Year: 2023

The evaluation of risk and uncertainty in the context of software project management is the subject of this paper. This paper discusses the difficulties faced by project managers in handling uncertainty brought on by the complex nature of software projects and the ever evolving requirements of technology. A review of the literature, data production, visualization, statistical analysis, and mathematical modeling are included in this study. The goal of this study is to create a methodical approach to assist project managers in making decisions by considering the inherent uncertainty in software development and to find approaches and procedures that may successfully reduce risks, improve decision-making, and eventually result in the implementation of successful projects. The following tasks were carried out: to evaluate risk and uncertainty by examining the state-of-the-art in decision theory and its applications in software project management; to develop an integrated strategy that blends Monte Carlo Simulation with Decision Trees to assess risk and uncertainty in software project management; to generate data, visualize it, and perform statistical analysis to comprehend how project outcomes, costs, and time are affected; to identify important variables affecting project results and decision-making using decision trees; to use Monte Carlo simulation to create project scenarios and weigh the likelihood of each; and to supply project managers with knowledge and suggestions to help them make informed decisions and successfully manage risks. Methods. To evaluate risk and uncertainty in software project management, this paper analyzes the decision theory approaches currently used as well as Decision Trees and Monte Carlo Simulation techniques. Results. This study offers thorough insights into how project results, costs, and duration vary among various techniques. The critical factors that have a substantial influence on project success are shown through decision trees. According to the study’s findings, combining decision theory and statistical analysis equips project managers to make wise decisions despite uncertainty. Conclusions. Project managers may improve decision making, risk reduction, and overall project success by applying these cutting-edge approaches. To adapt these techniques to unique software project management contexts and real-world situations, further study and implementation in practice are necessary. With the use of such techniques, the software development sector would be better able to manage the complexity of projects and provide good results within set financial and time parameters.

Pada proyek diharuskan untuk menerapkan manajemen proyek yang tepat waktu, tepat mutu dan tepat biaya. Pada Pekerjaan Peningkatan Jalan Ruas Kota Terpadu Mandiri (KTM) – Jembatan Sungai Buaya Dana Alokasi Khusus (DAK) Reguler di Kabupaten Mesuji dilakukan analisa produktivitas alat berat dan angkutan. Alat berat yang dipakai berupa Excavator 80-140 Horse Power (HP) dengan kapasitas buket 0,9 m3 dan alat angkut berupa Truck Mixer (TM) kapasitas 7 m3 . Dengan lokasi pekerjaan sejauh 25,7 km dari lokasi Stockpile. Ada beberapa kendala yang dilalui pada saat pelaksanaan pekerjaan antara lain kondisi jalan yang buruk, melewati pemukiman warga, dan kondisi TM yang tidak prima. Sehingga estimasi waktu yang sebelumnya sudah diperhitungkan mengalami perbedaan yang cukup besar, kemudian dilakukan analisa kembali untuk produktivitas alat berat dan angkutan dengan memperhitungkan faktor-faktor yang menghambat. Sehingga didapat berapa banyak kebutuhan alat yang dipakai. 
Dari hasil analisis perhitungan sesuai dengan Analisa Harga Satuan Pekerjaan (AHSP) didapatkan perhitungan pada penggunaan alat berat excavator dengan kapasitas buket 0,9 m3 serta dengan faktor kondisi alat yang baik dan 7 jam kerja didapatkan total waktu untuk pengisian 1 unit truck mixer dengan kapasitas 7 m3 sebesar 20 menit dengan produktivitas senilai 67, 23 m3 / jam. Kemudian pada analisis perhitungan perjalanan truck mixer dari stockpile ke lokasi yang berjarak 25,7 km ditempuh dengan rata-rata kecepatan bermuatan 15 Km/jam dan kecepatan rata-rata muatan kosong 20 Km/jam didapat dari hasil perhitungan waktu yang dibutuhkan untuk kembali memuat beton sebesar 3 jam 45 menit. Dari hasil tersebut maka 1 unit truck mixer hanya dapat melakukan 2 ritase. Sehingga analisis pada alat muat (excavator) dan angkut (truck mixer) yang dilakukan pada paket pekerjaan Peningkatan Jalan Ruas KTM – Jembatan Sungai Buaya (DAK) Reguler di Kabupaten Mesuji yang pada kontrak menggunakan 4 truck mixer belum dapat memenuhi kapasitas produksi dalam sehari. Dengan demikian, maka dibutuhkan penambahan truck mixer menjadi 11 unit.

