Authors: H. F. Cervone
Year: 2014

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to discuss the factors that can contribute to successful management of these issues by project managers. Frequently, projects involve significant change efforts. To achieve project success, project managers must have the skills and understanding to manage the personnel issues related to change and stress related to change. Design/methodology/approach – By reviewing the definitive literature related to change management, the author provides some criteria for project managers to consider as they foster engagement and manage stress related to change in projects. Findings – There are three primary strategies project managers can use to successfully manage both engagement and stress in projects that involve significant change efforts. Originality/value – While the issues related to change management have been discussed generally, the application of these theories and practices to project management has not been extensively explored in the literature. This article provides...
Towards an Efficient Information Systems Development Process and Management: A Review of Challenges and Proposed Strategies
Authors: Philip Achimugu; Babajide Samuel Afolabi; A. Oluwaranti; Oluwagbemi Oluwatolani; Gambo Ishaya
Year: 2010

Before Information Systems are developed, they must have undergone a process called Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC) using appropriate methodology. The SDLC consists of phases varying from author to author. However, an information systems project can only be successful with intense interaction amongst project manager, systems analyst, system designers and the end users. Viewed from the project manager’s perspective, the SDLC lacks the essence of project management activities. Similarly, end users involvement is not clearly specified. The main aim of this paper is to propose a framework for information systems management and development process which accommodates the views of the different participants. Furthermore, the paper sharpens the concept of conventional SDLC, on the basis of the proposed framework. In addition, tools and methods that are appropriate for the implementation of the framework are herein discussed.
A Case Study of an Outsourcing Decision Project in a Large Public Organization
Authors: B. Johansson; S. Carlsson
Year: 2006

Phases in an outsourcing decision project are presented and critical issues are identified. First, there were different definitions of hosting and these different definitions made it unclear what the project was about and thereby the outcome of the project became unclear. This affected project commitment, project outcome project management, and project costs. Second, there were unclear descriptions of how the hosting was made in the organisation. The study suggests that had there been a clearer and more concise description of what the project was about and how the hosting was made a lot of the difficulties could have been avoided.
Assessment of The Level of Value Assurance for IT Project Stakeholders
Authors: Hiroshi Tanaka; O. Verenych; Ivan Oberemok; Nataliia Oberemok
Year: 2020

. Focusing on stakeholder's values is a key requirement when IT innovative projects are implemented. Stakeholders decide to participate in the IT project, in case that the IT project results are aimed at ensuring their values. By participating in the IT project, the stakeholder knows his resources in exchange for the IT project products that will be created in the course of its implementation. In this case, the value of the resources given by the interested party must be lower than the value of the products it receives. Such an exchange provides the stakeholder with a steady increase in the level of satisfaction and the provision of priority values. As in the course of the project implementation, there is an exchange of stakeholders' resources and products of the IT project to describe them, the general concept of an artifact was introduced. To ensure the complexity of the approach, both material and intangible artifacts were considered. Building an IT project model, the project management team identifies stakeholders who have a sufficient inventory of artifacts to share effectively. Given that a variety of stochastic processes can affect the progress of the IT project, the IT project management team should monitor the level of homeostasis in the project model. Ongoing analysis of the level of satisfaction of project stakeholders ensures that conflict situations are avoided, which can lead to the loss of the stakeholder and the termination of the IT project.

ABSTRACT
RESOURCE-ORIENTED APPROACH TO THE FORMULATION OF COMPANY STRATEGY
Authors: Yuliya Prykhno
Year: 2023

A feature of the modern period is the change in the conditions of economic activity, the turbulence of the environment, the rapid variability of economic conditions in the production of goods and services. These changes affect the financial and economic situation of companies, and, as a result, force them to use theoretical and practical experience of project management. The conditions and principles of orga-nizations’ functioning depend on the company's strategy. Also, strategy determines the results of companies’ activities and its competitiveness on the market. Low level of project management methodology implementation in companies’ development leads to irrational using of resources and reducing its efficiency. Currently, Ukrainian companies are forced to make certain adjustments to their development strategies, operating under the pressure of constantly changing external conditions. The success of each enterprise is determined by how adequately, quickly and effectively it is able to adapt to changing conditions and to a turbulent environment.As world experience shows, in a period of crisis the only way to normalization is the creation of project-managed organizations, because in the conditions of competition and a dynamic environment, the enterprises’ management must focus attention not only on current problems. Every company has to develop a strategic line of behavior. As practice shows, it is impossible without project management methodology application.Especially today, in Ukraine, when we have a very hard market situation, strategic line of behavior should be based on a resource-oriented approach and project manage-ment methodology. This kind of approach plays a huge role in the structure of market relations and in the mechanism of its regulation. And such a strategy that is based on principles of project management is an integral part of the organization's activity, which aim is to achieve profit with optimal use of available resources. So, in this hard for Ukraine time, in these conditions, the managers of organiza-tions need serious methodical assistance in making managerial decisions and, above all, in choosing the strategic directions of the organization's activities, taking into account all the features of the economic, administrative, and regulatory environment in which the organization operates.Keywords:project management, strategy, resources, competitiveness, strategic directions, efficiency, resource-oriented approach.

