Interdicting a Nuclear-Weapons Project
Authors: Gerald G. Brown; M. Carlyle; R. Harney; Eric M. Skroch; Kevin Wood
Year: 2009

A “proliferator” seeks to complete a first small batch of fission weapons as quickly as possible, whereas an “interdictor” wishes to delay that completion for as long as possible. We develop and solve a max-min model that identifies resource-limited interdiction actions that maximally delay completion time of the proliferator's weapons project, given that the proliferator will observe any such actions and adjust his plans to minimize that time. The model incorporates a detailed project-management (critical path method) submodel, and standard optimization software solves the model in a few minutes on a personal computer. We exploit off-the-shelf project-management software to manage a database, control the optimization, and display results. Using a range of levels for interdiction effort, we analyze a published case study that models three alternate uranium-enrichment technologies. The task of “cascade loading” appears in all technologies and turns out to be an inherent fragility for the proliferator at all levels of interdiction effort. Such insights enable policy makers to quantify the effects of interdiction options at their disposal, be they diplomatic, economic, or military.

Background Staff nurses are pivotal in leading change related to quality improvement efforts, although many lack skills to steer change from the bedside. The American Association of Critical‐Care Nurses (AACN) staff nurse leadership program, Clinical Scene Investigator (CSI) Academy, teaches and empowers staff nurses in leadership skills and change concepts to translate evidence into practice affecting patient outcomes. Objectives To describe the curriculum of the AACN CSI Academy that provides staff nurses with the leadership skills required to create unit‐based change projects that positively impact patient/family outcomes. Methods The curriculum of the Academy included leadership topics, communication, change concepts, quality improvement methods, project management, and data management and analysis. Each team of participants collected project data to show improvements in patient care. The program evaluation used many data sources to assess the program effectiveness, relating to the professional growth of the participant nurses. The participants assessed project patient outcomes, sustainability, and spread. Results The first cohort of CSI participants included 164 direct care nurses from 42 hospitals in 6 cities. They rated the Academy highly in the program evaluation, and they reported that the Academy contributed to their professional development. The individual hospital quality improvement projects resulted in positive patient and estimated fiscal outcomes that were generally sustained 1 year after the program. Conclusion With the skills, tools, and support obtained from participation in the CSI Academy, staff nurses can make substantial contributions to their organizations in clinical and possibly fiscal outcomes.
Measuring Project Management Information Systems Success: Towards a Conceptual Model and Survey Instrument
Authors: M. Kaiser; F. Ahlemann
Year: 2010

Project management information systems (PMIS) are an important building block of efficient and effective project management. They have changed considerably in the last decades, starting as mere scheduling applications and now serving as complex systems covering a wide range of project processes and addressing a multitude of stakeholders. Vendors of PMIS frequently claim that these systems yield numerous benefits on the individual, workgroup and organisational level. To date, however, there is no empirical support for this claim. Also, there is still considerable uncertainty with regard to the factors influencing the success of a project management information system. This paper proposes a model for PMIS success based on the revised IS Success Model by DeLone and McLean (2003). We also suggest an accompanying survey instrument which was extensively validated using qualitative interviews, a Q-sorting/item ranking procedure and a quantitatively evaluated pre-test with 45 participants.

A Study on Software Project Coaching Model Using TSP in Samsung
Authors: Tae-Hee Gwak; Yoonjung Jang
Year: 2007

Reasonable planning for the project, monitoring of the project status, and controlling of the project with appropriate corrective actions are key factors for successful software project management. If the project leader gets helps and supports from an expert who have the know-how of software project management instead of depending on only their own discretion, these activities can be conducted much more effectively. The TSPP(Team Software Process) is a process framework developed to provide guidelines on software development and management activities for teams. Samsung Electronics introduced the PSP/TSP technology to meet visualization and high efficiency needs in software development, in 2003. In this paper, we propose the software project coaching model based on the TSP/PSP experiences to support the project leader and the team members efficiently and analyze the applying results and effects.
Project Management and Learning Environment: A Case Study
Authors: Andrea Molinari
Year: 2021

