Unveiling the Landscape of System Thinking Modeling Tools Use in Software Engineering
Authors: Júlia de Souza Borges; Thiago Felippe Neitzke Lahass; Amanda Brito Apolinário; Paulo Sérgio dos Santos Júnior; M. Barcellos
Year: 2024

Context: Software organizations involve several processes, people, practices, culture, and other factors that affect their behavior. Understanding the organizational environment is crucial for improving processes and products. System Thinking (ST) provides several tools that help in this matter. ST views an organization as a system, comprising elements and interconnections coherently organized in a structure that produces a characteristic set of behaviors. Objective: Given ST’s successful application in different areas of industry and academia, and its potential to address Software Engineering (SE) problems, we decided to investigate how ST modeling tools have been used in SE. Our goal is to provide a panorama of the use of such tools in SE, identify gaps, and shine a light on research opportunities. Method: We carried out a systematic literature mapping, analyzing 700 publications. From these, we identified 10 publications addressing the use of ST modeling tools in SE and conducted an in-depth analysis by investigating the tools that have been used in SE, the ways of and purposes for using these tools, the SE processes that have been supported by them, and the difficulties and benefits that have been perceived when using such tools. Results: ST modeling tools have been employed to tackle SE issues in organizational contexts and to model and analyze the results of SE studies. Project Management and Requirements Engineering have been the most common processes in which these tools have been applied. ST modeling tools have helped get a holistic understanding of complex systems and identify strategies to address problematic behaviors that affect SE outcomes. Causal loop diagrams have been the predominant tool. The lack of necessary knowledge has been a challenge for using the tools. Conclusion: Using ST tools in SE holds promise. Nevertheless, they also suggest that ST modeling tools have been under-explored in this context. Hence, further investigation into their potential for enhancing SE products and processes is warranted.

To what extent can smart contracts replace traditional contracts in construction project?
Authors: Haizhe Yu; Xiaopeng Deng; Na Zhang
Year: 2023

PurposeThe smart contract provides an opportunity to improve existing contract management practices in the construction projects by replacing traditional contracts. However, translating the contracts into computer languages is considered a major challenge which has not been investigated. Thus, it is necessary to: (1) identify the obstructing clauses in real-world contracts; and (2) analyze the replacement's technical and economic feasibility. This paper aims to discuss the aforementioned objectives.Design/methodology/approachThis study identified the flexibility clauses of traditional contracts and their corresponding functions through inductive content analysis with representative standard contracts as materials. Through a speculative analysis in accordance to design science paradigm and new institutional economics, the economic and technical feasibility of existing approaches, including enumeration method, fuzzy algorithm, rough sets theory, machine learning and artificial intelligence, to transform respective clauses (functions) into executable codes are analyzed.FindingsThe clauses of semantic flexibility and structural flexibility are identified from the contracts. The transformation of semantic flexibility is economically and/or technically infeasible with existing methods and materials. But with more data as materials and methods of rough sets or machine learning, the transformation can be feasible. The transformation of structural flexibility is technically possible however economically unacceptable.Practical implicationsGiven smart contracts' inability to provide the required flexibility for construction projects, smart contracts will be more effective in less relational contracts. For construction contracts, the combination of smart contracts and traditional contracts is recommended. In the long run, with the sharing or trading of data in the industry level and the integration of machine learning or artificial intelligence reducing relevant costs, the automation of contract management can be achieved.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the understanding of the smart contract's limitations in industry scenarios and its role in construction project management.
A Qualitative Study on Artificial Intelligence and its Impact on the Project Schedule Cost and Risk Management Knowledge Areas as Presented in PMBOK®
Authors: T. V. Fridgeirsson; H. Ingason; H. Jonasson; Helena Gunnarsdottir
Year: 2023

The aim of this paper is to study the main areas in which Artificial Intelligence (AI) will impact the field of project management that relates to cost, risk and scheduling. The research model was based on a previous study of the ten project management knowledge areas presented in the PMI’s PMBOK 6th edition where project schedule-, cost- and risk management knowledge areas were identified as being the ones most likely to be affected by the development of AI. A group of experts that participated in the study agreed that AI will affect the project management profession in the future. Different elements of the three knowledge areas were considered to be affected more by AI than others. The schedule baseline is the element believed to be affected the most out of the project schedule management elements. For project cost management, the estimation of resource cost is believed to be affected the most. In the case of project risk management, the application of AI will have the strongest impact on the probability and impact format.
Using yEd Software to Visualize and Analyze Project Management Knowledge Systems Data
Authors: Dmytro Lukianov; V. Gogunskii; O. Kolesnikov; K. Kolesnikova
Year: 2020

