Agile Project Planning and Execution in Large-Scale IT Projects
Authors: Srikanthudu Avancha; Om Goel; Pandi Kirupa; Gopalakrishna Pandian
Year: 2024

Agile methods have changed project management, particularly for major IT projects. This abstract examines Agile project planning and execution in complex IT settings, where size and scope bring distinct problems. Traditional project management methods struggle to handle major IT projects' fast changes and complexity. Agile's focus on flexibility, collaboration, and customer-centricity makes it ideal for these situations due to its adaptability. Agile planning breaks complicated IT project needs into manageable components or iterations in large-scale initiatives. Iterative development keeps projects manageable and adaptable. Agile stresses frequent feedback loops, where each iteration is examined, to help teams change and realign their objectives. Large IT projects need ongoing feedback since mistakes may be costly and team alignment is essential. Cross-functional teams are crucial to Agile in big projects. Agile fosters cross-disciplinary cooperation, which is crucial in big IT environments where development, operations, security, and business teams must collaborate. Teams meet regularly, called'scrums,' to review progress, identify barriers, and plan future actions. With its focus on openness and responsibility, the scrum structure keeps team members aligned and the project on pace. Resource management is another important part of Agile project planning for big IT projects. Agile resource allocation is dynamic, unlike set schedules. Large IT projects, where resource demands vary fast, need this flexibility. Thus, agile techniques reduce waste and ensure teams have what they need at each project stage by optimizing resource utilization. Large Agile project execution involves risk management. Due to Agile's iterative structure, teams may regularly analyze risk and address problems before they become significant. Risks may be exacerbated in big IT projects, thus proactive risk management is crucial. Agile teams see risks as opportunities to improve, promoting continual learning and adaptability.
Value-Based Software Project Management - A Business Perspective on Software Projects
Authors: Anderson Itaborahy; K. Oliveira; R. R. D. Santos
Year: 2008

When an organisation decides to invest in a software project it expects to get some value in return. Thus, decisions in software project management should be based on this expected value by trying to understand and influence its driver factors. However, despite the significant progress software engineering and project management has experienced in recent years, both disciplines work in a ‘value neutral’ context, by which is meant focusing on technical correctness and adherence to plans. This paper intends to contribute to a view of software project management based on business value by identifying value determinant factors in a software project and proposing some tools for recording and monitoring them. The proposed approach will be tested in a real project, in order to evaluate its applicability and usefulness in decision-making.
EXAMINING THE GENDER GAP IN ENGINEERING PROFESSIONAL IDENTIFICATION.
Authors: Anita D. Patrick; Catherine Riegle-Crumb; M. Borrego
Year: 2021

Attracting women to the engineering profession has been a topic of ongoing discussion and examination. In light of perceptions of what it means to be an engineer, both male and female students are navigating and aligning their future career goals based on their understandings of engineering as a profession. This study examines 1) the extent to which there are gender differences in affinity toward elements of professional practice (framing and solving problems, tinkering, collaboration, analysis, design, and project management), and 2) whether gender differences in affinity toward these practices contribute to the gender gap in engineering professional identification. Survey data was collected from 2,256 undergraduate engineering students in three majors at one large public institution. Results show significant gender differences in affinities toward five of the six professional practices considered. Additionally, multivariate regression analyses revealed that the gender gap in engineering professional identification is partially explained by differences in these affinities toward engineering professional practices. Further analyses also revealed that affinity toward framing and solving problems was a stronger predictor of engineering professional identification for female students than for male students. Implications of the results are discussed.
The Impact of Project Managers Traits on Project Success
Authors: Kai Luo
Year: 2024

Project management is an indispensable aspect of business that depends heavily on the capabilities and characteristics of the project managers, with his/her personality traits playing an essential role in leading their project to its goals. This paper explores the critical role of the project manager's personality traits and cultural background in the success of project management and emphasizes its influence on team dynamics, stakeholder engagement, and overall project environments. The Big Five personality traits provide a framework for understanding these influences. The paper also delves into how the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) impacts project management approaches, specifically the Extraversion/Introversion and Judgment/Perception dimensions. In addition, the paper examines the impact of global and cultural differences on project manager traits and management styles, emphasizing the need for project managers to adapt to different cultural contexts in a world where understanding and leveraging cultural differences is critical to project success and the achievement of broader strategic goals. This comprehensive analysis offers insights into the multidimensional role of project managers within today's highly dynamic global project management environment.

