The Effects of Intra-Organizational Agency Problems on is Project Alignment
Authors: Arbi El Fedi; F. Ahlemann; M. Kaiser
Year: 2012

Information system (IS) project strategy alignment is considered a solution to overcome the challenges involved in IT strategy implementation and a requirement for the realization of business-IT alignment. Evidently, IS project failure is often not the result of lacking or ineffective project management practices but of inappropriate social interactions among project stakeholders or – in other words – limited project-social congruence (PSC). However, little research has been conducted with regard to the PSC dimension. Existing models and theories fail to explain problems, such as goal conflicts and project stakeholders’ opportunistic behavior, and the reasons for their emergence. We hold that agency theory is the most suitable theory to explain such phenomena and subsequently use this theory to explore the interactions between the different project stakeholders. We seek to identify the intra-organizational project agency relationships and problems as well as the triggers for the emergence of such problems in order to investigate how organizations respond to agency problems and to explain these responses. We use an explorative multi-case study approach to theory generation and identify two transitive agency relationships that affect IS project strategy alignment. We expand IS project alignment literature by investigating agency problems in the context of IS project alignment.
Why the Basic Axioms of Risk Assessment Can Be Problematic to Identify Risk? – The Development of the VUCA Meter
Authors: T. V. Fridgeirsson; H. Ingason
Year: 2023

The VUCA world is the epitome of the challenges linked with some of the undercurrents currently shaping businesses in the projectified society. The terms Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity (VUCA) are used as descriptive for the continuous flux project managers and project planners are forced to keep at bay. In this article, the authors present an idea to connect the VUCA concept as a risk identification platform to access, identify and isolate low-probability but high-impact events often called black swans or fat tail events. It is argued that the assumptions of conventional risk assessment in the domain of project management can lead to skewed general outcomes due to limitations of the intellect to assess probability. The outline of the VUCA meter is drafted and argued that the meter can augment the conventional risk assessment approach.
Learning support through scaffolding collaborative project work
Authors: Matthias Korn; M. Veith
Year: 2009

A Computer Club House (CCH) can be understood as a community of prosumers in which members are producing and consuming personally meaningful artifacts of each other. In a long term case study, we have analyzed learning practices in a German CCH setting. Observing children and their parents working with construction kits, we found that they had problems in maintaining the flow of their project work over time. Therefore, we develop concepts for a project management tool which support CCH settings to scaffold their growing information space in terms of artifact re-use and expertise development over time. Scaffolding in this regard is understood to support collaborative processes of learning communities.
Project Management Turnover: Causes, Timing, and Impacts on Performance
Authors: Mohammed Quazie Altamimi
Year: 2024

Project management turnover, the departure of key project managers, is a pervasive issue with significant implications for project performance and organizational success. This research explores the multifaceted dimensions of project management turnover, focusing on its causes, timing, and impacts. A comprehensive review of literature reveals critical drivers, including organizational factors, project characteristics, and individual motivations, while emphasizing the pivotal role of turnover timing in project success. The study finds that both early and late turnover events disrupt knowledge continuity, delay deliverables, and compromise quality. Recommendations include proactive succession planning, robust knowledge transfer mechanisms, and fostering a supportive organizational culture to mitigate the adverse effects of turnover. By addressing these challenges, organizations can ensure smoother leadership transitions, sustain team morale, and enhance project outcomes.
Multi-stage models for the failure of complex systems, cascading disasters, and the onset of disease
Authors: A. Webster
Year: 2018

Complex systems can fail through different routes, often progressing through a series of (rate-limiting) steps and modified by environmental exposures. The onset of disease, cancer in particular, is no different. A simple but very general mathematical framework is described for studying the failure of complex systems, or equivalently, the onset of disease. It includes the Armitage-Doll multi-stage cancer model as a particular case, and has potential to provide new insights into how diseases arise and progress. A method described by E.T. Jaynes is developed to provide an analytical solution for the models, and highlights connections between the convolution of Laplace transforms, sums of random samples, and Schwinger/Feynmann parameterisations. Examples include: exact solutions to the Armitage-Doll model, the sum of Gamma-distributed variables with integer-valued shape parameters, a clonal-growth cancer model, and a model for cascading disasters. The approach is sufficiently general to be used in many contexts, such as engineering, project management, disease progression, and disaster risk for example, allowing the estimation of failure rates in complex systems and projects. The intended result is a mathematical toolkit for the study of failure rates in complex systems and the onset of disease, cancer in particular.
Applying Scrum project management in ECE curriculum
Authors: R. Bass; B. Pejcinovic; John Grant
Year: 2016

