Delays Factors for Construction Projects in South of Iraq
Authors: N. A. Abdulridha; Mawahib A. Gata
Year: 2024

This study seeks to identify and categorize the factors responsible for delays in construction projects in southern Iraq. Using a sequential research approach that includes a literature review, interviews, and surveys, data were collected from 115 industry professionals, including clients, consultants, project managers, contractors, and engineers. The analysis utilized both descriptive and conclusive statistical methods, with a specific emphasis on the Spearman rank correlation coefficient to verify the reliability of the delay factor rankings. The research identified 45 major delay factors, with the most critical being global and local economic crises, bureaucracy and corruption, public holidays, delays in securing municipal permits, and frequent change orders initiated by clients. These factors were further classified into eight categories: inaccuracies in the tendering process, technical performance management, government interference, rework in construction practices, among others. The results indicate strong consensus among the different respondent groups regarding the main causes of project delays, as demonstrated by high correlation coefficients and a Chi-squared test confirming the agreement's significance. The findings provide valuable insights for practical applications and academic research, supporting the selection of project leaders, anticipating potential delays, and improving project management practices in Iraq. The study suggests future research should focus on strategic economic planning, exploring alternative funding sources, combating corruption, and implementing regulatory reforms to address the identified delay factors.
Conflicting Notions of a Project: The Battle Between Albert O. Hirschman and Bent Flyvbjerg
Authors: Kristian Kreiner
Year: 2020

The field of project management has erected an impressive edifice of knowledge that apparently hinders us in learning anything from experience except what we already know. We will use the recent controversy between Hirschman and Flyvbjerg to trace this academic imposition to a narrow notion of a project and to find inspiration in a radically different notion for opening the field to new types of issues and lessons.

Authors: M. Marinho; Suzana Sampaio; A. Luna; Telma Lima; H. Moura
Year: 2015

Nowadays it is noticed that many projects fail, software projects are notoriously disaster prone, not necessarily because of technological failure, but more often due to uncertainties. In their efforts to keep their projects, many project managers are implicitly using similar ideas, though not always formally as the subject proposes. In this article, a qualitative research which was conducted through semi-structured interviews with 25 participants is presented. Among the interviewees there are software project managers and management researchers. The aim of the work is to explore practices, strategies and techniques as well as to provide a set of recommendations to guide managers in order to reduce uncertainties in their projects.

Authors: Yong Wang; Lili Wang; Yi Li; Xiaoyan Zhu
Year: 2017

In the 1950s, Norden first employed the Rayleigh Curve to describe the time distribution rule of software project effort. However, to date, there is no new curve proposed for the later software projects. This research explores a new distribution rule which leads further to estimate software stage effort. We conducted a study on the basis of 4,516 actual projects, and derived general monthly effort distribution curves from them. The new curve has some features similar with Norden's curve, but there also exist some obvious differences. Benefit from a large number of projects, we also found the monthly effort statistical distribution and the typical value of each month. The research results give a new facet about software projects within the dataset, and can be helpful for software project management.
An Applied Knowledge Framework to enable knowledge reuse in consulting firms
Authors: Evgeniya Ivanova
Year: 2022

Knowledge is a core product of management consultancies. Consulting firms consider knowledge management to be a core capability for achieving competitive advantage. ​Knowledge management, especially in project management, faces a lot of challenges that are crucial for the efficiency of work and as a result the success of the projects. According to ISO 30401, there are some knowledge management enablers like human capital, knowledge processes, technology and infrastructure, governance and knowledge sharing culture. Among them are corporate sharing culture, technology and the structure of knowledge which is the most important for companies.  The challenges of knowledge management in a consulting business, for example, time saving and efficiency can be solved within the creation of a structured and target-oriented knowledge framework which enables the reuse of knowledge in the whole consulting company. Qualitative methods were used to conceive, design, and to implement the knowledge framework. The approach has involved workshops that included associates, managers, senior consultants, and project directors. This approach enabled the author to record internal requirements and pain points in the current knowledge management base approach, conduct analysis, set priorities, and conceive a new knowledge framework that was able to solve the pain points of consultants and project managers and support them in their daily business. The new framework includes the following components: a flexible structure that adopts itself to defined tagging structure, the storage of knowledge according to the allocation of the content format, and automatically generated statistics to newly upload and download as well as most used files and documents. The results of conducted feedback workshops and interviews showed that the alignment of the new knowledge framework information architecture to the company’s service portfolio and user-friendly design enabled a quick and target-oriented search for the documents and awareness of relevant and important information and knowledge and as a result lead to the increased efficiency of project work in the consulting company.