The paper analyses the addition of project management features of an LMS, a topic that LMSs and collaboration platforms have entirely ignored. Many project management-like platforms are available today, especially riding the media wave of agile methodologies. The question is not surprising in itself, as managing time, costs, and resources linked to the discipline of Project Management, is historically a problematic issue for the IT world from a cultural, technical, and organizational point of view. The problem becomes even more complex if applied to the management of learning projects, where we have time, constraints, deadlines, costs, resources like in any other project. LMSs and, in general, collaboration platforms do not include these features, forcing users to link external platforms or adapt existing features (like simple to-do lists) to more complex Project Management tasks. In this work, we will present the tests conducted in a collaborative platform based on the metaphor of virtual learning communities. These tests were on a component developed explicitly for managing projects, activities, and resources, integrated inside the LMS with all the other services (blog, forum, file sharing, calendar, reminders, etc.). The introduction of this new component within the system addresses the need to manage collaborative activities between learners, providing a tool for managing and controlling the progress of the activities assigned to the various community members. .

Year: 2023

Building information modeling (BIM) is a key approach for the digitization of the sector. Therefore, states worldwide put BIM at the center of their construction digitalization strategies. However, strategies vary significantly, and so does BIM implementation and its adoption over time, thus making the comparison between countries considerably challenging. Therefore, the first part of this article provides a comprehensive review of available publications in the field of BIM adoption at the national and international level. BIM adoption in Slovakia is systematically analyzed based on an anonymous online BIM survey that focuses on various areas of BIM. The focus of the BIM survey was on the assessment of the readiness of experts who work with BIM methodology, their maturity, skillsets, and BIM adoption motivation, along with the means of communication and collaboration using Common Data Environment (CDE). Furthermore, we focused on the project management perspective, which covers the existence and compliance with BIM execution plan (BEP) evaluation. In the concluding part, requirements, barriers, and future developments are discussed in detail. The BIM survey provides an insight in the current state of the art of BIM in the industry that allows for a better understanding of its potential and a more informed development and implementation of BIM strategies. This study is an important contribution to BIM and digitalization benchmarking that provides valuable information to digitalization policy makers at the governmental and business levels.

Authors: Khalid K. Naji; Murat Gunduz; Mohamed Adalbi
Year: 2023

Fast-track construction has recently become the prevailing construction approach globally. It enables owners and developers to make rapid returns on investment through shortened construction periods. This strategy has many effects on the industry; therefore, four groups of factors were studied in this project: (1) financial, (2) logistics and finance, (3) management, and (4) legal. A 22-question survey was distributed to 155 professionals in the construction industry, who evaluated the impact of the stated factors on a 5-point scale. The results revealed a high level of consistency determined through Cronbach’s alpha, and a positive correlation was found by Spearman’s rank coefficient. The Relative Importance Index was used to rank the factors based the evaluation by the professionals, resulting in the following impact ranking: (1) poor communication among design and construction teams, (2) large amounts of rework, (3) low quality of work by the contractor, (4) design errors, (5) late or insufficient payment according to terms agreed with the client, and (6) unavailability of materials in the market. By providing a quantitative RII model to evaluate fast-track project management performance with the use of corresponding performance indicators, this study will benefit industry practitioners and researchers as it identifies the most significant factors that impact fast-tract project management performance.

The construction industry has had to struggle with the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic in all sectors. In this process, effective communication has become more significant. This study is aimed to evaluate the significance of effective communication in the COVID-19 process in the Turkish construction industry. Moreover, the causes of communication problems during the project management process and the communication problems among the project stakeholders were investigated. A survey study was applied and the data suitability to the normal distribution was examined using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. The significance relations between the seven different demographic characteristics of the sample and the answers were determined using the Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis H tests. The relative importance index (RII) method was used to determine the participants' perceptions regarding relative importance. This study contributes to the literature by highlighting the views of architects and engineers on the significance of communication in the construction industry as well as investigating the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic period. This study provides a basis for construction practitioners and scientists who aim to examine the significance of effective communication in the construction industry and the communication problems experienced under the impact of the pandemic. Moreover, it will contribute to the elimination or minimization of communication-related issues.

