The Diversity of Approaches to Support Software Project Management in the Agile Context: Trends, Comparisons and Gaps
Authors: Elielton da Costa Carvalho; S. Oliveira
Year: 2022

: The literature has reported a significant number of approaches to support software development teams. Due to this diversity of approaches, the process of choosing which one is the most suitable for a given project becomes a complex task as new approaches emerge. In addition, there has been no comprehensive work on what these project management approaches are, nor what their main advantages and limitations are. Therefore, it becomes important to research the characteristics of these approaches and map them to minimize decision challenges. Therefore, the objective of this work is to identify primary studies in software engineering that present approaches to support the management of software projects in the agile context. To achieve this goal, we conducted a systematic review study and selected 65 studies on software project management approaches. From these studies, we identified eight different types of approaches, with software being the most used approaches in this context. In addition, nine project areas were identified in which these approaches focus, among which "Schedule" and "Quality" stand out as the areas with the greatest focus by the approaches. Finally, we identified that the "Planning" is the phase of the project in which the approaches place more emphasis.

Authors: Yi Chen; Jile Xin
Year: 2010

Automatic control on business process with workflow is the core part of a project management system. A process-oriented workflow system model which can support workflow configuration, process control, task assignment, task submitting and approval, and cooperative work is presented. The model is a hierachical architecture that consists of three layers, i.e. database layer, workflow engine layer, and user interface layer. It is based on Browser/Server architecture which can provide multi-user, distributed and access control properties. The workflow engine is based on XPDL and relational database technologies and can support cooperative work, branch selection and workflow configuration. The model is implemented on Windows .NET platform, and is applied in an international enterprise project management system. The application results demonstrate that this workflow system model can satisfy the requirement of cooperative project management.

OBJECTIVE
Introduce a program for the management of scientific research in a General Hospital employing the business management tools Lean Six Sigma and PMBOK for project management in this area.


METHODS
The Lean Six Sigma methodology was used to improve the management of the institution's scientific research through a specific tool (DMAIC) for identification, implementation and posterior analysis based on PMBOK practices of the solutions found.


RESULTS
We present our solutions for the management of institutional research projects at the Sociedade Beneficente Israelita Brasileira Albert Einstein. The solutions were classified into four headings: people, processes, systems and organizational culture. A preliminary analysis of these solutions showed them to be completely or partially compliant to the processes described in the PMBOK Guide.


CONCLUSION
In this post facto study, we verified that the solutions drawn from a project using Lean Six Sigma methodology and based on PMBOK enabled the improvement of our processes dealing with the management of scientific research carried out in the institution and constitutes a model to contribute to the search of innovative science management solutions by other institutions dealing with scientific research in Brazil.
Assessing the Gaps between Alberta K-12 Competency Development and University of Alberta Engineering Introductory-level Graduate Attribute Indicators
Authors: Shuai Yu; Jason Carey
Year: 2024

Canadian engineering education is in high demand for students. The University of Alberta (U of A) internal surveys have shown that the first year of engineering program is often the most challenging due to the greater expectations of knowledge and skills, different learning environments, and higher requirements of independent study skills compared to high school. Hence, high school graduates should be equipped with the competencies and knowledge to be more prepared for their first-year engineering studies, which is critical to their success. Therefore, this paper aims first to explore the engineering-specific high school competencies to enter the Faculty of Engineering, U of A. Further, it seeks to identify the gaps between these competencies and the introductory-level graduate attributes (GAs) in the U of A engineering programs. Using a document analysis method, we compared the ENGG introductory-level GAs with the learning outcomes of high school required courses. The findings indicate that high school courses prepare students for first-year engineering courses in terms of knowledge-based and other competencies. However, despite the alignment, gaps also exist in terms of life-long learning, professionalism, ethics and equity, economics and project management that need to be addressed by the program’s first year. Having these skills developed would better prepare students for the first year of engineering and should be a focus of first-year engineering programs.
Does the use of computer-based BPC tools contribute to redesign effectiveness? Insights from a hermeneutic study
Authors: Suprateek Sarker; Allen S. Lee
Year: 2006