The article proposes to consider some conclusions about the significance of a number of elements of the model of individual competencies of project managers proposed by the International Project Management Association (IPMA ICB 4.0) when presented as a directed graph. It is proposed to consider elements of the competency model (a set of 28 elements for the ICB model for project management) as the vertices of such a graph. It is proposed to carry out a structural analysis of such a graph using various combinations of representations that combine the "centrality" parameter and "weight characteristics" for the vertices of such a graph based on information about the number of edges adjacent to the vertices. The article demonstrates the approach proposed by the authors to the analysis of a directed graph using software such as the openly distributed product yEd, which has sufficiently wide capabilities for visualizing various systems modeled with its help, including graphs. It is also proposed to consider, as an example of using such a representation, a variant of transforming the existing IPMA ICB 4.0 model based on the representations for this structure obtained during the visual analysis using the yEd service. The structure of the general communication system IPMA ICB 4.0 is clearly demonstrated, and the presentation of each of the blocks of elements of this model is also visualized. Shows the role of the element "Leadership" as an "integral element", directly through which communication is carried out between all blocks of the model of elements. The role of such an element as "Power and Interest" in the analysis of a directed graph using a set of representations is also highlighted, which demonstrates the structural relationships of the entire system of elements of the system under consideration using the "centrality" property.
Bimbingan Teknis Kompetensi Manajemen Proyek Untuk Kompetensi Tambahan Calon Lulusan Universitas Iqra Buru

A construction project is one of the activities in which the results of the work are affected by the productivity of the workforce. Activities in construction projects are interrelated, so that if one activity is hampered it will hinder other activities in the field. Likewise construction activities are complex jobs and require more attention in their implementation. The elements that are part of the construction are cost, quality, and time in which there are also resources that must be controlled, such as work and materials. Based on this, it is necessary to have technical guidance for prospective civil engineering graduates to prepare them so that they are better prepared and able to enter the world of construction work later. Based on this, the Ministry of PUPR, the Director General of Construction Development, Jayapura Region VII Construction Services Center, and Iqra University, work together to carry out technical assistance activities in the Auditorium Room of Iqra Buru University, Namlea Regency. This activity lasted for 3 days. There were several materials presented, namely Project Management, K3, Quality Control and Precast Concrete. The activity participants consisted of more than 30 students, the majority of whom were final students who were doing their thesis and were about to graduate. This activity is carried out with lectures, giving assignments and questions and answers. This is done so that students are more focused on listening to the material and activities that are taking place.
Unlocking Potential: The Impact of Application and Database Access on IT Project Management Efficiency and Effectiveness.
Authors: Vaijinath Susuruth Narayana Saker
Year: 2023

This white paper delves into the challenges faced by IT Project Managers (IT PMs) due to restricted application and database access within organizations. Predominantly operating in an application-driven environment, IT PMs play a crucial role in aligning IT projects with organizational objectives and stakeholder expectations. However, the prevalent "Need to Know" policy in many organizations hinders IT PMs from gaining comprehensive insights into the projects they oversee. Such limitations not only pertain to application enhancements but also extend to backend projects like data migration and API enhancements. Restricted access can impede effective communication with technical teams, influence estimation accuracy, alter escalation strategies, and affect stakeholder interaction and end-user understanding. By investigating real-world scenarios, this paper seeks to understand the implications of these restrictions, propose mitigation strategies, and recommend solutions to optimize IT Project Management practices. The overarching aim is to enrich the discourse on improving IT PMs' efficiency and efficacy by reassessing access policies.
Mining Dependencies in Large-Scale Agile Software Development Projects: A Quantitative Industry Study
Authors: Katarzyna Biesialska; Xavier Franch; V. Muntés-Mulero
Year: 2021