Designing a Flipped Classroom Course - a Process Model
Authors: Kristin Vogelsang; Alena Droit; Kirsten Liere-Netheler
Year: 2019

Digital learning has become more than just a trend in the modern world. Blended learning concepts are well established in different areas of application. An important concept in this domain is the so-called flipped classroom (FC). This approach repurposes class time to focus on application and discussion, while the acquisition of basic knowledge will happen at home, enabled by online lectures. In the past, research demonstrated and discussed the advantages of flipped classroom concepts within case studies. Still, standardized guidelines for the development of flipped classrooms are rare. However, it is necessary to learn from the past to improve future education. Thus, we analyzed reviews on flipped classroom research and used these to inductively develop a reference process model for the realization of flipped classroom concepts. The model is based on phases taken from project management, which help to structure the process and associated tasks. The results present the process model shown in Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) and applicable checklists for the development of a FC course. The process model was applied and evaluated during the implementation of a flipped classroom at a university. Future research shouldconcentrate on evaluation of the model as well as a deeper elaboration of upcoming roles and their tasks in order to derive further guidance for teachers and organizations.

Teaching Emotional Intelligence to Computer Science students
Authors: E. Marcos; J. M. Vara; V. Bollati; M. Sanz
Year: 2012

In this paper we present an experiment in which a competition is used in an attempt to motivate Emotional Intelligence in Computer Science students studying the subject of Databases. Computing professionals are, on an ever-increasing basis, being requested to acquire emotional skills in addition to, or even before, acquiring technical knowledge. The skills needed to work in a team or to speak in public, to attain leadership capacities or to adapt to change are important requirements in perhaps any job. However, these types of skills, which are characteristic of what is denominated as Emotional Intelligence, become indispensable in the profile of a Computer Engineer. This type of professional will have to work in a group, have to confront the project management, give talks and, which may be the most difficult, keep up to date with a technology whose new advancements will be obsolete in scarcely five years. Nevertheless, and in spite of the importance of this type of skills, Emotional Intelligence continues to be a subject which is pending in Computer Science students' curricula.

Temporal Dimensions of Data Quality in Bird Atlases: the Case of the Second Southern African Bird Atlas Project
Authors: Karis A. Daniel; L. Underhill
Year: 2023

Halting biodiversity loss on land (Sustainable Development Goal [SDG] 15) is an unfolding problem, and as such, requires novel solutions. Citizen science (CS) promises large quantities of data, but introduces the challenge of ensuring these are valuable to conservation research and can inform meaningful action. This paper contributes to this endeavour, examining the impact of systematic as opposed to unstructured fieldwork on the biodiversity monitoring value of data from the Second Southern African Bird Atlas Project (SABAP2). SABAP2 “atlasers” work within a fine-scale grid system to generate avian species checklists that are comprehensive at the time of fieldwork. Though valuable, unstructured fieldwork efforts paint an incomplete picture; effective conservation action requires monitoring—keeping a finger on the pulse of local biodiversity through consistent and systematic data collection. Systematic collection allows for the detection of nuanced biological patterns such as seasonal population trends and movements, rapidly alerting scientists to anomalies and galvanizing swift response. It is, however, a demanding protocol, and implementation requires careful consideration of participant impact and motivations. Here, we used a newly developed approach for measuring temporal data quality to examine the systematic atlasing efforts of a CS community in the Hessequa Atlasing Area, South Africa, assessing the biodiversity monitoring value of structured data collection versus opportunistic checklists. We found that structured data collection increased the temporal resolution of atlas data, and thus its monitoring quality. We discuss challenges in maintaining achievable fieldwork goals for participants, and examine Hessequa’s project structure and participant motivations to provide recommendations for future project management.
