SPECIFIC INVESTMENTS IN TELECOMMUNICATIONS ON AN INTEGRATED BASIS: NEW APPROACHES TO DECISION-MAKING AND INVESTMENT PROJECT MANAGEMENT IN THE INDUSTRY
Authors: Serhii Kolesnychenko
Year: 2024

The article is written by a manager in the field of telecommunications, who through the prism of his own management experience analyzes the investor's approaches to decision-making and offers the latest methods of optimizing the management of an investment project for a telecommunications enterprise by setting tasks for the marketing, product, sales divisions and the financial management division. During the preparation of the article, in-depth interviews were conducted and real investors in telecommunications companies were interviewed, they determined important and unimportant factors that an investor takes into account when starting an investment process, and also investors determined ways of setting tasks for each of the divisions in the company to follow and execute the investment plan. The article examines the principles and process of managing the investment activities of a telecommunications enterprise. An analysis of investment opportunities in the telecommunications industry was carried out. The necessity of investment for the development of telecommunications is substantiated, and the article outlines the ways of increasing the investment attractiveness of the industry for investors. The author identified actors determining the dynamics of investments in the telecommunications industry: social and political stability, rules for investors, economic and investment risks, etc. It was found that investment risks are assessed from the point of view of the probability of loss of investments and income. To make investment decisions in the conditions of a difficult forecasted economic environment, the main measures are proposed, the implementation of which will contribute to the growth of investments in telecommunications. Practical data confirm the expediency of the application of measures. The author defines the prerequisites for the investor's desire to invest, the connection of these prerequisites with the global processes taking place in the country's economy, the role of each of the company's divisions at each of the stages of the company's development, from the beginning of the implementation of the investment plan to the investor's exit from the business.
How Project-management-tools are used in Agile Practice: Benefits, Drawbacks and Potentials
Authors: Florian Raith; Ingo Richter; Robert Lindermeier
Year: 2017

The use of agile methodologies is quite common in distributed software development. To facilitate sharing of project relevant information across distributed agile teams, project-management-tools (e.g. Jira, Youtrack) are commonly used. Literature and practice show drawbacks in teamwork and communication when those mainly browser-based tools are used instead of traditional paper-based media. Improvements in this area are possible if we acquire knowledge of how these tools are used in practice and what problems or challenges need to be addressed in the future. Therefore we conducted an exploratory semi-structured interview study investigating in what manner common project-management-tools are used in the particular phases and meetings of an agile development process. We have interviewed five experienced agile coaches that guided projects with different constellations regarding the number of involved agile teams and their locations. As a first result we summarized and structured our findings according to all steps of an agile process in the form of textual descriptions and diagrams. Thereby we focused on the combined usage of digitial project-management-tools and traditional paper-based media. As a second outcome we listed benefits, drawbacks and potential improvements of digital project-management-tools in agile software development from the interviewees' points of view.

Year: 2013

Web applications and particularly Web based Information Systems are very popular due to several reasons. The main reason is the ability to update and maintain them without distributing and installing software on thousand of client computers. This paper describes the main stages of the development process and mainly requirement analysis and database design. Such kind of system will provide students with the opportunity to choose among more projects, to work with different specialists in other conditions, in international teams, in different environments and to have more opportunities for their future professional realization.
A Study on Method of Measuring Performance for Project Management
Authors: Shinji Mochida
Year: 2013

Efficient project management is necessary to solve the various problems associated with the completion of a project. Measuring the project's progress and performance accurately is very important for managing projects and for detecting the factors limiting completion of the project. We have investigated the work performance at the beginning of the each work on the project. As a result, it has become clear that work performance at the start of the work is not 100% efficient, as can be seen in a performance S-curve. This suggests that the project could be completed more quickly if work performance could be raised at the beginning of the work. In this study we attempt to raise the work performance when the project is initiated. We have constructed a trial system for collecting knowledge and distributing the knowledge to the staff, based on information about faults or defects on past projects and important information about the project being undertaken. By providing appropriate knowledge and applying critical thinking, project worker productivity levels will be raised and enhanced. As a result, it will be possible to manage multiple projects, even if workers are taking charge of two or more projects and subsystems at the same time.

A design science based evaluation framework for patterns
Authors: S. Petter; D. Khazanchi; John D. Murphy
Year: 2010

Patterns were originally developed in the field of architecture as a mechanism for communicating good solutions to recurring classes of problems. Since then, many researchers and practitioners have created patterns to describe effective solutions to problems associated with disparate areas such as virtual project management, human-computer interaction, software development and engineering, and design science research. We believe that the development of patterns is a design science activity in which an artifact (i.e., a pattern) is created to communicate about and improve upon the current state-of-practice. Design science research has two critical components, creation and evaluation of an artifact. While many patterns have been created, few, if any, have been evaluated in this sense. In this paper, we propose a framework to evaluate patterns in any domain and provide examples of how to use the evaluation framework. This process of evaluation could help researchers refine extant patterns and improve the possibility of creating sustainable best practices for a given domain. We believe this evaluation framework begins an important dialogue related to the evaluation of patterns as artifacts of design science research. We draw upon the literature associated with patterns, evaluation of design science research, and research methods to develop this framework for evaluating patterns in a more consistent and rigorous manner.
Protecting American Soldiers: The Development, Testing, and Fielding of the Enhanced Combat Helmet (Ech)
Authors: Robert F. Mortlock
Year: 2018