Summarize Me: The Future of Issue Thread Interpretation
Authors: Abhishek Kumar; P. P. Das; Partha Pratim Chakrabarti
Year: 2023

Understanding issue threads is an essential aspect of software maintenance and development, aiding developers in effectively addressing and managing software-related issues. These threads typically contain an issue description, comments discussing possible solutions, and often culminate in a pull request where the proposed changes are elaborated. Even though they are crucial, understanding issue threads can be a lot of work because they are often long and complex, particularly in big projects. This paper, therefore, aims to automate the process of issue thread summarization using advanced AI models, specifically the GPT-3.5-Turbo, reducing the time spent and improving the efficiency of the interpretation process. Our approach taps into the potential of the zero-shot learning methodology, enabling the model to produce context-specific summaries without reliance on prior examples. Additionally, we have developed an algorithm that determines the most effective length for these summaries, which enhances their clarity and relevance. The performance of the model is assessed using automated metrics, including ROUGE and BART scores, for extractive and abstractive summary evaluation respectively. Further, we may like to add that summaries of around 30% to 40% of the total size of the issue thread appears to be sufficient, though it varies slightly from case to case. The model’s successful generation of brief, clear, and pertinent summaries not only boosts team communication and project management but also lays the groundwork for its future integration into a comprehensive tool for simplified exploration and comprehension of complex software repositories.

Automated Classification of Exchange Information Requirements for Construction Projects Using Word2Vec and SVM
Authors: E. Mitera-Kiełbasa; Krzysztof Zima
Year: 2024

This study addresses the challenge of automating the creation of Exchange Information Requirements (EIRs) for construction projects using Building Information Modelling (BIM) and Digital Twins, as specified in the ISO 19650 standard. This paper focuses on automating the classification of EIR paragraphs according to the ISO 19650 standard’s categories, aiming to improve information management in construction projects. It addresses a gap in applying AI to enhance BIM project management, where barriers often include technological limitations, a shortage of specialists, and limited understanding of the methodology. The proposed method uses Word2Vec for text vectorisation and Support Vector Machines (SVMs) with an RBF kernel for text classification, and it attempts to apply Word2Vec with cosine similarity for text generation. The model achieved an average F1 score of 0.7, with predicted categories for provided sentences and similar matches for selected phrases. While the text classification results were promising, further refinement is required for the text generation component. This study concludes that integrating AI tools such as Word2Vec and SVM offers a feasible solution for enhancing EIR creation. However, further development of text generation, particularly using advanced techniques such as GPT, is recommended. These findings contribute to improving managing complex construction projects and advancing digitalization in the AECO sector.

Authors: Adarsh Garg; D. Goyal; A. S. Lather
Year: 2010

The sustainable success of any organisation is strongly associated with the success of Information System (IS) projects, as ISs are considered an important component of flexibility for all kind of enterprises. Organisations are investing extensively on ISs to get the maximum benefits of Information Technology (IT) in today's competitive business set-up. Despite significant efforts to improve IS projects' success, many ISs tend to be unsuccessful most of the time. The reasons sought are the lack of alignment between IS planning and business planning, a huge divergence in the approaches adopted for the development of ISs due to time, cost and environmental factors and the ignorance of most enterprises (especially Small and Medium-sized Enterprises or SMEs) of project management practices. No method gives standards for the development of ISs in SMEs, which results in a sharp decline of the long-term performance of ISs. This paper presents the influence of the best practices of IS development and project management on IS projects, especially in software SMEs, considering a strong relation between IS success and the success of any business process.

