Rethinking Information Systems Projects Using Actor‐Network Theory: A Case of Malawi
Authors: Flora Mpazanje; K. Sewchurran; I. Brown
Year: 2013

Organisations invest heavily in Information Systems (IS) projects in the hope of realising business benefits. Yet reports persist of IS projects that all too often fail. Efforts to rescue the situation have so far yielded unsatisfactory results. A number of calls have hence been made to rethink and deepen understanding of IS project management practice. The purpose of this study is to contribute towards this rethink by exploring and describing the as‐lived experiences of stakeholders in IS projects. A case study approach was adopted wherein in‐depth analysis was carried out on an IS project executed in Malawi. Using a developing country such as Malawi as empirical source is novel, as much of the research on IS project management emanates from the developed world. Yet IS project failure is endemic in all contexts. Data was collected and analysed qualitatively using Actor‐Network Theory (ANT) as the lens of enquiry. Key findings were that (1) starting up an IS project is neither simple nor straightforward; it is lengthy and winding; (2) project objectives need not be “cast in stone”, as they may be subject to negotiations as key stakeholders are brought in; (3) project success is achieved only when stakeholder interests are strongly interwoven in the project need; (4) involving operational system end users was oddly not seen as critical in the case, and (5) the experience of the project manager will determine the extent to which formal methodologies are rigidly followed in the project. The use of an ANT lens provides for a deeper understanding of IS project processes and outcomes.

Digital transformation has become increasingly important for information technology software companies, as it can have a significant impact on the organization's bottom line. However, many companies struggle to achieve success in their digital transformation journey. One of the key challenges that organizations face is the lack of agility. Organizations need to develop their agile maturity levels in order to achieve their desired results. This paper investigates the relationship between agile maturity levels and digital transformation success in information technology software companies. The study also examines the key agile practices that contribute to digital transformation success. A descriptive study was conducted on different software companies. 100 employees working on agile projects were given a survey, and the responses were examined using the SPSS software. In addition to the quantitative data, the study also conducted qualitative interviews with 10 professionals who have implemented agile transformation in their organizations. The findings of the study suggest that there is a significant positive relationship between agile maturity levels and digital transformation success. The correlation analysis revealed a strong relationship between the three agile maturity dimensions (self-organized team, agile project management, and test-driven development) and digital transformation success. It also showed a moderate relationship between the six agile maturity dimensions (performance management, defect prevention, customer availability, requirement management, collaborative development, and regular delivery) and digital transformation success. The paper also found that the key challenge that organizations face in their digital transformation journey is the lack of clarity around the goals of the transformation. The results of the paper have practical implications for agile practitioners and organizations in identifying the order of key areas of agile maturity and activities that should be introduced to achieve a successful digital transformation journey.

Application of Conjoint Analysis in Improving the Value of New Product Development: A Hotel Case Study Analysis
Authors: B. Galli; M. Kaviani; Paula Steisel Goldfarb; Ardeshir Shahmaei
Year: 2017

One of the most important elements of economic and business activity is developing a strategic marketing plan to improve growth prospects. One of the most important aspects of this in marketing is to understand the behavioral patterns of customers, in order to meet their needs and achieve business objectives. The consumer behavior analysis is key to establish the level of preferences expressed by the consumer towards a product or service. For this reason, conjoint analysis (CA) is one of the main models in the field of consumer research. This paper identifies the usefulness of CA as a marketing strategy in new product development (NPD). An application to â€œForte Hotel Designâ€ (presented by Lilien and Rangaswamy, 2004) is developed to highlight how CA can be an effective tool for marketing new products/services. Forte Hotels is a European hotel chain that wants to open a new facility in the United States. This research demostrates that there are multiple ways to conduct marketing research for any product or service. While the Forte Hotel case study used segmentation and targeting tools in its original analysis, the study shows that CA can also be used to analyze this marketing problem and can lead to similar decisions. This study highlights the value of CA as a tool to evaluate product attributes and shows its value in helping to make marketing decisions. It also shows that there is more than one way to dissect a marketing problem. The original case was solved using segmentation and targeting marketing tools, but this study shows that CA can be used to effectively make marketing decisions on new product development that lead to the same results/decisions as other marketing tools. This study shows original ways of using CA, to dissect a service design problem in new product development and to facilitate both product management and project management.
ОЦІНКА ЕФЕКТИВНОСТІ РЕАЛІЗАЦІЇ ПРОЄКТІВ ЯК МІРА ДОСЯГНУТОСТІ РЕЗУЛЬТАТІВ ТА ПОТЕНЦІЙНИХ МОЖЛИВОСТЕЙ
Authors: Наталія Карвацка
Year: 2024

