Analysis of software tools for model-based Generic Systems Engineering for organizations based on e-DeCoDe
Authors: Marian Mistler; N. Schlueter; M. Löwer
Year: 2021

To enable Systems Engineering in interdisciplinary teams adequately, suitable software tools are needed to master the complexity of system modeling within the problemsolving process respectively project management. However, since there are many different approaches for Systems Engineering, this paper considers Generic Systems Engineering (GSE) as a generally valid and proven approach. Furthermore, Systems Engineering can be applied to many different objects. For this purpose, the paper focuses on organization systems. This is due to the fact that the increasingly dynamic markets generate new or changing requirements that affect not only the production and development of technical products, but also the business processes in companies. This implicates, for instance, the infrastructure and the interfaces of business processes, the identification of responsible persons respectively roles, and moreover, the traceability of the information flow between persons and IT systems within the business processes. In order to manage the vast complexity of organizational structures in system modeling, the enhanced Demand Compliant Design (e-DeCoDe) approach is considered as an implicit part of Generic Systems Engineering. Hence, in this paper, we analyze, evaluate, and discuss different software tools and examine their suitability to ensure the model-based development of complex organizational systems using the Generic Systems Engineering and enhanced Demand Compliant Design approach.
Project Management in the Danish Central Government
Authors: K. Löfgren; Birgitte Poulsen
Year: 2013


 
 
While project management (PM) has become an almost constituting element of modern public organisations, empirical research on PM in the civil service, let alone government offices, has been overlooked. In this article, we will on the basis of public organisation recruitment efforts illustrated through a textual analysis of job adverts for the Danish Civil Service, analyse how the individual roles related to project management in civil service organisation from 1982 until 2011 has emerged in terms of the following dimensions: a) the project managerial role, b) required competences for PM, c) whether the role of PM refer to internal or external projects, d) which stages of the policy cycle which are subject to PM, e) and whether we are talking about permanent project management organisations or just temporary projects. These questions are then applied on a minor empirical textual analysis of job adverts in a Danish professional journal in the period of 1982-2011 with the aim of generating a couple of hypotheses. The results of the study shows that project management has permeated throughout the central service, but also that the pro- ject management has become a term used inequitably for describing all forms of work-life in modern bureaucracies. Also, we identify a number of hypotheses for future works. First, project management in the Danish civil service is not a managerial role. Second, by requesting project management competence, the investigated ministries were looking for certain interpersonal skills, and not transferable PM competences. Finally, being a project manager in the Danish civil service means being ready for internal projects, not to work more cross-sectoral with other actors.
Combining Quest-Based Learning Gamification with Agile Project Management in Higher Education
Authors: Jens-Martin Loebel
Year: 2023

This paper presents a novel educational approach that combines quest-based learning gamification with an agile project management practice (Scrum) for teaching higher education courses in diverse disciplines. Integrating game elements into non-gaming contexts through gamification is known to enhance user engagement and learning outcomes, while agile project management, which focuses on iterative development and adaptive planning, improves collaboration and responsiveness. We present two case studies that were conducted at two German universities. In the first study, the methodology was developed to train media science students in computer programming. In the second study, the approach was adapted to business administration students. Both courses resulted in substantial student engagement, knowledge acquisition, and student satisfaction. High course completion rates and bonus quest participation underscored the approach's success. Challenges like time-consuming individualized feedback provision and exam congruence were identified. The adaptability of this approach across disciplines was evident, suggesting its potential for fostering teamwork. Further refinement, guided by best practices, holds promise for scalable implementation and inclusive education in the digital era. This approach bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, optimizing learning outcomes for students across diverse backgrounds.

Multidisciplinary engineering projects present unique challenges due to the diverse expertise, perspectives, and objectives involved. Effective leadership in such settings is crucial to ensuring successful project execution, promoting collaboration, and achieving desired outcomes. This review explores the critical leadership practices that drive success in multidisciplinary engineering projects, focusing on project management methodologies, communication strategies, conflict resolution, and team dynamics. Key leadership traits such as adaptability, emotional intelligence, and decision-making capabilities are identified as essential for managing diverse teams. Furthermore, the role of leaders in fostering innovation and creativity is examined, particularly in managing interdisciplinary collaboration to integrate varying engineering disciplines seamlessly. The review also addresses the impact of leadership on project outcomes, including efficiency, innovation, and stakeholder satisfaction. Practical insights from case studies of successful multidisciplinary projects are provided to highlight leadership strategies that promote effective collaboration and problem-solving. By adopting a systems-thinking approach, leaders can align diverse engineering goals and resources to meet overall project objectives. This review concludes that successful leadership in multidisciplinary engineering projects requires a balance between technical expertise and soft skills, with an emphasis on clear communication, adaptability, and the ability to foster a collaborative work environment. As the complexity of engineering projects continues to increase, the need for strong leadership capable of navigating multidisciplinary challenges becomes even more critical. The findings from this review contribute to a growing body of knowledge on leadership best practices in engineering and offer practical recommendations for managers and leaders seeking to optimize outcomes in multidisciplinary projects.
Strategy optimization and generation for construction project management using an interactive simulation
Authors: Pei Tang; Amlan Mukherjee; Nilufer Onder
Year: 2010