Continuous training is crucial for creating and maintaining the right skill-profile for the industrial organization's workforce. There is a tremendous variety in the available trainings within an organization: technical, project management, quality, leadership, domain-specific, soft-skills etc. Hence it is important to assist the employee in choosing the best trainings, which perfectly suits her background, project needs and career goals. In this paper, we focus on algorithms for training recommendation in an industrial setting. We formalize the problem of next training recommendation, taking into account the employee's training and work history. We present several new unsupervised sequence mining algorithms to mine the past trainings data from the organization for arriving at personalized next training recommendation. Using the real-life data about trainings of 118587 employees over 5019 distinct trainings from a large multi-national IT organization, we show that these algorithms outperform several standard recommendation engine algorithms as well as those based on standard sequence mining algorithms.

In recent years, the project management concept is coupled with sustainable development. In terms of profitability and adapting to environmental changes, generating value for the customer and responding to market needs is a challenging issue. To gain profit and success, a project should adhere to agility factors. With respect to the importance of project execution success, corresponding to the sustainability dimensions and by developing agility parameters, this study provides a framework for clustering and analyzing “large projects” based on agility factors in project-oriented organizations through a sustainability approach and by applying Quality Function Deployment. To this end, critical factors of project success and then agility factors of the project-oriented organizations have been identified. Thereafter, the importance of these two major components has been measured by executive managers in Isfahan Municipality and academic experts. Afterward, the agility factors’ weights have been calculated based on extracted sustainability factors’ weights, which have been gained according to the project’s critical success factors and by applying quality function deployment. By determining the agility factors’ clusters in the project-oriented organizations and calculating their importance weights, the first cluster that contains project communication management, organizational culture, and contracts management gains the maximum weight of importance.

Year: 2024

Online medical crowdfunding provides financial support for patients in need. As a major aspect of the disclosure of fundraisers to potential donors, project updates play an essential role in determining the success of crowdfunding projects. In this article, we aim to reveal the dynamic impacts of project updates on fundraising performance by analyzing 2334 projects on a leading medical crowdfunding platform in China from January 2020 to July 2021. Drawing on Aristotle's persuasion theory, we identify three aspects of project updates that influence fundraising outcomes: credibility appeals, rational appeals, and emotional appeals. The empirical results reveal that credibility appeals, rational appeals, and emotional appeals increase the fundraising amount of projects. Moreover, as time passes, the positive impact of project updates with credibility appeals in promoting fundraising amount decreases, while the positive effects of updates with rational and emotional appeals increase. This study contributes to the information disclosure stream of crowdfunding literature and project management research. Implications for fundraising practice are discussed as well.

Authors: Erin K Thayer; M. Pam; Morhaf Al Achkar; L. Mentch; Georgia Brown; Traci M Kazmerski; E. Godfrey
Year: 2020

Background Patient-centered outcomes research (PCOR) engages patients as partners in research and focuses on questions and outcomes that are important to patients. The COVID-19 pandemic has forced PCOR teams to engage through web-based platforms rather than in person. Similarly, virtual engagement is the only safe alternative for members of the cystic fibrosis (CF) community, who spend their lives following strict infection control guidelines and are already restricted from in-person interactions. In the absence of universal best practices, the CF community has developed its own guidelines to help PCOR teams engage through web-based platforms. Objective This study aimed to identify the important attributes, facilitators, and barriers to teams when selecting web-based platforms. Methods We conducted semistructured interviews with CF community members, nonprofit stakeholders, and researchers to obtain information regarding their experience with using web-based platforms, including the effectiveness and efficiency of these platforms and their satisfaction with and confidence while using each platform. Interviews conducted via Zoom were audio recorded and transcribed. We identified key themes through content analysis with an iterative, inductive, and deductive coding process. Results In total, 15 participants reported using web-based platforms for meetings, project management, document sharing, scheduling, and communication. When selecting web-based platforms, participants valued their accessibility, ease of use, and integration with other platforms. Participants speculated that successful web-based collaboration involved platforms that emulate in-person interactions, recognized the digital literacy levels of the team members, intentionally aligned platforms with collaboration goals, and achieved team member buy-in to adopt new platforms. Conclusions Successful web-based engagement in PCOR requires the use of multiple platforms in order to fully meet the asynchronous or synchronous goals of the project. This study identified the key attributes for the successful practice of PCOR on web-based platforms and the common challenges and solutions associated with their use. Our findings provide the best practices for selecting platforms and the lessons learned through web-based PCOR collaborations.