Scrum is a cyclical project management technique whereby members of a development team work together to define product development strategies in pursuit of a common objective in an adaptable and incremental manner. We have found that Scrum is a promising approach for exposing students to project management of undergraduate engineering projects. But, the technique is not used often in undergraduate education, and it is virtually unknown outside of software engineering circles. We are experimenting with using Scrum in projects across several years of undergraduate engineering education. Our goal is to gradually expose students to project management in order to make their project experiences and learning more efficient and effective. We report on successful initial implementations in freshman courses and senior capstone design courses. Obstacles include expanding practice across all four years, accommodating a diverse student population, and overcoming a lack of experience in assessing Scrum project management.

In Mexico, the small and medium size enterprises (SMEs) are key for the software development industry. For them, having highly qualified personal for the development of high quality software products is a fundamental piece to guarantee their permanency in the market. Therefore, matching the software industry requirements with the academy training represents a significant problem that must be addressed for both sectors benefit. This paper presents an analysis of the coverage between the Moprosoft norm, standard developed to be used for software industry to ensure quality in Software Engineering practices, and ten academic curricular programs of higher education related to Computer Science and Informatics; to get an overview of the knowledge and skills that Computer Science students acquire at universities, regarding knowledge required in organizations that work under process models. In addition, a survey to 32 SMEs was conducted to contrast the coverage results with their hired, recently graduated, personal.
BUILDING AN INTEGRATED SYSTEM FOR MANAGEMENT OF PROJECTS ((SOME WATER PROJECTS AS A CASE STUDY))
Authors: Ziyad J. Fadhal; Rafa H. Suhaili
Year: 2009

Many useful softwares in projects management are available now. Ms Project and Primavera are someexamples of these softwares. Those programs need to be fed by information by the user. The usersusually collect this information from the project and design documents. This collection process needsconsiderable time and efforts, and usually accompanied of some errors in data transfer process.In order to reduce the required time and efforts and to eliminate individual errors in data transferprocess, an Integrated System is needed. This Integrated System can extract the graphical informationfrom an AutoCAD drawing and transfer it to a digital form suitable for processing in the projectmanagement softwares such as Excel and Ms Project.In this research an Integrated System (IS) was built, to connect three softwares, AutoCAD, Excel andMs Project, using Active X data transfer technology. The Integrated System was tested using three casestudies. Al-Nahrain University waste water network, the Islamic University water supply network, andan irrigation and drainage project. The results indicated the capability of the system to transfer thegraphical data into digital data, and to conduct the quantity of survey of the selected projects.It is worthy to mention that this system requires some modification that is should be adopted in theAutoCAD drawings. The drawings should be performed using layers, and definition blocks for objects.These modifications are simple and can be done easily. Moreover the system was built in a way thatgives the ability of adding other case studies (i.e., other types of projects).
COST AND TIME ANALYSIS OF THE FAST FOOD RESTAURANT BUILDING CONSTRUCTION PROJECT IN PONTIANAK USING CRASHING METHOD
Authors: Oskar Ezra Alan Muin; H. T. Tjendani; Budi Witjaksana
Year: 2024

The construction project of the McD Pontianak building encountered significant challenges due to a tight schedule of 110 calendar days and unforeseen delays arising from the existing building's foundation. These delays led to a setback in the construction progress, prompting the need for strategic measures to accelerate the project and mitigate the delays amounting to 11.48%, equivalent to 12.63 days. The potential financial consequences of this delay were estimated at IDR 228,366,605. In order to expedite the construction process, the chosen acceleration method was the crashing method, involving an increase in overtime ranging from 1 to 4 working hours, in accordance with relevant laws and regulations. This required a comprehensive analysis encompassing normal cost, normal duration, critical path, productivity, crashing cost, and crashing duration calculations. Upon thorough examination, it was determined that the optimal solution to overcome the delays was to implement an additional 2 hours of overtime. However, this decision came with associated costs, resulting in a necessary expenditure of IDR 93,651,965 to achieve a crashing time of 18.30 days. Despite the increased financial commitment, this strategic approach was deemed essential to meet the project's original schedule and avoid potential penalties. The findings and conclusions drawn from this analysis provide valuable insights into effective project management and decision-making in the face of unexpected challenges in the construction industry.

