‘Agile’ teams and illusions of autonomy in creative work
Authors: D. Hodgson; L. Briand
Year: 2011

The creative industries have recently been hailed as presenting a liberating model for the future of work and a valuable terrain on which to examine purported new regimes of workplace control. This article, based on the empirical examination of a Canadian video game development studio, traces the modes of control which operate on and through project teams in creative settings. The impact of the adoption of an ‘emancipatory’, post-bureaucratic project management technology, ‘Agile’, is critically examined through interviews and non-participative observation of management, technical and artistic labour within one project team. The potential for autonomy in such ‘Agile’ teams is critically assessed within the managerial regime of creative production and the broader power relations implied by the financial, organizational and institutional context.
Information systems success factors in software SMEs: a research agenda
Authors: Adarsh Garg; D. Goyal; A. S. Lather
Year: 2008

Flexibility and the speed to respond to market changes and the ability to innovate in process and product are the main prerequisites for an organisation to survive in changing business environments. Information System (IS) is considered an important component of flexibility for any organisation. Organisations are investing extensively on IS to get the maximum benefits of IT. But looking at the other side of this scenario, ISs tend to be unsuccessful most of the time. The reasons found are lack of alignment between IS planning and business planning; huge divergence in the approaches adopted by different types of enterprises while developing ISs owing to time, cost and environmental factors and ignoring of the IS project management activity by most of the enterprises, especially SMEs. This paper thus raises the issue of non-realisation of the process of strategic planning of IS development and management in SMEs keeping in view the importance of SMEs in developed as well as developing countries.
COST REDUCTION IN RESIDENTIAL RENOVATIONS: ADVANCED STRATEGIES FOR BUDGET OPTIMIZATION AND QUALITY ASSURANCE THROUGH PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Authors: Sergei Yu. Zharkov
Year: 2023

This article explores the strategic application of advanced project management methods to achieve significant cost reductions in residential renovation projects. In modern conditions, where clients face challenges such as budget overruns, project delays, low quality, and lack of transparency, this study provides a comprehensive analysis of how project management practices can optimize both financial and operational aspects of renovations. The article advocates for a shift from the traditional interaction pattern in the residential real estate market, where clients typically hire general contractors under «turnkey» conditions, to a more progressive model. In this model, the general contractor acts as a project manager, and all subcontractors are selected through an open and transparent bidding process based on clear evaluation criteria, such as price, quality, and reputation. The general contractor operates under an «open book» principle, with all subcontractor pricing transparent to the client, and the general contractor’s work is compensated as a percentage of the budget. The article emphasizes the importance of involving an independent expert, hired by the client, to assess the effectiveness and transparency of subcontractor selection by the general contractor. This scheme is widely used in large-scale industrial and civil construction projects, but its implementation in the residential market was previously difficult due to relatively small budgets that did not allow for additional oversight and supervision. This study examines the implementation of electronic document management systems, digital project management, and financial accounting as key drivers for increasing the efficiency of renovation projects. A structured approach to contractor management, material procurement, and quality assurance demonstrates how project managers can effectively mitigate risks, ensure compliance with timelines, and deliver high-quality work within the approved budget.

Information technology (IT) projects are becoming more complex due to technological advancements, increased sociopolitical demand, and competition. In recent years, the project complexity field has attracted increasing attention with diverse strategies and methods proposed to identify, evaluate, and respond to various complexities. This study aims to identify and prioritize factors contributing to complexity in IT projects by reporting two case studies conducted on large IT organizations. The literature on project complexity informed and guided this exploratory research. The data were collected through 21 semi-structured interviews and analyzed by applying open and axial coding content analysis. Underpinned by complexity theories, 19 factors contributing to the complexity of IT projects were identified, and their importance was highlighted using the Friedman test. The top five factors contributing to IT project complexity were identified as follows: the diversity of stakeholders; technological newness of the project; conflicting goals of stakeholders; variety of product sub-systems and components; and uncertainty of project objectives. This study’s findings contribute to the project management literature and inform practitioners about how to achieve more effective management of complex IT projects.