Authors: Citlalih Gutierrez Estrada; C. Baron; L. Geneste; P. Clermont; D. Esteve; Samuel Rochet
Year: 2005

Nowadays, the development of high quality and high performance products, with short time to market, represents a challenge for manufacturers. So, they must take into account, in the early steps of the product development, constraints that usually appear during the project management process. In this article, we define a process, based on the reuse of technical and nontechnical knowledge and experience feedback, that improves the communication between the design and the project management teams, in order to facilitate the emergence of collective solutions. After a brief presentation of the research objectives, this paper tackles the problem to closely connect design and management and suggests a methodology to associate the project tasks with the functionalities that the product has to implement.
Organizational Culture Restraining in-House Knowledge Transfer between Project Managers a Case Study
Authors: P. Eskerod; Hans Jørgen Skriver
Year: 2007

Even though the importance of knowledge transfer within project-oriented organizations is frequently emphasized in the recent project management literature, in practice, knowledge transfer only takes place to a rather limited extent. Based on an in-depth case study, findings from a company, in which several initiatives to promote knowledge transfer between five full-time project managers were taken, are presented. However, the initiatives did not bring the expected outcome. The organizational subculture encompassing project managers may explain reluctance in involvement in knowledge transfer and in sharing of lessons learned. Based on Schein's notion (1987) six basic underlying assumptions in the organizational culture that limit knowledge transfer are identified. Further, the authors propose an interaction paradigm underlying project managers' interactions.
A clinically meaningful theory of outcome measures in rehabilitation medicine.
Authors: R. Massof
Year: 2010

Comparative effectiveness research in rehabilitation medicine requires the development and validation of clinically meaningful and scientifically rigorous measurements of patient states and theories that explain and predict outcomes of intervention. Patient traits are latent (unobservable) variables that can be measured only by inference from observations of surrogate manifest (observable) variables. In the behavioral sciences, latent variables are analogous to intensive physical variables such as temperature and manifest variables are analogous to extensive physical variables such as distance. Although only one variable at a time can be measured, the variable can have a multidimensional structure that must be understood in order to explain disagreements among different measures of the same variable. The use of Rasch theory to measure latent trait variables can be illustrated with a balance scale metaphor that has randomly added variability in the weights of the objects being measured. Knowledge of the distribution of the randomly added variability provides the theoretical structure for estimating measures from ordinal observation scores (e.g., performance measures or rating scales) using statistical inference. In rehabilitation medicine, the latent variable of primary interest is the patient's functional ability. Functional ability can be estimated from observations of surrogate performance measures (e.g., speed and accuracy) or self-report of the difficulty the patient experiences performing specific activities. A theoretical framework borrowed from project management, called the Activity Breakdown Structure (ABS), guides the choice of activities for assessment, based on the patient's value judgments, to make the observations clinically meaningful. In the case of low vision, the functional ability measure estimated from Rasch analysis of activity difficulty ratings was discovered to be a two-dimensional variable. The two visual function dimensions are independent of physical limitations and psychological state. To explain outcome measures (latent variable estimated from difficulty ratings), a theory must be developed that explicitly defines how latent variables are related to the observed manifest variables and to each other. The latent variables are categorized as primary variables, which in the case of low vision are the two visual function dimensions, and as effect modifiers, which in the case of low vision are other physical and psychological latent traits of the patients that can influence the outcome measures. Interventions give rise to latent intervention effect variables that can alter the latent primary variables or independently affect the outcome measures. The latent effect modifier variables, in turn, can alter the latent intervention effect variables. Once developed and validated, a theory of this form will predict the rehabilitation potential of individual patients, i.e., the probability of obtaining criterion outcome measures given the observed state of the patient and the choice of interventions.

Geometry of deviation measures for triangular distributions
Authors: Yuhe Wang; Eugene Pinsky
Year: 2023

Triangular distributions are widely used in many applications with limited sample data, business simulations, and project management. As with other distributions, a standard way to measure deviations is to compute the standard deviation. However, the standard deviation is sensitive to outliers. In this paper, we consider and compare other deviation metrics, namely the mean absolute deviation from the mean, the median, and the quantile-based deviation. We show the simple geometric interpretations for these deviation measures and how to construct them using a compass and a straightedge. The explicit formula of mean absolute deviation from the median for triangular distribution is derived in this paper for the first time. It has a simple geometric interpretation. It is the least volatile and is always better than the standard or mean absolute deviation from the mean. Although greater than the quantile deviation, it is easier to compute with limited sample data. We present a new procedure to estimate the parameters of this distribution in terms of this deviation. This procedure is computationally simple and may be superior to other methods when dealing with limited sample data, as is often the case with triangle distributions.
Designing a Systemic Relationship Model for Value Enhancement from the Perspective of Sustainable Development in Construction Project Management
Authors: Shahin Soltani; Hoshang Taghizadeh; ghaffar Taari
Year: 2024