Year: 2014

It is no secret that many projects fail, regardless of the business sector, software projects are notoriously disaster victims, not necessarily because of technological failure, but more often due to their uncertainties. The threats identified by uncertainty in day-to-day of a project are real and immediate and the stakes in a project are often high. This paper presents a systematic review about software project management uncertainties. It helps to identify the difficulties and the actions that can minimize the uncertainties effects in the projects and how managers and teams can prepare themselves for the challenges of their projects scenario, with the aim of contributing to the improvement of project management in organizations as well as contributing to project success.
Evaluation of Project Time Performance in the Upstream Oil and Gas Industry: The Case of Ghana
Authors: Zachariah Bissah; Professor Solomon Abekah Keelson
Year: 2024

An emerging economy like Ghana, one of the developing nations in Africa, is fortunate to have started exploration
not long ago, which means that it is still developing in the field of upstream oil and gas exploration compared to
other industrialized nations that have a lot of experience in the field of project management and oil exploration.
About 80% of the management style in the upstream oil and gas sector is project-based; therefore, any delays in
project deliveries and completion will have a negative effect on completion time and, at the end of the day, affect
the performance of the organization as a whole as well as the nation as a whole. Only Crude Oil Storage Tank
Maintenance Project in the upstream oil and gas industry in Takoradi, Western Region, was included in the
research. Secondary data was taken on nine completed Crude Oil Storage Tank Maintenance Project from
managers preoccupied with project management in the Ghanaian upstream oil and gas industry in the Western
Region of Ghana. These willing management staff have been employed in the sector for more than 3 years. The
study used the budgeted cost of work scheduled (BCWS) and the budgeted cost of work performed (BCWP) as
inputs to calculate the estimated schedule (ES) and actual time (AT) to finally calculate the schedule performance
index (SPI) and schedule variance (SV). The purpose of the study is to evaluate the performance of project time
in the Ghanaian upstream oil and gas industry. The study demonstrates that out of the nine Crude Oil Storage
Tank Maintenance Project in the Ghanaian upstream oil and gas industry analyzed using both the schedule
performance index and schedule variance, eight projects were completed on time and one project was delayed.

Authors: Svea Urlić; Z. Car
Year: 2023

Selection of project management methodology in development of software systems is very challenging, especially taking into consideration that every project is unique. In this paper hybrid approach as a combination of traditional plan-driven and agile methodologies of project management, with emphasis on applying Scrum in waterfall project management, in development of web-applications is analyzed. This paper provides results of seven qualitative researches done through interviews with project managers and statistical data analysis of survey respondents (n=47). Results of qualitative research show that most projects follow a pattern in which waterfall methodology of project management is combined with agile practices -agile was used in almost all projects which were the subject of research in project phase of Development. Results of quantitative research conducted through a survey confirmed that Scrum and waterfall are the most frequently used methodologies in web application development projects and also indicated the frequency of overlapping of Development and Testing project phases. Paper provides guidelines for combining waterfall model with agile models and emphasizes the importance of planning, analyzing user requirements and defining software architecture at the beginning of the project, as well as delivering multiple minor development versions to users for testing.

Year: 2014

The paper provides an in depth analysis of empirical evidence on the state of practice within the agile domain obtained through a survey conducted in 2012. The context of focus is agile software processes and teams and the particular topics of interest revolve around three axes: (i) communication; (ii) project management; and (iii) quality assurance and validation. The aim of the survey is to deliver the current levels of agile adoption and practices as these are recorded in the responses of professionals in IT services and the software industry. The goal of the survey is to provide evidence‐based assessment of the level of agile adoption by software development organizations, in relation to the general profile of the respondents (country of origin, business sectors, roles, etc.) and compared with different types of practices followed, such as agile techniques adopted, team organization and communication techniques, and project management. Particular patterns and trends are identified in the survey connecting the use of the agile paradigm with the aforementioned practices and investigating its relation with the roles of the respondents and the business strategies of their organizations.

Pluralism in PMO Performance: The Case of a PMO Dedicated to a Major Organizational Transformation
Authors: M. Aubry; Marie-Claire Richer; M. Lavoie-Tremblay; Guylaine Cyr
Year: 2011

The focus of this article is on the contribution made by the project management office (PMO) to organizational performance. It explores the particular case of a PMO dedicated to a major organizational transformation within a Canadian university hospital. The national government has asked hospitals to provide strict control over their budgets through implementing strong governance mechanisms. How can PMO performance be assessed within this context? Perception of two different groups has been analyzed within a competing values framework, allowing for a combination of four different performance conceptions. Results show certain similarities in the barriers to PMO performance but, most importantly, they reveal that between the two groups a paradox exists regarding what is valued in PMO performance. Results bring empirical evidence of the application of the competing values framework to the health care sector, but also to a wide variety of industries, public or private.