Year: 2024

The construction industry drives economic growth globally but faces challenges namely outdated practices and inadequate risk management. This research focuses on improving Risk Management in Research and Development (R&D) facilities construction projects, often poorly executed by Project Management Offices (PMOs). Most studies typically address risk identification and assessment, they neglect crucial processes like risk control and monitoring. In pursuit of developing a risk management model for R&D facility construction projects in Johor Industrial Park, Malaysia, conducted a descriptive analysis self-administered questionnaires from professionals in R&D and construction fields with utilizing Statistical Package for the Social Sciences software. Additionally, employed Structural Equation Modelling (illustrated through AMOS graphics) to establish a robust and valid model. The outcome of this research reveals a strong, positive, and significant correlation between PMO requirements of Risk Monitoring and Control Practices, which encompass risk reassessment, risk audits, contingency reserves analysis, risk status meetings and Project Success Factors which related to schedule, cost, facilities requirements, and customer satisfaction in the context of RDD facilities construction. This research successfully tackles the research objectives and developed practicable project risk monitoring and control practices of risk management model for R&D facilities construction projects. Therefore, by consistently integrating these practices into their daily project activities, R&D and construction professionals can mitigate risks and address challenges prevalent in the construction industry, contributing to improved project outcomes.
Software Risk Modeling by Clustering Project Metrics
Authors: Ching-Pao Chang
Year: 2015

Together with the development and integration of software technologies, an increase in the complexity of the software development environment has made identifying software risks challenging. Identifying software risks, which is a critical activity in project management, is challenging because numerous factors may affect software projects. In this paper, an approach to identify software-risk items is proposed in which data collected from past software projects are mined to construct software-risk models. The prediction models obtained can be used to identify potential software risks for subsequent software projects. The advantage of the proposed approach is that the software-risk models can be constructed at an early stage in software projects to facilitate the planning of methods to mitigate software risks. The proposed approach is applied to a business project to demonstrate how software risk items can be identified.

The Basic Models of Enterprise Development Management
Authors: Roman T. Yavorskyi; S. Shyshkovskyi; M. Tymoshchuk
Year: 2023

In the context of permanent changes caused by instability due to the ongoing war and an increased uncertainty in the business environment, the conditions for the development of enterprises are changing dramatically. The article elaborates an interpretation of enterprise development as a process of quantitative, qualitative, and structural changes in its status (potential) and functional activity to achieve the established vision and goal (effectiveness), which are caused by an immanent tendency to improvement. The concept of development of a socioeconomic system is considered. The interaction of the main elements of the development of the socioeconomic system is analyzed. Both the conceptual and the basic models of enterprise development management have been elaborated. Studies have shown that in the current economic conditions, business activity is a decisive factor in the economic performance of an enterprise. At the same time, business activity is a defining characteristic of the company’s position in the market. Thus, the growth of business activity of an economic entity in the capital, goods, and labor markets, aimed at improving the effectiveness of its activities, becomes the primary task of the economic development of the enterprise. It is determined that the results of activity characterize the degree of achievement of the goal of development of enterprise, which is described by an aggregate of indicators. Changes that may occur during the implementation of a certain conception of development primarily affect such functional characteristics as capital, sufficient costs of production, output. Estimates of such changes can be obtained based on the results of experimentation with the corresponding searching (working) models. On the basis of the above and taking into account the best practices of project management, strategies and models of enterprise development are considered, including strategies for growth, activation, transformation and creation. These strategies provide elemental, mixed, and system types of development.

