Factors affecting the implementation of simulation modelling in healthcare: A longitudinal case study evaluation
Authors: Katrina M. Long; F. McDermott; G. Meadows; G. Meadows
Year: 2019

Abstract Simulation modelling is becoming an increasingly popular tool in healthcare management, however published evaluations of simulation modelling are rare. This study therefore aimed to provide an empirical evaluation of simulation model implementation. The study used a qualitative, longitudinal case study approach, grounded in Pragmatism, complexity theory, and the critical incident approach. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 13 senior healthcare managers and 5 researchers during a simulation modelling project. Twenty-three critical incidents were identified, including changes in government policy and funding, organisational context, intervention activities, project management, and staffing. The analysis revealed a complex adaptive system, where the role of specific implementation factors changed over time, and through interaction with each other. Constant throughout was the agency displayed by participants in pursing their individual strategic goals. Based on these findings, we argue for a flexible definition of implementation success that allows for emergent project outcomes.

The project delivery process is vulnerable to the contractual relations, roles and responsibilities of clients, contractors and consultants. Scholars view that construction projects are vulnerable to risks and uncertainty when project management fails to integrate stakeholders’ interests and resolve the tension between the stakeholders’ power expectations. This study examines the nature of project risks and uncertainty and the effectiveness of an innovative project management tool (the SAP_PPM system) in mitigating risks and uncertainty in the project delivery process. This study adopts a qualitative research approach that interviews project managers in South Africa to obtain the data to address the study problem. The study found that the failure of projects occurred when project risk and uncertainty resulted in litigation, stakeholders dissatisfaction and project delay. An emergent theory was identified, substantively explaining that using the SAP-PPM system in the project delivery process mitigates project risk and uncertainty because of its usefulness for resource allocation, priority setting, and timely project performance monitoring. Therefore, the study recommends using SAP-PPM to enhance the opportunities and strengths of the project delivery process.

Abstract Large research teams and consortia present challenges for authorship. The number of disciplines involved in the research can further complicate approaches to manuscript development and leadership. The CHARM team, representing a multi-disciplinary, multi-institutional genomics implementation study, participated in facilitated discussions inspired by team science methodologies. The discussions were centered on team members’ past experiences with authorship and perspectives on authorship in a large research team context. Team members identified challenges and opportunities that were used to create guidelines and administrative tools to support manuscript development. The guidelines were organized by the three values of equity, inclusion, and efficiency and included eight principles. A visual dashboard was created to allow all team members to see who was leading or involved in each paper. Additional tools to promote equity, inclusion, and efficiency included providing standardized project management for each manuscript and making “concept sheets” for each manuscript accessible to all team members. The process used in CHARM can be used by other large research teams and consortia to equitably distribute lead authorship opportunities, foster coauthor inclusion, and efficiently work with large authorship groups.

Year: 2019

Challenge of developing software has increased because of several factors, e.g. complexity of these systems and lack of skilled available professional next of development companies. Thus, they should seek alternatives; one of them is global software development. Therefore, software project management should adapt to this reality and resolve challenges not previously found in the “traditional” management. In this paper, we present an initial list of challenges in project management in the context of global software development and solutions proposed by researchers and project managers to try to solve these challenges. We used Literature Systematic Mapping for finding challenges and solutions for software project management. We found 29 papers and used 20 initial papers, totalizing 49 papers. The findings showed 18 challenges which were listed with its solutions.

OBJECTIVE
To describe the presence of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) in children with craniofacial anomalies (CFA), associate biodemographic characteristics and polygraph variables, and analyze the therapeutic management decided after the sleep study and the evaluation by a multidisciplinary team.


PATIENTS AND METHOD
Retrospective study. Polygraphs were performed on patients aged between 1 month and 19 years with CFA. An initial and projected management was established categorized into ventilatory support, tracheostomy, surgery, dental, and medical treatment. Descrip tive and inferential statistics were performed, evaluating the association between demographic and polygraph variables and therapeutic management.


RESULTS
34 patients were included with a median age of 4.0 years (IQR 0.9 - 6.5). Diagnosis was 41.2% cleft lip and palate, 35.3% craniosynostosis, and 23.5% micrognathia. Polygraphs were altered in 70.6% of the cases; of these, 26.5% were diagnosed as mild, 5.9% moderate, and 38.2% severe OSAS. There was an association between minimum satu ration and diagnosis of OSAS (p = 0.0036), and in the presence of OSAS with the initial management applied (p=0.0013). There was no significant relationship between the different types of CFA with the initial therapeutic management (p = 0.6565). Initial and projected managements, respectively: Venti latory support (11.8% and 2.9%), tracheostomy (11.8% and 0%), surgery (35.2% and 26.5%), dental (20.6% and 53%), and medical treatment (20.6% and 17.6 %).