Year: 2016

Computer-based training is a version of training that is becoming quite common. The Project Team Builder (PTB) program uses a computer simulation to help train individuals on how to correct a variety of problems faced by project managers. In this study, the use of a computer-based training program was utilized to assess learning and performance. To measure this, a Tobii T120 eye tracking system was employed to measure fixations and saccades of the participant while completing a training program. The task consisted of the completion of a project management training with assistance of the researcher, then again without assistance. It was hypothesized that performance would improve on the self-guided task after the completion of the assisted task. Results found that participants that completed the task quicker found it to be less mentally demanding. Number of fixations was found to be positively correlated with mental workload and perceived performance. This gives way to further research on computer-based training and the use of eye tracking systems for future program development.

Year: 2020

Recent statistical report on software project has been reflected the significant software project failure rate is existed till now. Failure can be partial, complete or compromising in functional or non-functional factors. The EBSPM public software project data repository has been analysed to reflect the relationship among cost, time, effective hours and functional points to identify eternal influencing factors. The literature review has identified the root causes of failure. Software quality control is a formal approach to make the project successful but until now ambiguous with the integration of quality factors. Our proposed ontology reduces the complexity of project management. This research has established the way of developing an ontology by including maximum quality factors. The way of collaborative working is included in the ontology to ensure formal, transparent, accountable and responsible manner. The ontology model is developed with descriptive logic and diagrams. Theoretical evaluation has been done at the end of the research based on the criteria of standardisation organisations.

Year: 2010

Project management in a matrix organization is complex because project managers share the organization resources (budget and human), and cooperation between managers is critical for effective resource sharing. Therefore, training project managers in the matrix structure to work as a team is required. A simulator-based method to train managers to work as a team is presented. A project team builder (PTB) simulating a dynamic, stochastic multiproject environment was designed and implemented in a project management course for graduate students in systems engineering. Recording the learning history and having a debriefing mechanism were implemented as mechanisms to facilitate team learning. A total of 132 participants composed of graduate students, representing experienced managers, and undergraduate students as inexperienced managers, assigned into teams of three participants each, used the simulator in a multiuser multi-project mode. The findings indicate that for the initial learning phase and transfer to a different scenario, the three factors, history, debriefing, and experience, affected the performances. Furthermore, the interactions between the debriefing and history factors, between the experience and debriefing factors, and between the history and experience factors were all significant. Based on these findings, a new paradigm for a simulation-based team learning is presented.

Year: 2024

This work is carried out in a public Research Center in Mexico, which is subject to the Government's policies and regulations. In particular, the regulations that refer to the project management process for contracting ICT goods and services. The Information Technology Unit (UTIC) of the Research Center established a manual process to collect and centralize information on projects for ICT contracting at the institutional level, which was not previously carried out. This process proved to be complicated, inefficient and it has generated an overload of work, especially in the UTIC headquarters. In addition, other problems have arisen, such as the loss, duplication, and dispersion of information that makes it impossible for the UTIC to make decisions in real-time. To solve the above, the objective of this work is to implement a Web platform that facilitates, streamlines, and support project management for the contracting of ICT goods and services and that includes an indicator board to monitor the status of the projects, the budget and the contracts made that allow decision-making regarding ICT in the short and medium term. For implementation, a systematic literature review was first conducted using the Prisma methodology to establish the state of the art, and the Extreme Programming (XP) methodology was used for development. The result was a prototype of the proposed web platform.

Despite the growing demand worldwide, the popularity of the Software Quality Assurance (SQA) profession has always been questionable. Technology is increasingly being adopted in the SQA process. Still, the prospective entrants to the profession seem to doubt various aspects such as career progression, learning opportunities, social recognition, etc. This research aims to study why SQA is not a popular career choice among computing undergraduates. Specifically, it aims to unveil the critical factors that affect the reluctance of undergraduates to pursue a career in SQA. The research was conducted in Sri Lanka, a popular offshore outsourcing destination for software development. Over 500 undergraduates who follow computing degrees in state and non-state universities in Sri Lanka were surveyed using a questionnaire developed based on the theory of planned behaviour. The results were analysed using qualitative and quantitative approaches and verified at a forum of experienced quality professionals. The findings confirm that the SQA profession is perceived less favourably than other career paths, such as software development and project management in computing. The study explores different attributes related to the undergraduates' attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioural control, likely impacting their reluctance to choose an SQA career. Additionally, the study explores the impact of gender, internship status, and the type of educational institution. The study concludes that 1) Lack of awareness about the SQA profession, 2) Possible inferiority complexes and ill-treatment at the workplace, 3) Effects of the negative messages the senior students carry to their juniors after internships, and 4) The impact of the alumni who work as SQA professionals are the potential areas that the industry and the academia need to work on individually as well as collaboratively to mitigate the risks stemming from the undergraduates' reluctance to join the SQA profession.