Using Jira is considered an application with an easy-to-understand interface and customization features for each project. However, in the daily use of Jira, there are still obstacles faced by employees, namely, project status information is still inaccurate, lack of employee knowledge on how to configure Jira so that it takes a long time to meet the needs of each project and features that are still found do not function optimally. Hence, it hinders the process of using Jira in project management. This study aims to determine the success factors of using Jira in managing projects in the Cloud solution provider industry. This study uses a quantitative method to assess the constraints and factors that influence the success of project management tools by distributing questionnaires to employees. The findings in this study are that the socio-cultural variables and technical knowledge do not significantly affect the success of project management tools. However, the variables of personal characteristics and team capabilities are proven to significantly influence the success of project management tools, and the variables of training and learning are proven to have a moderating effect on the variable of team capabilities on the success of project management tools. Personal characteristics and social culture variables have a significant influence on team capability variables.

PT. ABCD has faced the issue of legacy facilities that become findings in routine inspections of NRA. The issue can be escalated to shut down the production facility due to the legacy facility hardly complying with cGMP. The study aims to choose the best alternatives of building a new facility, renovating the current facility, and toll manufacturing with consideration of financial, regulation compliance, project completion speed, and strategy risk. The study is using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to get a decision from the experts in PT. ABCD. The respondents are seven experts in many fields, including finance, project management, GMP, operations, demand forecasting, technological transfer, business development, cGMP engineering, and the management representative. To analyze the group decision-making, the results of each respondent are aggregated with a geometric mean. Compliance with regulation (0.356) was found to be the top priority, followed by strategy risk (0.295), project completion speed (0.250), and financial aspect (0.098). Results show that (a) building a new facility (0.4563) is the best alternative among the other alternatives, followed by toll manufacturing (0.3251) and renovating the current facility (0.2186); and (b) building a new facility is the best alternative among the other alternatives (0.4563) followed by toll manufacturing (0.3251) and renovating current facility (0.2186) with consideration of criteria financial aspect, regulation aspect, project completion speed aspect, and strategy risk aspect. We recommend implementing the project plan to build a new facility.

Year: 2023

Procurement of goods, works and services are considered as key functions of every government to achieve their development strategy goals which consumes the large amount of national GDP and annual budget. Public procurement shall be carried out in a transparent, accountable, effective, competitive and efficient manners with high level of integrity. Procurement and contracting operations using single-source or direct contracting method (an alternative to competitive options) creates a lot of controversies. The aim of this study is to explore the issues and practices of single source procurement and contracting methods, their justifications and impact on the project performance and sustainability. Adopting the mixed approach of qualitative and content analysis techniques; case study of conflict effected nations is conducted. For this purpose, a systematic literature review (SLR) of 15 conflict affected nations in Asia is carried out and case study of Timor-Leste located in East-Asia and Nepal located in South-Asia is conducted on the basis of research purposive approach. Similarly, a group discussion, preliminary interviews and in-depth interviews are also conducted involving project stake holders and then simple triangulation approach is applied for verification and validation purpose. Findings from in-depth interviews of 30 experienced participants, 5 group discussions and 10 preliminary interviews are included in this research paper. The participants have identified 15 key factors those are responsible for single-source contracting decisions like poor institutional capacity, political interference, corruption motives, weak private sector competition, decision delays, collusions among bidders, emergency situations and others. Identified consequences of direct contracting methods are delivery of goods and services in poor quality, cost overrun, promote corruption, social conflict, injustice, political instability including overall projects performance. It is expected that the findings of this research will contribute to a better understanding towards proper application of the available competitive methods of public procurement and contracting operations rather than selecting the non-competitive choices.

Year: 2020

The more and more rising complexity of the industrial environment is triggering companies in a way that is more challenging than ever before. Not only are factory planning projects difficult to handle because of the dynamics and complexity also the necessary planning of the accompanied building gets more and more difficult. To handle this complexity and reduce time and effort for planning as a major factor of success the mainly separately done planning aspects needs to be synchronized. This paper will show an approach of a hybrid factory-building planning method in order to be able to shorten planning time and effort. By using a constraint solving technique the necessary planning tasks are aligned partly automatically and will be processed as a useful planning workflow in form of a gantt diagram for the overall project management.