CONCLUSIONS
70% of the patients with CFA presented OSAS. The greatest severity was found in Cleft Lip and Palatine and Craniosynostosis. Therapeutic management was mainly oriented towards initial surgical and planned dental treatments based on the diagnosis of OSAS and not on the type of CFA.
An Expert System for Web Site Navigation using Client Side Scripting
Authors: Scott James Williamson; Chris Liu
Year: 2005

Process T he first step in designing any web site is to define your goals. Without a clearly stated mission and objectives, the project will drift, bog down, or continue past an appropriate endpoint. Careful planning and a clear purpose are the keys to success in building web sites, particularly when you are working as part of a development team. Planning a web site is a two-part process: first you gather your development team, analyze your needs and goals, and work through the development process outlined here to refine your plans. Next you create a project charter document that details what you intend to do and why, what technology and content you'll need, how long the process will take, what you will spend to do it, and how you will assess the results of your efforts. The project charter document is crucial to creating a successful site: it is both the blueprint for your process and the touchstone you'll use to keep the project focused on the agreed-on goals and deliverables. The strategic importance and project budget for your web efforts will largely determine the size and skill depth of your web site development team. Even for a smaller project, however, you'll need to cover the core team disciplines. In most small to medium projects one person may handle multiple tasks or someone with specialized expertise (graphic design, for instance) is hired for specific assignments. Many managers who are assigned the responsibility of creating a web site don't have the luxury of picking specialist team members. Inventory the skills and aptitudes in the team you assemble, and consider careful outsourcing to supply any expertise your team lacks. The core skill sets needed in a web site development team are: Strategy and planning • Project management • Information architecture and user interface design • ChaPTEr 1 2 Graphic design for the web • Web technology • Site production • In larger web projects each role may be filled by a separate person, although in more specialized skill areas those contributors are not likely to be full-time team members for the duration of the project. WEb TEam rOlES anD rESPOnSibiliTiES Core web team roles and extended secondary team roles in larger web projects are: Project stakeholder or sponsor • Web project manager • Account executive • Quality assurance tester • Usability lead • Information architect • Art director • Web graphic designer …
Four Practical Lessons Learned from Multidisciplinary Projects
Authors: E. Dineva; T. Zill; U. Knodt; B. Nagel
Year: 2014

In this study we perform extended Lessons Learned interviews concerning collaboration in multidisciplinary engineering projects at DLR, the German Aerospace Center. Interviews are held with all available members out of several project teams. The success of a project is evaluated against a) standard Lessons Learned scales (as used in Project Management, PM) and b) the perceived satisfaction of the interviewees. Furthermore, we inquire about the nature of collaboration and individual experiences. From the interviews we could identify the influence of four main factors: i) organizational structure; ii) organizational practice; iii) leadership and iv) continuity. The above factors cannot be captured with standard PM methods. These rather need to be ``discovered anew'' by project managers. The goal of our investigation is to let the practice of good ``real live'' project management flow into future projects and into education.

Numerous reasons for project delays from the viewpoints of the client and the contractor have only been somewhat studied. The aim of this paper is to recognize the delays' underlying causes and issues ways to reduce them considering the progress of the project. Consequently, 106 contractor-side experts and 82 client-side experts in project management were the subjects of this study. The clients and contractors gave the same importance to factors like poor communications and governmental approvals in projects that were successful (had a time delay of less than 10%). Similar mitigating techniques including rigorous project monitoring, skill development training, and effective logistics planning were advised. When projects were unsuccessful (with a time delay of more than 10%), they displayed a wide range of behaviours.
How to Utilize my App Reviews? A Novel Topics Extraction Machine Learning Schema for Strategic Business Purposes
Authors: I. Triantafyllou; Ioannis C. Drivas; G. Giannakopoulos
Year: 2020

Acquiring knowledge about users’ opinion and what they say regarding specific features within an app, constitutes a solid steppingstone for understanding their needs and concerns. App review utilization helps project management teams to identify threads and opportunities for app software maintenance, optimization and strategic marketing purposes. Nevertheless, app user review classification for identifying valuable gems of information for app software improvement, is a complex and multidimensional issue. It requires foresight and multiple combinations of sophisticated text pre-processing, feature extraction and machine learning methods to efficiently classify app reviews into specific topics. Against this backdrop, we propose a novel feature engineering classification schema that is capable to identify more efficiently and earlier terms-words within reviews that could be classified into specific topics. For this reason, we present a novel feature extraction method, the DEVMAX.DF combined with different machine learning algorithms to propose a solution in app review classification problems. One step further, a simulation of a real case scenario takes place to validate the effectiveness of the proposed classification schema into different apps. After multiple experiments, results indicate that the proposed schema outperforms other term extraction methods such as TF.IDF and χ2 to classify app reviews into topics. To this end, the paper contributes to the knowledge expansion of research and practitioners with the purpose to reinforce their decision-making process within the realm of app reviews utilization.