The development, testing, and fielding of combat helmets for United States (U. S.) soldiers offers project management practitioners an opportunity to analyze how programs begin, how they progress through development and testing, and finally how new capability is fielded within the U.S. Defense Acquisition institution. The case study centers on the U.S. Army’s adoption of the Enhanced Combat Helmet (ECH) for soldiers stationed in war zones around the world. The case study is applicable broadly to project managers, business managers, engineers, testers, and logicians involved in project management within the private sector, as well as specifically targeting acquisition professionals within the government defense departments. Emphasis is placed on the development of critical thinking and analysis skills in the areas of project initiation, stakeholder management, and decision making with ambiguous and contradicting testing/field data. The ECH case is in two distinct parts: Part One allows project management practitioners to analyze how to initiate a program with an increased chance of success of meeting desired objectives. Part Two allows project management practitioners to analyze how to determine a procurement and fielding recommendation without stakeholder consensus and with ambiguous data.
An Exploration of Project Approaches for International Development Projects
Authors: Zareen Tasnim Lazima; Sharon Coyle
Year: 2019

The purpose of this study is to explore different project management approaches used in International Development (ID) projects. The study’s findings reveal several ID-specific project management approaches applied in practice. Whilst some of these have not been well-documented in literature (e.g. the Collaborating, Learning and Adapting Approach [CLA] and Capacity Works), others are well researched (e.g. Project Cycle Management, Result-Based Management, and Project Management for Development Professionals). Surprisingly, while Project Management for Development appears extensively in literature, our research sample reveals its non-use in practice. Reasons for its non-use in our sample remain uncovered however, the study shows the significant power and influence that Donors have on which project management approaches are applied in ID projects as they develop new approaches which are improved upon whilst ID projects are running.

Year: 2024

International interventional projects exert great impact on the target countries. This study appraises the World Bank’s healthcare system improvement project in the Republic of Montenegro. From the perspective of international project management appraisal of an overseas project, the study makes a systematic thematic review and a critical objective exposition of the Bank’s publication on the project, drawing evidential insights from professional and experiential knowledge and methods. It also relied on relevant secondary data, sourced from the internet and several offline libraries. Based on the nature of the study, descriptive survey and qualitative analysis are employed alongside suitable analytic techniques. The analysis demonstrates that regardless of the inherent country-based challenges that confronted the project, its overall impact is huge and the attained success is satisfactory, though not very satisfactory. It concludes that the project has significantly and sustainably changed the narratives of the erstwhile healthcare system of Montenegro, as operations, practices and access to healthcare services in Montenegro got improved till date. The study calls on World Bank and other like institutions to do more for developing nations in dire needs of lifesaving projects. They are charged to have post-project completion monitoring mechanisms and programs that allow for sustenance and maintenance of the projects, such as that on healthcare system improvement in Montenegro.
Working with Families of Patients within an Adult Mental Health Service: Development of a Programme Model
Authors: Y. Mottaghipour; L. Woodland; Annemaree Bickerton; G. Sara
Year: 2006

Objective: In order to implement and sustain family intervention programmes in clinical settings, there is a need for an organizational change within routine clinical practice. The objective of this paper is to outline the idea behind the development of a programme for working with families of patients within an adult mental health service. Methods: Capacity building, project management and action research frameworks were the three theoretical frameworks used to inform the implementation of the programme within the mental health service. Extensive literature in the area of working with families informed the programme's content. Sutherland Mental Health Service in New South Wales is used as a model to show that organizational changes are needed to implement a ‘family friendly’ service. Results: The programme included two main components: (i) a service development component, (ii) a family engagement and support component. Description of the programme plan has been based on key objectives, strategies and activities for implementation at the service delivery level. Individual activities within the programme have achieved their goals. The rate of family contact within the service has doubled. Conclusions: Issues regarding the effectiveness of such a programme, its limitations, as well as the nature of examining and evaluating such work were discussed. Becoming more ‘family friendly’ is a realistic goal for adult mental health services.

Authors: Giani Petri; C. V. Wangenheim; J. Hauck; A. Borgatto
Year: 2019

Software Project Management (SPM) is considered important to ensure that software projects are delivered with success, with respect to project scope, time, cost and quality requirements. However, teaching SPM remains a challenging issue. In this context, educational games have been used in order to provide more practical opportunities in SPM education. Yet, there is a lack of studies with more rigorous research design in order to analyse the real effectiveness of such games. The objective of this study is to analyse the effectiveness of educational games with respect to the students’ experience and learning in SPM education. An experimental study is conducted in two SPM courses, involving an experimental group, adopting games; and a control group, using traditional exercises. The results indicate that games provide a positive contribution to the students’ perceived learning, as well as provide an engaging experience, mainly in terms of challenge, social interaction, fun and focused attention. Yet, no indication that the games provide a better learning effect than exercises could be identified, although the results show an increase in the students’ performance over time playing the games. Results of this study may assist instructors to select such games and contribute to their adoption for SPM education.
Supply-Blockchain Functional Prototype for Optimizing Port Operations Using Hyperledger Fabric
Authors: B. Alkhaldi; A. Al-Omary
Year: 2024