Much of the Business Process Change (BPC) literature maintains that the use of computer-based tools for BPC-related tasks such as process modeling, simulation, and project management has a positive influence on business process redesign effectiveness. Our hermeneutic study of text and text analogues in two organizations reveals that the use of computer-based BPC tools can have two opposing effects on redesign effectiveness. We find that, consistent with the existing literature, such tools can indeed enhance redesign effectiveness by providing: 1) a structure to the redesign process; 2) cognitive support to the redesigners; and 3) a mode for standardized representation of the redesigns. However, we also discover that the autonomization of electronically represented redesigns and the organizational members' subsequent focus on standardized, detailed, and objectified representations (rather than on socially shared understandings) of the redesign, can lead to an alienation of the original redesigners from the business processes that they envisioned. This alienation, further amplified as a result of frequent and sometimes meaningless changes to the electronically objectified redesigns mandated by other BPC stakeholders in the organization, can contribute to inconsistencies in the redesign, thus resulting in a negative influence of BPC tools on redesign effectiveness. Our study 1) illustrates the use of the "hermeneutic circle" to understand the role of computer-based tools in business process redesign; 2) argues that the role of BPC tools can be better understood by focusing on the sociotechnical interaction of the redesigners with the BPC tools in an organizational context rather than by studying the tools in isolation; and 3) indicates that the effect of tools on redesign effectiveness depends on the relative strengths of the two opposing effects of BPC tool use discussed above.

Abstract Introduction: This study examined the perceived competence of Clinical Research Coordinators (CRCs) using several conceptual frameworks. Accurate self-assessment of one’s professional competence is a critical component in the career navigation process and contributes to (a) identifying and securing professional development (training), (b) leveraging professional strengths, and (c) integrating self-knowledge into a comprehensive career plan. Method: A survey design gathered responses from a sample of 119 CRCs in a southeastern region of the USA Two conceptual frameworks were used to represent aspects of CRC professional competence: the eight Joint Task Force (JTF) competence domains, and perceptions of strengths and training needs from a list of 12 task categories. Results: The JTF domain with the lowest competence level was Development and Regulations, while the highest was Communication. Perceived competence increased incrementally with years of experience. Top strengths involved direct patient interaction and data management. Tasks in need of training included project management and reporting issues. Variations in responses were based on years of experience as a CRC. Conclusion: Our results demonstrate an association between the self-reported strengths and training needs of CRCs and experience. This information can contribute to the self-directed career navigation of CRCs.

Projects have been increasingly used in the implementation of organizations' business operations. Knowledge sharing has been considered essential in project environment; therefore, the integration of knowledge management within project management becomes crucial for project success. The objective of this research is to study how knowledge sharing is integrated within the context of a project, and what is the perception of project team members about it. A case study was carried out in a company within the financial sector, focused on a project team of the entity. The results revealed that project managers, other professionals in project management, and the organization itself are very much aware of the importance of knowledge sharing. The results also emphasized that, regardless of the lack of incentives by top management, project team members consider that knowledge sharing highly contributes for a successful execution of projects.
Technical Communication and Project Management: A Mixed Methods Study in a Corporate Context
Authors: Rosemarie Miller; M. Hovde
Year: 2018

A mid-size manufacturing business grew from a family start-up to a global leader in less than three decades, but no plan was developed for Project Management or Technical Communication. Recently upper management acknowledged this corporate weakness and asked us to research interdepartmental communication, with emphasis on New Product Development. Formal Project Management had not previously been attempted at this company, and New Product Development was conducted as a committee. After a literature review, we conducted a mixed-method study to assess employee satisfaction with current project processes, technology, and communication. A survey combining two existing tools was administered to all personnel in departments involved with New Product Development. Downs and Hazen’s Communication Satisfaction Questionnaire was tailored to evaluate the company’s communications, and a customized version of the Universal Technology Adoption and Use Theory tool assessed technology use and acceptance within the company. Subsequent to the survey, all department managers directly involved with New Product Development at the organization were interviewed. Quantitative results were analyzed statistically, and qualitative results were analyzed through open coding. Findings from this study can provide insight into the dynamics of improving both Project Management and Technical Communication within a corporate context.