Authors: F. Gunawan; E. K. Budiardjo
Year: 2021

A good software process improves software products. In the case of a small software company, software development is a matter of survivability due to its limited resources to develop software. XYZ Company is a very small software company that adopted Kanban and DevOps and faced software delivery delays. It is necessary to recommend the software process improvements to solve this problem. Software process improvements are the outcomes of measurement and analysis of maturity levels using the ISO 29110 framework in a qualitative study. They are then analyzed using the Lean Six Sigma tools, namely gap analysis, root cause analysis, and Pareto analysis. Delphi method validated them and resulted in 18 improvement recommendations within four domains, namely (a) product, (b) people, (c) technology, and (d) process. The improvements span across two main processes within software development, namely (a) Project Management (PM) and (b) Software Implementation (SI). The XYZ Company or any agile-based software company could adopt the 18 improvement recommendations to enhance the software process and quality.

Authors: O. Makinde; Chioma F Ezomike; H. Lehmann; Iko Ibanga
Year: 2011

Objective:To share our experience on how we used simple but detailed processes and deployed a management information system on a new HIV counseling and testing (HCT) project in Nigeria. Design:The procedures used in this study were adopted for their strength in identifying areas of continuous improvement as the project was implemented. Methods:We used an iterative brainstorming technique among 30 participants (volunteer counselors and project management staff) as well as iterative quality audits to identify several limitations to the success of the project and to propose solutions. We then implemented the solutions and reevaluated for performance. Findings from the evaluations were then reintroduced into the brainstorming and planning sessions. Results:Several limitations were identified with the most prominent being the poor documentation of records at the site and the lack of a document transfer trail for audit purposes. Conclusion:Communication, cohesion and team focus are necessary to achieve success on any new project. Institutionalizing routine HIV behavioral surveillance using data collected at HCT will help in streamlining interventions that will be evidence-based.

Experiences with Lessons Learned Method in it Projects
Authors: Rita Stampfl; Julian Fischer; Silke Palkovits-Rauter
Year: 2023

The project manager plays a central role in project integration and successful project completion. Leadership skills, especially knowledge-based leadership skills, are critical to project success as they enable the effective creation, sharing and use of knowledge. Project managers’ social cognitive, interpersonal and strategic skills contribute to effective knowledge sharing. The Lessons Learned method is generally recommended for knowledge transfer in projects, but its effectiveness and implementation are controversial. The aim of this study is to investigate project managers’ experiences with the Lessons Learned method in IT project management. The focus is on how these experiences influence knowledge transfer in IT projects. A qualitative research design was used to gain insight into the experiences of project managers. Eleven experts responsible for IT projects were interviewed in guideline-based expert interviews. The collected data was analysed using content structuring qualitative content analysis. The study found that project managers are responsible for knowledge transfer, but often do not perceive this task. Different perceptions of knowledge transfer methods were observed between traditional and agile training. The Lessons Learned approach showed unsatisfactory results and project managers defined their own methods. To improve knowledge transfer, project management standards should include clear tasks and support decision making. Generic models need to be integrated in the project management standards to ensure consistent approaches in practice.
Planning Software Project Success with Semi-Quantitative Reasoning
Authors: He Zhang; B. Kitchenham; R. Jeffery
Year: 2007

Software process modeling and simulation hold out the promise of improving project planning and control. However, purely quantitative approaches require a very detailed understanding of the software project and process, including reliable and precise project data. Contemporary project management defines the success of project as a box or hyper-cube, rather than the traditional single point, which allows the planning for software project success semi-quantitatively with uncertainty-tolerance. This paper introduces semi-quantitative reasoning into software project planning and develops a practical approach to enhance the confidence of project success under the uncertainty and contingency. We illustrate its value and flexibility by a simplified software process model focusing on staffing issues.
Investigating the Suitability of Web X.Y Features for Software Engineering - Towards an Empirical Survey
Authors: Eric Ras; Jörg Rech; Sebastian Weber
Year: 2009

