Year: 2025

PurposeDespite the benefits of enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, construction organisations in Sri Lanka fail to adopt ERP systems successfully due to functional issues. Functional issues arise because of the gap between ERP protocols and construction practices. The purpose of this study is to identify the functional issues in ERP implementation and to propose a framework for the systematic adoption of ERP in the construction industry in Sri Lanka.Design/methodology/approachA comprehensive literature review was carried out to identify the issues when adopting ERP protocols into construction practices. These were classified into ten knowledge modules using PMBOK-Version 6 (Project Management Body of Knowledge). Then a questionnaire was developed and validated through an expert forum with five experts. The validated questionnaire was distributed among ERP users in C1-C5 grade construction enterprises in Sri Lanka. Those enterprises were simultaneously operating in multiple construction sites and already experienced ERP implementation. The estimated population was 210 from which 174 responses were received indicating an 82% response rate. Data was analysed using the Chi-Square test.FindingsThe analysis established that there is a significant gap level between ERP protocols and construction practices. The highest significant gap with a Chi-square value of 158.766 exists in the area of inventory management. Other areas such as human resource management (HRM) (142.366), asset management (130.264), finance (126.267), site operations (103.793), project management (53.88), purchasing (34.324), petty cash (28.337), estimating and tendering (22.148) and subcontract management (20.492) show a significant gap level respectively.Originality/valueThe paper establishes comprehensive strategies and a framework developed using the protocols prescribed in webERP (TM) and adopting it to onsite construction practices. webERP (TM) system was developed based on best practices defined in PMBOK (Version 6) and CIDA (Construction Industry Development Authority) specifications for efficient construction practices in Sri Lanka.

Authors: Khoerul Anam; Aries Firman; Akbar A. Utama
Year: 2024

The Indonesian Stock Exchange (IDX) is a capital market regulator that relies heavily on information technology (IT) for its operational activities. The IDX faces substantial difficulties in software development due to frequent changes initiated by various divisions, resulting in extra third-party charges for each request and leading to substantial costs. This article aims to identify the factors influencing resource allocation costs and to provide recommendations for improving resource allocation in software development project management. This article used a mixed-method approach combining both qualitative and quantitative methodologies, which involves conducting interviews with multiple stakeholders and reviewing literature that employs various frameworks, such as project management body of knowledge, control objective for information technologies, and simple multiattribute rating for decision-making. The primary objective of this article is to identify and categorize the key factors influencing decisions on sourcing schemes in software development project management by examining resource allocation and prioritization, particularly in engagements with third parties. This article provides insights to enhance the efficiency of software project management practices. This article proposes company to adopt the Synergy Blend approach to improve resource allocation and project management within software development. The Synergy Blend approach combines the elements of waterfall and agile methodologies based on each software's specifics in maximizing resource allocation and aligning project goals. However, the implementation of the IT program and portfolio management has limited improvement benefits. Furthermore, this article directly supports the growth of the company by optimizing resource allocation, reducing costs, and enhancing software development processes.

Health information systems (HIS) have progressed from being used to manage billing to impacting patient safety and health professionals' job satisfaction. Many decisions are made during project management and the information system lifecycle of a HIS. Medical librarians are underutilized in HIS lifecycles; it may not be clear to stakeholders what they can provide and where their services fit. Medical librarians possess expertise to navigate various search resources and can investigate inquiries during information systems project lifecycles. Librarians can market specific skills to project lifecycle teams such as those involved in computerized provider order entry (CPOE), electronic medication administration record (eMAR) and root cause analysis (RCA). HIS project personnel, including patient safety team members, should make use of medical librarians in phases of health information systems project management. This will help them meet institutional and global objectives for evidence-based use of technology towards improved patient safety.
Critical Success Factors for ERP Implementation: Two Directions Focusing on Employee Perceptions in Qatar
Authors: Muradallah Idilbi; E. Abu-Shanab
Year: 2022

Due to the high failure rate of enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, implementation issues have been highly addressed in the literature. Two major directions were followed in the literature focusing on technology adoption theories, and focusing on the critical success factors (CSF) of ERP implementation from organizational perspectives. However, few studies covered both directions in one study. This study extended the TAM with computer self-efficacy (CSE), and explored the major CSF that influence the implementation process of ERP systems in a Qatari environment. 321 valid responses were collected from employees working in 40 different organizations with varied business lines in Qatar. Results indicated that perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use and computer self-efficacy were significant predictors of behavioral intention (R2 = 0.56). Major findings of the descriptive analysis related to the CSF concluded that top management support, followed by users’ training, and project management process are the major ones perceived by the sample.
The Case for Information Brokering During Major Change: The Experience of the Transition Support Office of the McGill University Health Centre.
Authors: Malvina Klag; Marie-Claire Richer
Year: 2016