Here, we are talking about issue of conditions and criteria for the success of project implementation. First, the author considered classical evaluation approaches focused on measuring the achievement of initially defined goals within the "project management triangle", i.e. from the point of view of time, quality and budget. Further, developing an opinion about the criteria for the success of projects, we analyzed the works of scientists who substantiated the expansion of assessment conditions by: consideration of stakeholders' expectations; distinguishing the criteria for evaluating the project as a process and the criteria for evaluating the product of the project as a result; taking into account the context; changes in success criteria over time, etc.
As a result, the author draws attention to the debatable understanding of the conditions for determining the success, imperfection, or failure of a project, considering that project success is a multidimensional and dynamic concept. A significant degree of project uncertainty (in terms of cost, time, quality, and operational results) at the initial stages makes it impossible to adopt evaluation criteria based on the fact of achieving primary goals, plans, and formal processes. And the need to take into account the goals of stakeholders, which often change over time, confirms the flexibility and complexity of the process for objective measurement of project success. Additionally, project management has a limited number of success parameters that key stakeholders, both internal and external to the core project implementation team, would agree on. Thus, studies have shown that imperfection is the norm of innovative projects, and taking into account the theory of the Phoenix phenomenon proves the importance of the influence of the time dimension on the evaluation of the project as successful or unsuccessful.

Authors: Yingfa Xie; C. Allen; Mahmood Ali
Year: 2014

Purpose – Implementing enterprise resource planning (ERP) is a challenging task for small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The purpose of this paper is to develop an integrated decision support system (DSS) for ERP implementation (DSS_ERP) to facilitate resource allocations and risk analysis. Design/methodology/approach – Analytical regression models are developed using data collected through a survey conducted on 400 SMEs that have implemented ERP systems, and are validated by a simulation model. The validated analytical regression models are used to construct a nonlinear programming model that generates solutions for resource allocations, such as time and budget. Findings – ERP implementation cost increases along the time horizon, while performance level increases up to a point and remains unchanged. To maximise or achieve a certain level of performance within a budget limitation, CSFs are prioritised as: project management (highest), top management, information technology, users and vendor support...

Implementation of Implant Traceability at Landspitali Hospital
Authors: Helga Helgadóttir; Dr Eðvald Möller
Year: 2023

Iceland is obliged to adopt the regulations of the European Union in cooperation with the European Free Trade Association (EFTA). In 2019, Regulation (EU) 2017/745 (2017) concerning medical devices was approved by the Icelandic Parliament. The regulation was established to prevent the mishandling of equipment used in medical procedures and thereby enhance patient safety. One requirement is complete traceability of an implant – an object used in a procedure and left in the body for longer or shorter periods – from the manufacturer until it is used in a patient. To ensure traceability, it is necessary to review and simplify the entire process and to prevent errors as much as possible. The Lean methodology, which focuses on simplifying processes, eliminating waste, and getting things right the first time, is used for project management at Landspitali, the National University Hospital of Iceland. Landspitali’s working environment is complex, and mistakes can be costly. There is a high demand for data collection and record keeping, which contribute to ensuring patient safety. The process of implementing changes to workflows needs to be carefully managed, and it is crucial to inform and establish trust with those involved in workflows and technical solutions. Involving staff in process improvement using Lean principles enhances insight and fosters greater acceptance of changes, making it easier to respond to problems and external circumstances affecting the transition.

Year: 2005

A little more than 20 years ago, the guest editors assembled several papers on software engineering project management for the January 1984 edition of IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering. Those papers portrayed the state of the practice in SEPM and looked into its future. They decided to revisit SEPM and assemble another set of articles that reflect how SEPM had advanced over the past 20 years and offer a fresh prediction of what lies ahead.
Оценка качества сетевых графиков в управлении проектами
Authors: V. G. Abramov; Ilona Vladimirovna Goryachaya; Daniel Andreevich Puchkin
Year: 2019