Construction activities are exposed to unpredictable external events and internal dynamic feedbacks of constraints which deviate projects from as-planned duration and costs. In practice, various decisions have been used to minimize the impacts of risks. Learning from experiences is valuable which requires historical data collection and analysis. To avoid the high cost in direct data collection and difficulties in studying single decision impacts, we present an alternative to study and optimize decision strategies. Interactive Construction Decision Making Aid (ICDMA) is an interactive simulator which allows users to implement different decision strategies on the defined projects. All the project information and decision data in the simulation are recorded electronically. We started with five candidate strategies and analyzed data for general patterns. New hybrid strategies were generated based on the data analysis. Reimplementation of new strategies showed improvement in cost and duration management, validating the feasibility of strategy optimization through interactive simulation.

Authors: Fahad S. Altuwaijri; M. Ferrario
Year: 2021

Over the last two decades, Agile software development methodology has garnered significant interest in both software industry and research with several studies investigating the level of awareness, perception and use of Agile in software engineering practice. However, most of these studies have focused on Agile practice in developed countries, with only a handful having been conducted in developing countries, especially in the Middle East. This is problematic given the strategic and economic importance of software industry in countries such as Saudi Arabia. This paper aims to start addressing this research gap with an empirical investigation of the awareness and perceptions of Agile among software practitioners in Saudi Arabia and the extent to which they are adopting Agile methods. To this end, we conduct four semi-structured interviews with expert software practitioners and a survey with 31 respondents, all from the mobile development software industry. Our findings indicate that there it seems to be a low level of awareness and usage of Agile in the country. However, we also find that those who use Agile, are appreciative of its benefits which include project management flexibility, rapid response to change, and a positive effect on team morale and communication.

Authors: Holger Wagner; Oleg Pankratz; Dirk Basten; Werner Mellis
Year: 2014

Today’s enterprises often face heterogeneous application landscapes. Many of those companies struggle with effective and efficient accomplishment of enterprise application integration (EAI), which results in significant time and budget overruns. As regards EAI project management, a major reason for failure is considered to be underestimation of effort. The underestimation has been found to be an aftermath of applying estimation methods that do not account for all relevant factors influencing EAI project effort. We therefore explore factors affecting the effort of such projects in this study. Applying Repertory Grid, we conduct 22 semi-structured expert interviews. 91 factors influencing the effort of EAI projects in nine categories emerge from these interviews. We provide an extensive overview of effort-influencing factors and their classification, which can be used as a checklist in EAI projects. Future research can additionally use our findings as basis for development of more accurate effort estimation models.

The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the emphasis on population health, therefore potentially amplifying demand for healthcare workforce professionals in this area. There is an urgent need to explore and define the roles of health information management (HIM) professionals in the population health workforce. This study sought to identify the skill sets and qualifications needed, and HIM education alignment with skills necessary for HIM professionals entering the population health workforce. An intentionally broad internet search of job postings was conducted to determine skills in population health. Population health-related job descriptions and qualification requirements were abstracted and analyzed using ATLAS.ti. Three common job categories were identified: management, analytics, and coding. Skill set requirements included soft skills, problem solving, project management, research, and data analysis. The study results identified HIM educational alignment and found that HIM professionals are generally a good fit to meet the increased need in the population health workforce.

Risk management is an idea which has become very popular among the researchers. Many firms are often instituting a risk management technique in their projects for refining the performance of the projects. One aspect of risk management is Risk Avoidance. Risk avoidance implies declining to acknowledge the hazard by any means. Projects undertaken in the construction sector are generally complex and often have significant budgets, and thus understanding of the strategies to an employee in reducing the risks associated with these projects should be of importance for the project managers. The general objective of this study was to assess the effect of risk avoidance strategy on the success of construction projects. The target population consisted of 60 employees drawn from Narok county courts, which comprises of Narok Law courts and Kilgoris Law Courts. Data were collected from 45 respondents drawn from employees who took part in the day to day running of the projects in these two courts. The descriptive survey research design was used in this study. Data collected was analyzed and interpreted. The qualitative data was analyzed in field and subfield as per objectives and quantitative data was analyzed using descriptive statistics namely mean, score, percentages and frequent distribution. Inferential statistics that is correlation and regression analysis was used to establish the effect of risk avoidance strategy on the success of construction projects in the Judiciary. The SPSS version 23.0 was used as the tool for data analysis. The   results  showed that majority of the  respondents indicated that there   was  a  weak  correlation  ( r = 0.118) between risk avoidance and project success  which  was not  significant since the P- value  was >  0.05. This showed that though risk avoidance might be an important risk mitigating strategy in project management but its effect on the success of the project is not significant. This implies that there might not be a statistical relation between risk avoidance and the success of a project. Keywords: Risk Avoidance, Construction projects, Success CITATION: Nturanu, J.