This paper describes the emergence of an "information brokerage" in the project management office of the McGill University Health Centre (MUHC) in Montreal. This process evolved during unprecedented transformation linked to a redevelopment project. Information brokering became a core function in the MUHC's context of major change. To develop an information brokering model, the paper draws upon the literature on knowledge brokering, applies Daft and Lengel's (1986) seminal framework on information processing in organizations, and builds on the MUHC experience. The paper proposes that knowledge brokering and information brokering are related, yet distinct in content, purpose and structure.

Year: 2025

This study investigates the critical role of information technology integration in enhancing project risk management, specifically examining the mediating effect of risk identification effectiveness. Based on a quantitative approach, the study collected data from 173 respondents working in the construction, engineering, and telecommunication sectors using a comprehensive questionnaire. We employed Smart PLS-SEM for data analysis to test the study hypotheses. Our findings reveal that IT integration significantly and positively influences both risk identification effectiveness and overall project risk management. Importantly, the study confirms the mediating role of risk identification effectiveness, indicating that IT's contribution to successful project risk management is significantly enhanced when it empowers teams to identify potential risks early and accurately. These findings indicate the strategic importance for organizations in these sectors to prioritize investments in IT solutions that not only streamline project management processes but also specifically enhance risk identification capabilities. Discussion and conclusion were depicted at the end of work.
Toward introducing notification technology into distributed project teams
Authors: Jamie L. Smith; S. Bohner; D. Mccrickard
Year: 2005

Software development can be thought of as the evolution of abstract requirements into a concrete software system. The evolution, achieved through a successive series of elaborations and refinements, is inherently a complex process. The complexity is not merely in the product - the complexity of managing the evolution of the product throughout the life of a project is proportional to the size and complexity of the product. Managing software project teams is a complex task complicated by the distribution of project teams. Distributed collaboration requires adequate support for team coordination and risk management. Human-computer interaction (HCI) combines technical concerns with human psychological concerns. Similarly, software project managers confront complexities in both of these dimensions. In this paper, we report on a collaborative design environment called LINK-UP being developed to guide the design process and facilitate reuse, We examine some Web-based project management tools in terms of their support for collaborative design and virtual team processes. We present a notification system approach to making the design record a natural by-product of the design process and a lever for knowledge reuse. Knowledge from past projects could then be used to automatically notify project teams of potential problems and suggest possible solutions.

Authors: H. K. Breesam; Hanan Abdul Munem Rajab
Year: 2023

Government-sponsored projects in Iraq significantly improve the economic situation and provide services but face high rates of troubling blocks. This work aims to identify indicative factors of the Troubled Project using periodic health check reports based on a literature review and interviews with Iraqi experts. As a result, a questionnaire was prepared that included four sections. The first is personal information; the second section is information about knowing the level of institutions’ implementation of project management through prepared documents. The third section is about indicative factors for the project's trouble, including 25 workers; the fourth section is about the questions in the periodic reports to check the project's health. Findings show that the following factors affect the troubled projects: inaccurate initial budget and schedule estimates; poor project scope description; poor team communication; poor planning and definition of the project; lack of a risk management plan and disregarding risk indicators; high rate of rework, and ineffective documentation of project plans with a high relative importance index that ranges from 0.91 to 0.81. Thus, the institutions' activation of the project examination reports with the proposed questions with a relative importance index ranging from 0.88 to 0.77 helps identify the main factors for the troubled projects.

Year: 2023

This article discusses the interactions among project management, social capital, and organizational efficiency in the cross-departmental synergetic design of home appliance enterprises, with the goal of providing a reference for related enterprises’ collaborative innovation. The structural equation modeling was used in this study to analyze the trust relationships, shared vision, and mutually motivating innovation teams established among people, information, social capital, and organizational efficiency in the project context. Research has found that effective information sharing and communication in the cross-departmental synergetic design of enterprises can significantly improve organizational performance and competitiveness under the conditions of social capital and task adaptation. Synergetic design innovations in organizations promote mutual trust, understanding, and the acceleration of innovation among organizational members, thereby achieving the enterprise’s goal of sustainable development. This study concludes that social capital is essential for enterprises.
Work in progress: Engaging new PIs using an electronic mentoring system
Authors: E. Cady; Simil L Raghavan
Year: 2012