Context: Coordination in large-scale software development is critical yet difficult, as it faces the problem of dependency management and resolution. In this work, we focus on managing requirement dependencies that in Agile software development (ASD) come in the form of user stories. Objective: This work studies decisions of large-scale Agile teams regarding identification of dependencies between user stories. Our goal is to explain detection of dependencies through users’ behavior in large-scale, distributed projects. Method: We perform empirical evaluation on a large real-world dataset from an Agile software organization, provider of a leading software for Agile project management. We mine the usage data of the Agile Lifecycle Management (ALM) tool to extract large-scale development project data for more than 70 teams running over a five-year period. Results: Our results demonstrate that dependencies among user stories are not frequently observed (the problem affects around 10% of user stories), however, their implications on large-scale ASD are considerable. Dependencies have impact on software releases and increase work coordination complexity for members of different teams. Conclusion: Requirement dependencies undermine Agile teams’ autonomy and are difficult to manage at scale. We conclude that leveraging ALM monitoring data to automatically detect dependencies could help Agile teams address work coordination needs and manage risks related to dependencies in a timely manner.
New Methods of Project Management Based on Web Environment
Year: 2024

One of the main challenges of management in today's era, is to adjust organizations to the speed of changes in the business world. Rapid changes in technologies and working tools, continuous changes in market conditions, unpredictable fluctuations in prices, continuous changes in customers' tastes, etc. are factors that make decision-making and management difficult for organization managers. In such a situation, the delay in the implementation and delay in the exploitation of any of the organization's business goals can lead to the loss or serious reduction of the organization's expected benefits from this business goal. One of the issues in project-oriented organizations is that the planning of each project may include thousands or tens of thousands of activities, each activity contains different information in terms of physical, time and financial progress; Therefore, one of the new methods of project management is the use of intranet, extranet and internet environments in project management. This research examines new methods of project management based on web environments. The results of the research show that in the project management process, using the web environment, project and non-project processes of organizations and companies can be organized. It also controlled the management of teams and teamwork well.
Miniumum viable product creation through adaptive project management — An extended approach for the management of innovation projects: The ecochallenge case
Authors: A. Nuseibah; Christian Reimann; Maria Zadnepryanets; Carsten Wolff; J. Otegi-Olaso
Year: 2017

Innovation Project Management has gained a lot of attention in the recent years given its complexity and the challenging questions innovation projects pose to traditional project management. Literature shows high rates of failure, for numerous reasons, when it comes to innovation projects, among which are the project management approach and the inability to tackle the complexity and uncertainty connected to the project. This paper will discuss the concept of innovation projects and the challenges they face then propose means to address those challenges by proposing an adaptive project management approach based on agile-thinking. This approach is then extended to include the concept of minimum viable product delivery, known from the fields of product development, engineering and start-ups. The combination of the two concepts, with reflection on the peculiarities of innovation projects, offer a novel approach to work in adaptive life-cycles, while focusing on creating an incremental, deployable product. To test its validity, this approach is then applied on a case study from an innovation project with the aim to create a cargo vessel in a competition setting.
A Multidimensional and Visual Exploration Approach to Project Prioritization and Selection
Authors: Guangzhi Zheng; V. Vaishnavi
Year: 2009

In project management, many decisions are made based on multiple attributes (dimensions) of project data. However, these dimensions are usually condensed into one or two indicators in the analysis process. For example, projects are commonly prioritized using a scoring approach: they are evaluated according to predefined categories, which are then aggregated into one or two priority numbers. We argue that aggregated scores may only offer a limited view of project importance. Such scores tend to hide information that may effectively distinguish projects; this often leads decision makers to ignore the possible differences masked by aggregation. This paper presents a visual exploration approach that integrates human intuition and maintains the multidimensionality of project data as a decision basis for project prioritization and selection. The approach is based on the examination of portfolio perceptual maps, generated by a clustering technique. The research provides a useful and complementary approach for decision makers to analyze project portfolios.
Effective collaborative learning in biomedical education using a web-based infrastructure
Authors: Yunfeng Wu; Fang Zheng; Suxian Cai; Ning Xiang; Zhangting Zhong; Jia He; Fang Xu
Year: 2012