Year: 2014

Generation Production of successful software project is one of the prime considerations of software industry. Engineering high quality software products is further influenced by several factors such as budget, schedule, resource constraints etc. A project manager is responsible for estimation and allocation of these resources in a project. Hence, role of project manager has a vital influence on success of the project. This research comprises of an empirical study of several projects developed in a product and service based CMMI Level 5 Software Company. The investigation result shows a significant impact of aforementioned factors on the success of software and on the company. The analysis further indicates the vital role of project managers in optimizing the resource allocation towards development of software. This paper brings in impact analysis of efficiency of project manager in effectively allocating resources such as time, cost, number of developers etc. An awareness of efficiency level of project manager in optimal allocation of resources enables one to realize the desired level of quality number of developing personnel etc for the implementation of desired application as elicited from potential stakeholders. Hence, effective project management is more dependent on efficiency of the project manager (2). Nevertheless, the importance of project manager in effective project management process and existence of several quality enhancing strategies, it is worth to recall that most of the project failure occurs due to inefficient project management process. This research therefore aims to analyse the impact of various resources which were allocated by project manager on the success of the project. This paper therefore presents an empirical investigation on several projects from a product based software industry to signify the impact analysis of efficiency of project manager in effectively allocating resources. Section II of the paper briefs about the background work for this investigation. Section III describes the Research Method, Section IV presents the empirical analysis of several projects through a case study, Section V presents the Analysis and Inferences and Section VI provides the summary of this research paper.
Team Interactions for Successful Project Management in Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises
Authors: D. Pons; S. Haefele
Year: 2016

Team interactions are recognised as important factors in successful project management. Even so the concept of 'teams' is not developed to any great detail within the project management literature. This project sought to determine the actual practices of small and medium enterprises SMEs in regard to their management of teams within project management PM. The specific area of interest was engineering organisations, and the focus area was New Zealand NZ. Data were collected by means of a survey, which was advertised through various PM chapters and other organisations. Results show that there is an overwhelming appreciation for the importance of team work in projects, but a low awareness and usage of team models, and a large proportion 37% of team processes that do not work well. Team building is the team process that is strongest associated with project success. Curiously, the results also suggest the existence of an asymmetrical relationship between teamwork and project success: that effective teamwork IS a factor in project success, but the lack thereof IS NOT a failure factor. Instead the major causes of project failure are identified as primarily poor planning and poor communication. Implications are identified for future developments of a more comprehensive understanding of how team variables affect project success.

Boosting Construction Project Timeline: The Case of Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM)
Authors: Livia Anastasiu; C. Câmpian; N. Roman
Year: 2023

Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM) has emerged as a notable approach in recent years for improving time management in construction projects. This methodology focuses on optimizing project schedules, and its impact on construction projects has been explored through a review of literature from the past five years. However, a theoretical understanding alone may not be sufficient for promoting the adoption of CCPM in the sector. Therefore, an experimental study was conducted to assess the practical impact of CCPM on shortening the timeline of a construction project. The study involved the use of CPM for the planning phase and CCPM for the execution phase of finishing works (drywalls, carpentry, painting) in three identical blocks of flats. At the completion of the project, an important economy of 36 days (around 20%) was achieved, and the project was completed in 151 days using CCPM compared to the planned 187 days using CPM. The research was limited to finishing works, and further studies are planned to explore the applicability of CCPM to other construction works. It is imperative to establish a continuous collaboration between researchers and practitioners in the construction industry, as research findings should be effectively applied in real-world scenarios.

Year: 2024

The allocation of the National Government Constituency Development Fund (NGCDF) to schools has produced positive results. However, projects funded by the CDF in Uasin Gishu County face several performance challenges, including persistent delays in implementation, instances of financial mismanagement, and infrastructure that often does not meet expected standards. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of contract segregation practices on the performance of NGCDF projects in Uasin Gishu County, guided by contingency theory. Using a descriptive research design, the study targeted CDF committee members from all six constituencies in Uasin Gishu County, with each constituency having nine committee members, resulting in a total of 54 members. Additionally, the study focused on 136 project management committee members involved in ongoing school infrastructure projects funded by the CDF in the region. Primary data was gathered through structured questionnaires and interview schedules. Qualitative data were analyzed using thematic analysis, while quantitative data were examined through descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings indicated a moderate positive and statistically significant correlation between contract segregation and the performance of CDF-funded school infrastructure projects in Uasin Gishu County (r=0.625; p<0.05).