Today, software engineers strongly rely on information while they perform development activities in the different software engineering (SE) phases. The results of a previous survey showed that most information is required during the phases of requirements engineering (RE), design, programming, and project management. Web X.Y features (i.e., concepts and technologies) facilitate collaboration and communication with distributed individuals and help to cope with the immense amount of information by simplifying the organization, integration, and reuse of information scattered across diverse content sources. After presenting the features of the different Web X.Y generations (i.e., Web 2.0, Web 2.5, and Web 3.0), we propose a weighted mapping for the relevancy of these Web X.Y features regarding their support for the four SE phases with the highest need for information. Based on this subjective mapping, a set of research questions and hypotheses is derived that form the basis of an empirical survey. The goal of this survey is to investigate the potential of Web X.Y features for SE.
An Empirical Study of Delays in Large Engineering Projects: An Indian Experience
Authors: R. Jayaraman
Year: 2021

This article analyzes factors responsible for delays in two large projects undertaken by an Indian organization over a period of 7 years. The research work critically examines the reasons for delays using questionnaires in four core areas of project work. An in depth analysis has identified 10 factors, which cause delays, viz., inept project planning practices, inadequate and inexperienced consultant personnel, recurring stakeholders interactions, incomplete understanding of the client’s requirements, unfamiliarity with documentation needs in the client country, subsequent client and inspection agency-driven change requirements, incomplete preparation at the hook-up yard, and delays in vendor mobilization/inadequate vendor expertise. The original contribution of this research is in the areas of analyzing and understanding delays due to doing work in offshore locations, doing project management work using documents in offshore country language, understanding offshore country laws and regulations, in-depth understanding of the root causes of delays using detailed, segmented questionnaires and analysis of the sequential nature of project management work.
IMPACT OF PROJECT PLANNING PRACTICES ON THE PERFORMANCE OF CONSTRUCTION FIRMS IN UGANDA: A CASE STUDY OF MASAKA CITY, UGANDA
Authors: Kasibante Alex
Year: 2023

Construction is a complex activity as it contains several inputs to achieve the desired objective. Efficient project plan practices have a significant impact on the performance of construction companies. Several companies engage in construction activity with little or no planning. This study investigated project planning practices among the construction firms in Masaka City, Uganda with a view to understanding their performances. Qualitative and quantitative techniques in a cross-sectional approach were used in this study. Data was collected from professionals working in 20 construction firms in the city making a total of 175 participants. Using questionnaires and interview guides. The data collected were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics with the aid of SPSS software. Three project planning practices were considered: Safety and Resource Planning (SRP), Equipment and Material Usage Planning (EMU), and Work Scheduled and Time Planning. The results showed that none of the companies fully complied with the requirement planning practices, which led to material wastage and delays in project delivery. The regression model formulated has a coefficient of determination of 77.45%, indicating that the model has the capacity to predict about 78% of the performances of construction firms. The study concluded that the poor performance of the firms is influenced by the lack of planning practices. It is therefore recommended that strict conformance and enforcement of the project management principles throughout the lifecycle of the project should be given more attention.
Understanding the Meaning of Loneliness and Social Engagement for the Workings of a Social Network Intervention Connecting People to Resources and Valued Activities
Authors: Rebecca Band; Anne Rogers
Year: 2024

ABSTRACT Background Addressing loneliness, which is associated with poor mental and physical health, implicates the need for connectivity to a broad set of situated relationships and activities in the contexts of people's everyday lives. Social engagement has been identified as a relevant psychosocial mechanism mediating health and wellness and is central to addressing loneliness. The aim here is to explore the way in which people identified as lonely conceptualise their experiences of loneliness and social engagement for the purposes of incorporating these into the design and workings of an intervention that allows people to map their social networks and connect them to community‐based valued activities. Methods Semi‐structured qualitative interviews were undertaken with 20 participants, aged 21–82 years old (mean age 59.7) nested within a pragmatic, community‐based randomised controlled trial in the north and south of England. Participants had wide‐ranging social network sizes (from 1 to 10 individuals) and reported variable impact of loneliness on their lives. Results Loneliness consisted as an absence of intimacy in the face of being surrounded by others, a sense of entrapment and boredom, lacking access to meaningful activities and difficulties in relating to others. The analysis highlighted the role that important relationships have in mediating loneliness. Individual readiness, skills and confidence in forming new connections and engaging with new activities are important barriers that exist in overcoming loneliness. For many, wider socio‐political factors, such as transport provision, availability of resources and costs associated with social engagement are also important barriers which are difficult to overcome. Implications Exploring the link between feelings, experiences and meaning of loneliness and the way in which a network intervention can be incorporated offers a focus for mediating the richness and opportunities that arise from locality‐based connections and collective activities in the broader social environment. However, any intervention seeking to address loneliness requires a further focus on both individual and relational factors which might contribute to addressing loneliness and increasing a sense of wellness. Patient or Public Contribution The study team worked closely with community partner organisations in all aspects of this research, including, the submission of the funding proposal, development of the study protocol and procedures, recruitment, intervention deployment and assessment of implementation. PPI representatives provided advice on participant materials and interview schedules, and project management throughout and contributed to management and steering committee meetings.