Traditionally, research and scientific endeavors have predominantly involved graduate students, often sidelining participation of undergraduate students. However, integrating under-graduate students into leading cutting-edge projects significantly enhances their academic experience and professional growth. This manuscript delves into the case study of Conscious Technologies, an innovative research group comprising the Campus City initiative and the IUCRC International BRAIN Affiliate Site at Tecnologico de Monterrey. The group's focus encompasses smart city solutions, computer vision, robotic operating systems, neuroengineering, biometry, and biomechanics, all powered by artificial intelligence. The group efficiently manages a diverse array of projects by employing methodologies such as agile project management and a progressive-phased research approach, which leads to beneficial outcomes for all stakeholders. Undergraduate students gain hands-on experience, increasing their prospects for admission into prestigious graduate programs abroad, while at the same time, research professors expand their international presence through impactful publications. High research output gradually fosters collaboration, including exchanges and stays abroad, further catalyzing the centre's growth. By tackling real-world challenges within a well-structured framework, supplemented with intrinsic and extrinsic rewards and regular meetings, students enjoy autonomy within guided projects, culminating in the publication of 26 scientific works over a span of three years.
Agile in crisis: unveiling perceptions and advantages of agile management in organizations in times of COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Bruno Luiz Bucci Bandeira; João Pinheiro De Barros Neto
Year: 2024

In March 2020, the WHO (World Health Organization) declared that the world is experiencing a pandemic of the new coronavirus, which means that an epidemic that used to be localized only in a specific location has spread to several countries and continents, exacerbating the scenario of changes and uncertainties in the business environment. Moreover, with the exponential advancement of technology and the dynamism of the market, companies need to adapt ever more quickly to changes and trends to remain innovative and competitive and offer better experiences to consumers. In this context, this study sought to find out whether, during the pandemic, organizations have used agile project management to adapt to the rapid changes in market demands caused by the COVID-19 quarantine. To this end, an exploratory survey was used to gather information and perceptions from professionals working in companies during the pandemic. The study concluded that companies that had been using agile project management for less than a year, or that started using it during the quarantine, performed well, but were at a competitive disadvantage compared to companies that had been using agile methodologies for a longer period of time. It is recommended that companies that are having to overcome challenges adopt agile project management, ensuring better customer satisfaction, greater competitiveness and more efficient internal processes. As limitations of the research, firstly, due to lack of time, the survey had fifty responses and could have been more exhaustive, with a statistical sample. To overcome these limitations, it is proposed to carry out new surveys after the quarantine period, in order to be able to analyze the data statistically.

Being Scrum the agile software development framework most commonly used in the software industry, its applicability is attracting great attention to the academia. That is why this topic is quite often included in computer science and related university programs. In this article, we present a course design of a Software Engineering course where an educational framework and an open-source agile project management tool were used to develop real-life projects by undergraduate students. During the course, continuous guidance was given by the teaching staff to facilitate the students' learning of Scrum. Results indicate that students find it easy to use the open-source tool and helpful to apply Scrum to a real-life project. However, the unavailability of the client and conflicts among the team members have negative impact on the realization of projects. The guidance given to students along the course helped identify five common issues faced by students through the learning process.

Authors: Al Ya'qoubi Balqees Eid Hamood; S. Thiruchelvam
Year: 2023

Most projects fail due to information overload. However, the project management information system (PMIS) and other technological support help the project managers (PM) make better decisions. This study looks at the issues of overloaded project information in Omani construction companies that the project managers must deal with. The study was based on quantitative data. The data is based on a survey through a structured questionnaire adopted from previous studies. The target population was the project managers (PMs) leading different construction companies in Oman, and about 296 PMs were approached. Two-stage sampling approach was adopted to collect the data and use SPSS software to analyse the data. The findings indicated that project managers can benefit from using a project management information system (PMIS), and project information overload had no adverse effects. The information system for project management favourably influences decisions. This research benefits project managers, especially those handling complex construction projects.   Multiple factors affect the decision-making process in construction companies; therefore, the research recommends exploring the contextual factors regarding the construction industry in Oman and assessing their impact on decision-making processes and project performance.

Year: 2024

Road infrastructure plays a crucial role in the development of countries, significantly influencing economic growth, social progress, and environmental sustainability. Major infrastructure projects are frequently challenged by substantial risks and uncertainties, leading to delays, budget overruns, and compromised quality. These issues can undermine the economic viability and efficiency of projects, making effective risk management essential for minimizing negative impacts and ensuring project success. For these reasons, a study was conducted using a Sugeno fuzzy logic system applied to completed projects. The resulting model is based on 10 project characteristics and provides highly accurate predictions for Extension of Time (EoT) and Increasing Contract Price (ICP). By utilizing this model, project management can be significantly improved through more accurate forecasting of potential delays and cost overruns. The high precision of the Sugeno fuzzy logic system enables better risk assessment and proactive decision-making, allowing project managers to implement targeted strategies to mitigate risks and optimize project outcomes.