Objective: The objective of this study was to design a systemic relationship model for value enhancement from the perspective of sustainable development in construction project management. Methodology: This research employs a mixed-method approach (qualitative and quantitative) conducted in three phases. In the first phase, a systematic review of scientific documents was performed using a meta-synthesis qualitative approach, leading to the identification of 9 major themes and 50 sub-themes. The thematic model was then localized into 48 sub-themes within 9 main themes using the fuzzy Delphi method. In the second phase, the localized model was converted into a questionnaire and distributed among experts. The collected data were analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). In the third phase, the internal relationships between the themes were examined, and the final systemic relationship model was developed. Findings: The findings revealed that key themes such as value governance quality, continuous evaluation and feedback, communication quality, knowledge management, and coordination within the supply chain play a crucial role in enhancing sustainable value in construction projects. These factors contribute significantly to improving project performance in achieving sustainability goals. Conclusion: This study demonstrates that value enhancement from the perspective of sustainable development in construction project management requires attention to a set of critical factors that can improve project performance in sustainability. The proposed systemic relationship model can serve as an effective managerial tool for promoting sustainable value in construction projects.
New values in the post-pandemic period: the role of the concept of “new norm”
Authors: A. Sariyeva; A.K. Zholdubayeva
Year: 2023

While the “new norm” is usually seen as a post-crisis situation, the pandemic has disrupted important structures such as health care and treatment systems, economic life, culture, socio-economic class structures and race relations, basic institutional arrangements, communities and everyday life. The situation can be assessed by looking at the arrangements put in place on a global scale. The Covid-19 pandemic has shown that the “new norm” is shaped not only by social conditions, but also by our everyday lifestyles, our culture. This can be defined by looking at some of the new skills and rules that will be in place by 2020. The article explores the definition of the “new norm” and outlines predictions for situations that have changed differently according to the “new norm”. A descriptive overview of the societal norms developed in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic is provided, and a synthetic analysis is made. The article highlights the issues of professional training for remote work, in particular, improving the technical skills of working outside the office, digital literacy of employees and self-control skills. During the pandemic, the focus was on the growth of digital literacy. Employees of many companies have successfully mastered videoconferencing, group work chats, project management systems, cloud services and other digital skills during the quarantine period. It all boils down to the fact that this is an important prerequisite for the development of additional employment (freelancing, part-time work, distance learning). A comparative analysis is also carried out of what positive and negative consequences have developed as a result of the continuation of remote employment by employees.

Authors: Farah Agia Ramadhina; Teguh Raharjo
Year: 2023

Improving team coordination for optimal performance is one of the main challenges that organizations encounter when scaling their Agile practices. Therefore, numerous companies encounter difficulties in achieving their desired performance due to this challenge. This study aims to address the challenge by proposing a new project management method design for a Software as a Service (SaaS) company in Indonesia with ineffective project management, using a scaled Agile approach. This paper contributes to providing insight into the implementation of scaled Agile method design in an organization. The research follows qualitative methods based on the Design Science Research (DSR) methodology and the eight domains of the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK), comprising six phases and two iterations. The first iteration involves projecting the current state of the company's activities and resulting in a proposal for a new project management method. The second iteration involves developing and evaluating the proposed method against the PMBOK standard. According to the findings, there are two domains that align with PMBOK and project management in the firm, namely the Stakeholder and Cycle Performance Domains. Team Performance, Development Approach, and Life Planning Performance Domain, Project Work Performance Domain, Delivery Performance Domain, Measurement Performance Domain, and Uncertainty Performance Domain are the other domains that do not suit the standard. Adequate efficient training for team performance, fostering collaboration among team members building corporate culture, and aligning company business processes with Agile methods are essential to overcome some inconsistent results.

Year: 2024

The construction industry significantly contributes to a country’s economic development, particularly in Malaysia, where it has evolved from a labour-intensive sector to a modernized one. Despite its growth, the industry faces challenges, especially in managing project timelines, leading to an increased demand for Extensions of Time (EoT) due to delays. This paper involves systematic gathering and analysing existing research findings related to EoT applications. This approach focuses on understanding contractual clauses, legal frameworks, and project management practices. By synthesizing insights from academic articles, the review identifies common challenges and gaps in research, such as unclear provisions or limited empirical data while highlighting areas for future investigation to improve EoT management in Malaysia’s construction industry. This paper examines the factors influencing EoT applications within the framework of the Malaysian Institute of Architects (MIA) Standard Form of Contract 2018. It identifies common reasons for the rejection of EoT claims, including the failure to establish a cause-effect relationship, inadequate supporting documents, late submissions, non-valid reasons, non-compliance with contractual requirements, and insufficient breakdown of claim amounts. The paper also highlights reasons for the late submission of EoT applications, such as inexperience among site staff and poor paperwork control. Additionally, the research emphasizes critical success factors for EoT applications, structured around the CEES framework – Cause, Effect, Entitlement, and Substantiation, along with the importance of clear Presentation. The study concludes by presenting a comprehensive overview of both unsuccessful and successful EoT application factors, aiming to enhance understanding and improve EoT claim management in the Malaysian construction industry. By identifying these elements, the paper contributes to better project management practices and addresses the complexities associated with EoT applications, ultimately supporting the construction sector’s role in national economic growth.