Success as a Principal Investigator (PI) of a National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded project requires both project management and change leadership skills, disciplinary knowledge, and familiarity with the project itself. Because gaining the skills of management and leadership involves either first-hand or vicarious experience, new PIs might struggle to find the best course of action when facing a difficult situation. While individual mentoring could enable new and prospective PIs to acquire these skills, arranging a mentor for all new PIs is not feasible. In addition, prior work has indicated a preference in faculty for gaining knowledge informally (e.g., using case studies) from mentors who have experienced similar situations rather than in more formally assigned partnerships. Thus, we seek to understand whether a many-to-many electronic mentoring website is an effective method to aid new and prospective PIs in a range of NSF programs in developing project and change management skills.

Authors: J. S. Mateo; L. Carral; Emma Diaz; J. Fraguela; G. Iglesias
Year: 2018

As projects have become more and more complex, there has been an increasing concern about the concept of project complexity. An understanding of project complexity and how it might be managed is of significant importance for project managers because of the differences associated with decision-making and goal attainment that are related to complexity. Complexity influences project planning and control; it can hinder the clear identification of goals and objectives, it can affect the selection of an appropriate project organization form, or it can even affect project outcomes. Identifying the different concepts associated to project complexity, its main factors and characteristics, the different types of project complexity, and the main project complexity models, can be of great support in assisting the global project management community. In this paper, we give a general overview of how complexity has been investigated by the project management community and propose several ideas to address this topic in the future.
Automated Machine Learning in the smart construction era: Significance and accessibility for industrial classification and regression tasks
Authors: Rui Zhao; Zhongze Yang; Dong Liang; Fan Xue
Year: 2023

This paper explores the application of automated machine learning (AutoML) techniques to the construction industry, a sector vital to the global economy. Traditional ML model construction methods were complex, time-consuming, reliant on data science expertise, and expensive. AutoML shows the potential to automate many tasks in ML construction and to create outperformed ML models. This paper aims to verify the feasibility of applying AutoML to industrial datasets for the smart construction domain, with a specific case study demonstrating its effectiveness. Two data challenges that were unique to industrial construction datasets are focused on, in addition to the normal steps of dataset preparation, model training, and evaluation. A real-world application case of construction project type prediction is provided to illustrate the accessibility of AutoML. By leveraging AutoML, construction professionals without data science expertise can now utilize software to process industrial data into ML models that assist in project management. The findings in this paper may bridge the gap between data-intensive smart construction practices and the emerging field of AutoML, encouraging its adoption for improved decision-making, project outcomes, and efficiency
Evaluation of project and portfolio Management Information Systems with the use of a hybrid IFS-TOPSIS method
Authors: V. Gerogiannis; P. Fitsilis; A. Kameas
Year: 2013

Contemporary Project and Portfolio Management Information Systems PPMIS have embarked from single-user, single-project management systems to web-based, collaborative, multi-project, multi-operational information systems which offer organization-wide management support. The variety of offered functionalities, along with the variation among each organization needs and the plethora of PPMIS available in the market, make the selection of an appropriate PPMIS a complicate, multi-criteria decision problem. The problem complexity is further augmented since the multi stakeholders involved in the evaluation/selection process cannot often rate precisely their preferences and the performances of candidate PPMIS on them. To meet these challenges, this paper presents a PPMIS selection/evaluation approach that applies a hybrid group decision making method based on TOPSIS and Intuitionistic Fuzzy Sets IFS. The approach considers the vagueness of assessors' judgments when evaluating PPMIS and the uncertainty of users when they judge their needs. The approach is demonstrated through a case study aiming to support the Hellenic Open University to select a suitable PPMIS.
Achieving Competitive Advantage through the use of Project Management under the Plan-do-Check-act Concept
Authors: S. Srivannaboon
Year: 2009

Based on case study research that analysed nine projects in seven market leaders across industries, this study addresses the ways of achieving various organisational competitive advantages through the use of project management for senior executives and top managers. In particular, the research findings identified two common themes that formed the linkages of the alignment between project management and business strategy. It was found that the competitive advantages drive the focus and content of project management as part of an intended strategy. At the same time, the detected changing business and project conditions help improve the execution of business strategy and/or the management of projects as part of an emergent strategy. The key for success is to develop appropriate project management styles that support the business strategy's competitive advantages and identify general guidelines regarding how to adapt their project management based on the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) concept. This should be done through a creative, artful and adaptive process in which organisational strategy and organisation as a whole are taken into account.