Supply chain bottlenecks in port operations lead to significant delays and inefficiencies. Blockchain technology emerges as a viable solution, offering tamper-resistant ledgers, secure transactions, and automation capabilities. While considerable research on developing blockchain-based solutions currently exist, there is a lack of studies that specifically focus on optimizing port document management to speed up supply chain operations. In this paper, a supply-blockchain functional prototype for optimizing port operations using Hyperledger Fabric is introduced. In terms of core functionality, the prototype allows initiation of smart contract corresponding to functions such as creating and editing port-related documents, minimizing manual interventions and enhancing efficiency to reduce port congestion. Furthermore, it provides live tracking of completed events and transactions, facilitating transparency and streamlined oversight. The permissioned nature of Hyperledger Fabric ensures security and robust access controls, aligning well with sensitive port operations. Hyperledger Firefly and its connector framework was used as the middleware to facilitate blockchain integration and various functions of the prototype, while chaincode developed using Go language was used to package and deploy smart contracts. The supply-blockchain framework was used as the theoretical framework for prototype development, and agile project management was adopted to ensure timely completion. The results based on functional and performance testing demonstrate the prototype’s potential in alleviating port documentation bottlenecks and quickly delivering benefits to key stakeholders.
PROMETHEE-based ranking of project managers based on the five personality traits
Authors: Georgios N. Aretoulis; J. Papathanasiou; F. Antoniou
Year: 2019


Purpose
This paper aims to rank and identify the most efficient project managers (PMs) based on personality traits, using Preference Ranking Organization METHod for Enrichment Evaluations (PROMETHEE) methodology.


Design/methodology/approach
The proposed methodology relies on the five personality traits. These were used as the selection criteria. A questionnaire survey among 82 experienced engineers was used to estimate the required weights per personality trait. A second two-part questionnaire survey aimed at recording the PMs profile and assess the performance of personality traits per PM. PMs with the most years of experience are selected to be ranked through Visual PROMETHEE.


Findings
The findings suggest that a competent PM is the one that scores low on the “Neuroticism” trait and high especially on the “Conscientiousness” trait.


Research limitations/implications
The research applied a psychometric test specifically designed for Greek people. Furthermore, the proposed methodology is based on the personality characteristics to rank the PMs and does not consider the technical skills. Furthermore, the type of project is not considered in the process of ranking PMs.


Practical implications
The findings could contribute in the selection of the best PM that maximizes the project team’s performance.


Social implications
Improved project team communication and collaboration leading to improved project performance through better communication and collaboration. This is an additional benefit for the society, especially in the delivery of public infrastructure projects. A lot of public infrastructure projects deviate largely as far as cost and schedule is concerned and this is an additional burden for public and society. Proper project management through efficient PMs would save people’s money and time.


Originality/value
Identification of the best PMbased on a combination of multicriteria decision-making and psychometric tests, which focus on personality traits.
Reality of additive project realization
Authors: Przemysław Pawlak; Zbysław Dobrowolski
Year: 2023

Purpose: This study aims to formulate an additive project monitoring conceptual framework in which non-financial indicators help achieve sustainable resource use. Realizing this purpose, the paper aims to deepen the additive economy's theoretical issues by analyzing its essential component, additive project management. Study design/methodology/approach: The study is based on qualitative research, including the self-observation of the realization of fourteen finished social projects, fueled by a systematic literature study on project management. Findings: Based on an analysis of the 14 realized projects, a broader look at the issue of monitoring is proposed than in the traditional process described in most project implementation methodologies, including Project Cycle Management. This study perceives monitoring as a broader issue aimed at ensuring procedures for the correctness of project implementation in all critical aspects of project management. Originality/value: The primary theme important for theory and practice emerges from this research. Although this study is based on analyzing 14 projects' realizations, there are research limitations. Future studies should focus on a broader analysis of project participants' experiences. Besides, the study should explore the project's realization in different sectors and countries, considering that organizational culture affects management practices.
An optimization model for the control of complex turnkey projects in plant engineering
Authors: E. Mueller; R. Riedel; M. Krones; Henrik Vay
Year: 2011

Turnkey plant projects are endeavors which are characterized by high complexity and system dynamics. The application of special methods and models in the project management processes of planning and monitoring & controlling has become a competitive advantage in turnkey plant business. Special attention has to be given to the identification and evaluation of changes and disturbances as those could have severe impacts on the project`s objectives. The selection and implementation of proper control measures becomes crucial to ensure successful projects. In this paper a novel approach for modeling the interdependencies of engineering activities is presented. The approach particularly addresses planning information and changes that will limit the effects of control measures in the case of possible delays. The modeling approach offers decision support by providing a holistic basis for the evaluation of changes.
