Authors: J. Calderon‐Tellez; Milton M. Herrera; Gary Bell
Year: 2025

PurposeThis paper aims to contribute to a better understanding of the relationship between the rework cycle with system dynamics (SD) models and the Project Management Institute (PMI) process group.Design/methodology/approachTo achieve the aim of this paper, 84 articles that blended SD models and project management (PM) were analysed to identify key variables used in PM modelling. The key variables were utilised to build an extended SD model with multiple rework cycles to explain the link between the rework cycle SD model and PMI process group.FindingsThe results show that SD might be a favourable approach to capture the reality of the project life cycle when it is extended to represent front-ending, delivery and back-ending. In fact, SD models could potentially be extended to the agile and hybrid methodologies for improving the PM.Research limitations/implicationsAlthough this paper provides a better understanding about the extended project life cycle by SD modelling, the results reported herein should be considered in future research that comprises the design of a SD model considering the agile and hybrid methodologies for PM.Practical implicationsThis paper shows how the rework cycle can be applied to the extended project life cycle and the PMI process groups. Additionally, it highlights why SD modelling is a crucial tool for assisting managers with long-term decision-making in PM.Originality/valueThis study is among the first to explore the integration of rework cycle SD models within the PMI process groups. Specifically, it may prove valuable in supporting decision-making for project managers at each stage of a project’s extended life cycle. As a result, the research also contributes to the ongoing discussion on integrating PM with sustainability and innovation considerations.

Authors: B. Popovic; A. Balota; D. Strujic
Year: 2016

Software who is being developed for more than a year, is categorized in the group of large projects, and is entering the area of critical and risky in terms of their successful completion. Because of those reasons, they require constant monitoring by the software manager. In order to perform adequate monitoring of developed solution and its projects, there are a number of software metrics that provide these information in numerical form, but very few of them is displayed to software manager in visual form. Predictions for future solution development, and its visual representation, based on historical data gathered from the same system, are usually not included in such systems. These kind of systems must have the ability to predict state of the developed system in the future, and adapt its output upon having analyzed his software metrics history data. In this paper, we propose a intelligent system that will analyze software metrics history data of the solution, and make predictions and visual outputs to support software manager decisions. The results show that using this decision support tool, as a form of intelligent system, helps software managers in their decision making during project management, and in reducing overall project risk.

An Experience Report on Using LEGO-based Activities in a Software Engineering Course
Authors: Kiev Gama
Year: 2019

As a natural social evolution, new generations tend to bring a shift in behavior and mindset. Studies have shown that millennial students prefer an active learning approach instead of traditional lectures. In Active Learning, instead of passively listening, students learn by participating in more engaging activities. As a way to gradually transition to that approach in a Software Engineering course, we started experimenting LEGO-based activities, which provide a simplified way to understand concepts that would be too large or too difficult to demonstrate if using programming languages to build software from scratch. In this paper, we present an experience report on students learning and practicing software engineering concepts using LEGO bricks in two different activities: requirements engineering and agile project management. We adapted practices taken from industry-tailored training approaches and applied them in an undergraduate course classroom, collecting feedback from students through quantitative and qualitative data. We describe the approach, the perception of students and the lessons learned while teaching using that approach.

Year: 2024

Projects are marred with various challenges and uncertainties from the onset of their inception to implementation and completion phases. These uncertainties if not mitigated properly affect subsequent delivery of project objectives thereby causing delays, cost overruns and sometimes may lead to project failures.  Therefore, risk response planning are major features in project management that project managers, project teams and related stakeholders must effectively employ to deal with the risks and uncertainties that may interfere with the projects in order to realize the project success.  This study therefore sought to analyze the effect of risk response planning on project implementation among faith-based organizations in Kenya. The study focused on the projects in the Catholic Diocese of Ngong. Contingency theories informed the foundation upon which the study variables were reviewed to establish their relationships. The study adopted a descriptive case design to analyze how risk management practices affect the implementation of projects in Catholic Diocese of Ngong. The target population involved 240 members that were drawn from the PPC and PEC. The sample size was 72 members whom were selected by simple random sampling and purposive sampling techniques to give each member in the population a chance of selection and ensure that only those with relevant information are involved in the study. A structured questionnaire aided in gathering primary data for the study. The questionnaires were issued to the respondents through a drop and pick method and data collected were analyzed with the help of statistical packages for social sciences (SPSS) version 23. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive analysis while qualitative data were analyzed through content analysis and data presented in frequency tables, pie charts and graphs. The study found a strong significant positive relationship between risk response planning and project implementation.. The study recommended that organizations should formulate and put in place elaborate risk response plans to enable them succeed in their project implementation. The researcher further recommends for more studies to be conducted on risk response plans other than the ones the study concentrated as they only accounted for 57.8%.
Project managers' understanding of continuous improvement in project management
Authors: Evliya Dağgöl; Tufan Özsoy
Year: 2024

In today's dynamic business world, companies must be able to adapt flexibly to constant change. To maintain their competitive advantage, companies must constantly review and improve their operating protocols. The concept of continuous improvement is based on a process-oriented view and aims to constantly refine the tools used to identify and solve problems. The adoption of the continuous improvement paradigm has steadily gained momentum in the field of project management. A comprehensive review of the existing literature reveals a conspicuous gap in the field of project management - insufficient attention to the integration of continuous improvement principles. In order to close this recognisable knowledge gap, this study examines in detail the role and reception of the philosophy of continuous improvement in the field of project management from the perspective of the project managers themselves. To achieve this goal, the insights and perspectives of project managers were systematically collected and subjected to rigorous analysis using an approach rooted in qualitative research methodology. The results of this research shed light on the high regard that project managers have for the continuous improvement approach. Nonetheless, they lament the incongruity of perspectives within the organizations they work for and point to a pronounced lack of understanding at the corporate level. It becomes clear that cultivating an institutional understanding of continuous improvement is essential for more effective execution of project management and mitigation of deviations from intended outcomes. Following the establishment of organizational awareness and the internalization of the principles of continuous improvement, the subsequent phase necessitates the training, motivation, and the establishment of a priority for continuous improvement throughout the entirety of the project management process.

Year: 2016

This paper presents the design and evaluation of a Web‐based collaborative learning environment called EduCo for learning and practicing team‐based exercises in computer science and software engineering courses. EduCo's defining characteristic is integrating a number of services for software development activities, for example, project management, requirements engineering, design, and programming into integrated shared workspaces with social‐networking facilities to enhance collaboration among students and instructors. We conducted a controlled experiment to evaluate the effectiveness of the system in doing a three‐iteration programming project. A total of 126 second‐year students who attended an object‐oriented programming course participated in the experiment. The results show that while the system was not found to affect student programming performance, it improved student engagement and satisfaction when working in teams. These results imply that the system's shared workspaces and social‐networking services have the potential to enhance learning outcomes of students working in teams when these features are integrated into collaborative learning environments. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