A Case Study on how Space Agencies are Capitalizing on Space Projects: Lessons Learned Through Capture Events
Authors: Isabelle Gibek; Andrew Herd; Daniel Galarreta; Estelle Cavan; Fabien Castanet
Year: 2024

The issue of effectively learning from experience through Lessons Learned (LL) is a long-standing one. Its deployment in the space sector, although more recent, is a well-established issue in the space business. Both the European Space Agency (ESA) and the French Space Agency (CNES) include Lessons Learned capitalization in their processes regarding development of orbital systems. One of the goal of these activities is to improve the risk assessment managed by the project teams, by providing them with lessons learned coming from previous projects. Management procedures, technical standards and handbooks used by the projects can also be improved as a result of the lessons capitalization. There are several steps in the capitalization process. Lessons Learned proposals need to be collected, then analyzed by experts, shared and agreed before being turned into understandable and usable lessons. Finally, these lessons need to be made available to the potential users. The first step in the capitalization is to collect the lessons, which is time consuming. People working in space projects do not usually produce lessons on their own. In order to help them, both agencies have organized Lessons Learned capture events, gathering people working on a project, and inviting them to elaborate collectively the Lessons Learned from their project experience. Attendees can come not only from the agencies, but also from their partners (for example other agencies, industrial companies). The paper deals with how ESA and CNES apply their LL processes. It especially describes the case study of capture events (preparation, typical description of an event, outcomes). The emphasis is put on the methods used both to have participants committed to the approach and to produce useful lessons. Events typical examples are given. Finally, the paper compares ESA and CNES approaches and insists on the benefits capture events can bring to Organizations.
The application of product measures in directing software maintenance activity
Authors: Melanie P. Ware; F. G. Wilkie; M. Shapcott
Year: 2007

This paper is concerned with enhancing aspects of project-management techniques in relation to maintenance in commercial object-oriented software. Maintenance forms a significant proportion of the lifecycle of a product and consequently its costs. Techniques such as lean production attempt to reduce cost by focusing team effort and to pre-empt issues by the use of early detection and resolution strategies. This study involves a commercial application written in C++ and its evolution over a one-year period. Software product measures are used in conjunction with Pareto analysis to determine effective predictive class targeting in a release cycle. We assess the capability of the measures and consider how the results can be used by the project team. The study extends the work of others in this field in three ways. First, other studies have analysed procedural code, whereas we use an object-oriented code base. Second, most studies assess the predictive capability of measures against the number of software issues; we examine these factors, but uniquely test for change density using density modified measures and we also test for revision volume. Finally, we examine the implications of these results and offer a cohesive framework of recommendations placed within the lean management philosophy.

Year: 2019

This paper presented the findings on the agile methodology and its implementation by professionals in the construction of commercial properties. This study used stratified random sampling technique to identify the contractors to survey for the study. All the companies selected were in the commercial real estate construction industry. The sample size of the study was 35 respondents. A structured questionnaire was used to obtain primary data as well as descriptive statistics to analyze data. As such, it utilized inferential analysis and Pearson’s correlation analysis with the aim of determining the strength between the independent variable as well as dependent variables. The findings revealed that indeed agile project management contributed to a project success in the construction industry. The research found out that agile planning, iterative methods, close collaboration and continuous improvement is statistically significant to project success. The study concluded that agile planning, iterative methods, close collaboration and continuous improvement was positively related to project success. The study recommended that the project team should have the necessary skills and knowledge required for the project to ensure effective and efficient implementation. The team should ensure that the budget is well set before the start of the implementation.  The stakeholders were therefore urged to consider the application of agile project management in its construction projects. Key Words: Agile Planning, Iterative Methods, Continuous Improvement, Close Collaboration, Project Success
Automating Building Regulations Conformance Checking Using a Semantic Approach - Preliminary Results
Authors: F. Ramparany; Marie Bernert; Thomas Hassan
Year: 2023

Construction project management has improved in the last decades thanks to the Building Information Modeling paradigm (BIM), whose main principle is to use an exhaustive numerical representation of a building. In this paper, we focus on the application of Semantic Web technologies for checking building conformance to legal regulations. In our case, buildings are modeled using an ontology based RDF graph, and our goal is to check its conformity to accessibility regulations. We use the SHACL semantic data validation language, to perform this automated checking. We selected some relevant regulations to be modeled in SHACL and tested the method on a test building model. We were able to validate this method and and plan to develop a methodology aiming at producing a SHACL model for any kind of regulations. Using our approach makes it possible to check conformance of a building even before the building is constructed or at early stages of its construction, introducing a form of “Accessibility by design”.