Authors: Mary Miombe; J. Kwasira; B. Lango
Year: 2024

Purpose: Project Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) is a critical component of the project management phase, which if not properly handled, may lead to project failure. Currently, Kenya faces transitional challenges from a centralized state to devolved governance system. This has prefigured both challenges and opportunities. The decentralized form of governance has exerted pressure on especially the performance of government water departments in funded water projects in counties. Despite this need most county governments initiate water projects without putting into consideration the importance of having effective M&E frameworks. One aspect that has not been given much consideration is effective implementation of M&E systems as advised by M & E experts. The aim of the study was to analyze the effect of M & E Planning process on performance of county government funded water projects in Kisii County 
Methodology: The study will adopt a descriptive survey design. The study target population includes 201 county water staff managing 90 water projects across the county. The census method was used to research the 201 staff involved in water projects. The primary data was collected by use of questionnaires and Key Informant interviews. Quantitative data was analyzed by employing descriptive statistics and inferential analysis, and the results were presented by tables and figures. Whereas, qualitative data was done through narrative analysis and presented in form of verbatim and narrations. 
Findings: M&E planning enables the construction of a logical framework that acts as a roadmap guiding the project's progress and allowing the stakeholders to understand the relationships between different project elements. The positive effect of M&E planning on project implementation affirms the pivotal role of this planning process in guiding and optimizing the execution of water-funded projects in Kisii County. 
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: This study was anchored in the program theory. Project managers and policymakers should emphasize the importance of these planning components, recognizing them as integral drivers of project success. Furthermore, capacity-building initiatives focusing on these planning aspects can further enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of M&E planning practices.

Unified External Stakeholder Engagement and Requirements Strategy
Authors: Ahmed Abdulaziz Alnhari; Rizwan Qureshi
Year: 2024

Understanding stakeholder needs is essential for project success, as stakeholder importance varies across projects. This study proposes a framework for early stakeholder identification and continuous engagement throughout the project lifecycle. The framework addresses common organizational failures in stakeholder communication that lead to project delays and cancellations. By classifying stakeholders by influence and interest, establishing clear communication channels, and implementing regular feedback loops, the framework ensures effective stakeholder involvement. This approach allows for necessary project adjustments and builds long-term relationships, validated by a survey of IT professionals. Engaging stakeholders strategically at all stages minimizes misunderstandings and project risks, contributing to better project management and lifecycle outcomes.
Compositional Streamline-Based Modeling of Polymer Flooding Including Rheology, Retention, and Salinity Variation
Authors: Francisco Javier Rosado-Vázquez; Fernando Rodríguez-De la Garza; Simón López-Ramírez
Year: 2023

The chemical enhanced oil recovery (CEOR) technology that is most used worldwide is polymer flooding due to its proven commercial success at field scale, maturity, and versatility to combine with other technologies. So, there has been an increasing interest in expanding its applicability to more unfavorable mobility ratio conditions and adverse environments (such as high-temperature, high-salinity carbonate reservoirs, pH-sensitive polymers, and formations with active clays). Therefore, a requirement for successful field application is to find the design parameters of the process that balance material requirements and oil recovery benefits in a cost-effective manner, which is usually done through reservoir modeling. Polymer flooding predictive tools normally require detailed information and are based on time-consuming field reservoir simulations. Thus, for effective project management, a quick and sound tool is needed to screen for polymer flooding applications without giving up key physical–chemical phenomena that govern the oil recovery. In this research, we developed a two-dimensional polymer flooding model based on the streamlines approach. This is an alternative to having a multidimensional practical tool thoroughly representing the physical and chemical behavior of polymer flooding by considering key phenomena such as rheology behavior (shear thinning and shear thickening), salinity variations, permeability reduction, and polymer adsorption. Previously published streamline multidimensional models for polymer flooding lack the integrated modeling of the above-mentioned key phenomena. Additionally, the models to represent rheology and retention phenomena in the proposed tool consider a more complete description than the present streamline-based simulators. For the construction of streamlines, we considered a black oil formulation to estimate the pressure and saturation 2D distribution by applying the implicit in pressure and explicit in saturation method, coupled with an explicit formulation for the 2D composition computation. For saturation-composition along the streamlines, the 1D practical tool incorporated represents the polymer flooding key phenomena. The numerical algorithm used by the streamline-based tool is supported by laboratory experiments for waterflooding in homogenous porous media, analytical results for waterflooding in heterogeneous media, polymer flooding field scale simulation cases, and a CMG-STARS model built as a reference for waterflooding in both media (homogenous and heterogeneous) and for polymer flooding. The practical tool developed contributes to simplifying the upscaling from laboratory observations to field applications with better fitted numerical simulation models and to determining favorable scenarios; thus, it could assist in understanding how key parameters affect oil recovery without performing time-consuming CEOR simulations.