В работе рассматривается сетевая модель проекта – сетевой график, являющийся ориентированным графом без контуров с ограничениями, которые вытекают из определения проекта. Одной из проблем сетевого планирования в управлении проектами является сравнительный анализ сетевых графиков, соответствующих одному проекту. Для решения этой проблемы необходимо иметь инструмент оценки качества каждого построенного для проекта сетевого графика. В работе предложен метод оценки качества сетевого графика проекта с помощью математического функционала, вычисляющего числовую характеристику, соответствующую конкретному графу. Данный функционал был получен на основе прямого анализа сетевых графиков с существенным использованием эвристик сетевого планирования в управлении проектами. Анализ графов проводился путем представления их в виде ярусно-параллельной формы и использования их ярусных срезов. Исследование показало, что увеличение числа операций сетевого графика приводит к резкому увеличению сложности прямого анализа, обусловленному комбинаторным взрывом числа единиц анализа. Поэтому построенный функционал был получен на основе анализа графов, отвечающих сетевым графикам с числом операций, не превышающим 6. Для оценки сетевых графиков с произвольным числом операций предлагается алгоритм, основанный на декомпозиции сетевого графика в подграфы с не более чем 6 вершинами. Использование алгоритма в совокупности с предложенным функционалом позволяет получать числовую оценку качества сетевого графика с произвольным количеством вершин.
 The article regards network project which can be represented by directed acyclic graph with restrictions ensuing from project definition. The problem of planning in project management is the comparative analysis of networks of the single project. It needs to have a project network quality rating tool to solve this problem. Article proposes the network ranking method by mathematical functional calculating numerical characteristic of a concrete graph. This functional has received by direct analysis significantly using planning heuristics in project management. Graph analysis has carried out by its representing as multi-parallel form of graph and using its cuts. Investigation has showed that operation increasing leads to a sharp increasing in complexity because of combinatorial explosion of analysis units’ number. Therefore, obtained functional has received by graph analysis of networks having no more than 6 operations. To rate networks having more than 6 operations it offers algorithm based on decomposition network to graphs having no more 6 operations. Using the algorithm and obtained functional allows you to get numerical characteristic rating quality of network having an arbitrary number of vertices.
You’re Hired! Applying the Human Resource Selection Process to Team Formation
Authors: D. McCloskey; K. Crowne
Year: 2018

This article explains an activity that can be conducted to form teams in university business classes. It allows students to actively participate in the team selection process and learn valuable human resource management skills. Students are placed in the role of hiring managers. They have to identify the skills and characteristics needed to complete a project and then review and evaluate résumés to select appropriate team members. The exercise provides students with practical experience in a key managerial function, as well as insight into how they are presenting their own skills and accomplishments on their résumés. While this activity has been primarily conducted in an undergraduate project management course where the team project is a substantial part of the student’s grade, the exercise is also applicable in other business courses.

Project management is a typically experience centralized and process-driven activity. Various critical factors with interaction effect would decide project management success leads to complexity project management prediction problem. Project managers indeed require some assistance to reduce the uncertainty. To improve the predicament of project managers, this research built a process-oriented dynamics model that provides project managers a comprehensive systemically perspective to improve project prediction accurate rate, including: the project complexity prediction, the project staff allocation and the cost-revenue evaluation. As the experiment results demonstrated, the proposed model was successfully applied to simulate 41 real projects from an IT consultancy in Taiwan. The accurate rate of project complexity prediction is average 90%. Additionally, the proposed model enable project managers to simulate project staff allocation, including: PM, SA, SD and project programmer. Finally, the cost-revenue evaluation provide above 65% projects could achieve positive profit. These simulation results could successfully provide information for PM to reduce project management uncertainty.

Year: 2023

Ongoing construction projects using material resources and equipment can harm environmental conditions. Thus, it requires high awareness and willingness to maintain the environment in construction project management. Green construction is explained as an effort or strategy for managing construction activities, including the use of resources that are efficient and environmentally friendly so that they can support a sustainable movement. This research aims to discover the causes of obstacles in implementing green construction in the Gianyar Market development project. The method used is qualitative, with interviews with 28 respondents involved in the construction process of the Gianyar Market development. From the results of the study, it was found that the constraints experienced by contractors in the implementation of Greem construction included (1) Human Resources, (2) Materials or Material Resources, (3) Facilities and Infrastructure, and (4) Costs. These constraints are caused by several factors, namely (1) Lack of understanding, (2) Requiring particular experts, (3) Need to improve the quality of facilities and infrastructure, and (4) Readiness of the budget. From these results, it is possible to evaluate and increase the quantity and quality of the facilities and infrastructure owned to support the implementation of green construction, as well as coordinate with Experts who understand green construction well.
Management of NASA's Earth Venture-1 (EV-1) airborne science selections
Authors: B. D. Allen; Todd C. Denkins; John H. Kilgore; J. Wells
Year: 2010

The Earth System Science Pathfinder (ESSP) Program Office (PO) is responsible for programmatic management of National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Science Mission Directorate's (SMD) Earth Venture (EV) missions. EV is composed of both orbital and suborbital Earth science missions. The first of the Earth Venture missions is EV-1, which are Principal Investigator-led, temporally-sustained, suborbital (airborne) science investigations cost-capped at $30M each over five years. Traditional orbital procedures, processes and standards used to manage previous ESSP missions, while effective, are disproportionally comprehensive for suborbital missions. Conversely, existing airborne practices are primarily intended for smaller, temporally shorter investigations, and traditionally managed directly by a program scientist as opposed to a program office such as ESSP. ESSP has crafted a management approach for the successful implementation of the EV-1 missions within the constructs of current governance models. NASA Research and Technology Program and Project Management Requirements form the foundation of the approach for EV-1. Additionally, requirements from other existing NASA Procedural Requirements (NPRs), systems engineering guidance and management handbooks were adapted to manage programmatic, technical, schedule, cost elements and risk. The program management approach presented here for EV-1 will set the precedent for future suborbital EV missions.