This paper presents a feature-rich web-based system used for biomedical education at the undergraduate level. With the powerful groupware features provided by the wiki system, the instructors are able to establish a community-centered mentoring environment that capitalizes on local expertise to create a sense of online collaborative learning among students. The web-based infrastructure can help the instructors effectively organize and coordinate student research projects, and the groupware features may support the interactive activities, such as interpersonal communications and data sharing. The groupware features also provide the web-based system with a wide range of additional ways of organizing collaboratively developed materials, which makes it become an effective tool for online active learning. Students are able to learn the ability to work effectively in teams, with an improvement of project management, design collaboration, and technical writing skills. With the fruitful outcomes in recent years, it is positively thought that the web-based collaborative learning environment can perform an excellent shift away from the conventional instructor-centered teaching to community- centered collaborative learning in the undergraduate education.
Significance of a software interoperability matrix for architectural engineering and construction industry
Authors: P. Kalutara; K. London; Claudelle Taylor
Year: 2021

Traditional project management applications are appeared working separately of their participating project teams and isolating the input of each team to both geometry and non-geometry of the project. With the introduction of Building Information Modelling (BIM), Architectural, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry expected it would be a panacea as a tool to effectively collaborate project teams and to efficiently share geometry and non-geometry data relevant to not only design and construction but also covering the whole life-cycle of the project. All these BIM functions are relied on its automation capability; in other words, BIM vision totally discourages manual processing of data. As a result, good interoperability practice needs to pass data automatically between applications of different project teams. Many international associations are working in search of full interoperability among BIM players of the project; however, the goal is yet to succeed. The current study identifies the impact due to poor interoperability between applications and takes considerable effort to minimise or eliminate if possible. Software Interoperability Matrix (SIM) is the proposed solution delivering the outcome. Action research is the methodology adopted to develop SIM, in which researchers and professionals actively participated. Major industry contribution of SIM is to realise interoperability issues between BIM players prior to the project and upon identification, precautionary measures can be taken introducing new plug-ins or completely switching to new compatible application if it is the only solution.
A Social Network Perspective of Information Systems Project Management
Authors: A. Mattia; H. Weistroffer
Year: 2010

This study looks at the social network that exists during information systems development (ISD). By introducing a social network perspective of information systems project management, social network analysis and its concepts of embeddedness, structural holes, and centrality can be used to reveal organizational phenomena that might otherwise be overlooked. In this study we analyze the social network from a successful systems development project in a health care setting, looking particularly at the emergence and role of change agents. The results of this research suggest that the ISD transactions are embedded in the social relations, implying that social relations and ISD must be managed jointly to achieve a successful (system solution) project. Social network analysis allows simultaneously measuring the ISD project transactions and the social relationships that tie them together, providing a new perspective that can be used to build an effective project management infrastructure.
Innovation in ISD Projects: A KBV Approach
Authors: J. Owen; J. Connor; H. Linger
Year: 2011

complexity of projects, and in particular emerging problems, cannot and are not able to be solved through traditional systems or process methodologies. The limitations of traditional tools and techniques that are deterministic and linear necessitate additional but complementary techniques to deal with the complex and dynamic evolutionary nature of ISD projects. Social processes, as distinct from formal structures, address complexity and drive innovation in ISD projects. Actors use knowledge based practices to create interleaved networks of expertise to clarify, brainstorm and innovate solutions. Drawing on an illustrative case study of an ISD project in an Australian Government Department we demonstrate how knowledge based practices were used to address emergent issues in the project and how the formal processes failed. However, the innovation was then re-incorporated into the formal systems to satisfy the rational, bureaucratic process requirements required in tightly governed projects. This clash of the formal versus informal represents a major theoretical and practical problem for knowledge, project management and ISD theory and praxis. We conclude by offering some suggestions on how to reconcile the irreconcilable.
What factors lead to software project failure?
Authors: J. Verner; Jennifer Sampson; N. Cerpa
Year: 2008

It has been suggested that there is more than one reason for a software development project to fail. However, most of the literature that discusses project failure tends to be rather general, supplying us with lists of risk and failure factors, and focusing on the negative business effects of the failure. Very little research has attempted an in-depth investigation of a number of failed projects to identify exactly what are the factors behind the failure. In this research we analyze data from 70 failed projects. This data provides us with practitionerspsila perspectives on 57 development and management factors for projects they considered were failures. Our results show that all projects we investigated suffered from numerous failure factors. For a single project the number of such factors ranges from 5 to 47. While there does not appear to be any overarching set of failure factors we discovered that all of the projects suffered from poor project management. Most projects additionally suffered from organizational factors outside the project managerpsilas control. We conclude with suggestions for minimizing the four most common failure factors.
