Year: 2024

The success of the Ghanaian public road construction phase and other preconstruction phases have been studied. However, the success of the Ghanaian public road project consultant selection phase has not received any attention, even though it is prone to corruption. The goal of this study is to identify the critical success factors (CSFs) that, from the standpoint of a developing country, affect the success of the Ghanaian public road consultant selection phase. Data on the degree to which key success criteria identified in literature have an impact on the success of the Ghanaian public road consultant selection phase from the viewpoints of 156 sector practitioners in Ghana were acquired using a self-administered questionnaire. After that, the relative importance index was used to analyze the data. According to the study, external environmental, project management, and procurement-related factors influence the success of the Ghanaian public road consultant selection phase. The government and organizations that administer public construction projects will now have a better grasp of the CSFs that affect the performance of the Ghanaian public road construction project consultant selection phase and be able to use them as a guide to improving the effective and efficient delivery of public road construction projects. In managing public road projects, the study's findings will be useful to both industry professionals and the Ghanaian government. The study is limited to the consultant selection phase of Ghanaian public road construction projects.

Cost-Efficient Project Management Based on Distributed Processing Model
Authors: Grzegorz Pawinski; K. Sapiecha
Year: 2013

In the paper a resource-constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP) aiming at project cost minimization is investigated. RCPSP is a well-known NP-hard optimization problem. A metaheuristic algorithm was adopted to solve the problem when applied to Critical Chain Project Management (CCPM). It starts with the initial schedule and searches for the cheapest solution satisfying given time constraints. A distributed version of the algorithm is proposed to reduce computation time. Independent processes on remote computers (workers) calculate different schedule modifications in the same time and send results back to a server. The server uses multithreading to distribute project data and search parameters to the workers. The number of workers used to achieve the best performance was estimated. The computational results of distributed processing showed high reduction of time needed to obtain the results, in comparison with centralized processing.

Authors: Sietse Overbeek; Marijn Janssen; P. Bommel
Year: 2009

This article is an investigation of the complex phenomenon of national e-Government policy formation. Therefore it contains a literature review of e-Government policy frameworks and a dimensional analysis based on case studies review of the specific management aspects of projects. An e-Government project management taxonomy is proposed consisted from four specific e-Government management dimensions: the project type, the domain sector, the administration level and the beneficiary. The taxonomy is used to map some of the fundamental dimensions required during a national eGovernment policy composition. The implications of the taxonomy’s application are discussed. This taxonomy is to assist policy-makers and stakeholders in adapting e-Government strategies for successful e-Government implementation.
Metrics in Risk Determination for Large-Scale Distributed Systems Maintenance
Authors: Maureen Ann Raley; L. Etzkorn
Year: 2006

When dealing with the maintenance and upgrade of a large geographically distributed computer system, project management must address how to assess the risks involved in delivering, on time and within budget a system that meets its goals. Assessment and management of risks is an essential activity in project management. By collecting and continuously monitoring measurement data (metrics), management can gain insight into the project status and plan for contingencies to keep the project on track. 
The primary goal of our research, as described in this dissertation, is to examine the maintenance phase in upgrades of COTS-based widely geographically distributed systems, and to develop and analyze metrics to predict risks that could affect successful project completion. A focus of our research is on the utility of information theory-based metrics to measure this risk. To our knowledge, information-theoretic metrics have never before been examined on a COTS-based distributed system undergoing maintenance. Another focus of our research is predicting the behavior of future upgrades. Our analysis of systems status is performed using in information from an inventory database—few studies have previously been performed in this area, which thus yields an extra dimension to this research. 
The two primary areas we examine in our research are Maintenance Phase Behavior Analysis, in which we compare and predict behavior in different environments, and Maintenance Phase Risk Assessment, using both simple inventory-based metrics and information theory-based metrics. The data we examine in our studies is maintenance/inventory data that was collected during a massive nationwide computer upgrade by a very large United States government agency for the year 2000 (Y2K) effort. 
Based on the results of our research, it is possible to predict the behavior of upgrades in one kind of hardware/software environment using information collected in a different hardware/software environment, when the labor and scheduling assumptions are the same. Also, using our metrics it is possible to identify risks during the course of the maintenance project so that management can allocate resources to mitigate those risks. Due to the large scale of this research, the results of our analysis have great significance.
How Did the Imperfection of an Innovation Project Come About? The Tension Between Legitimacy and Flexibility
Authors: Qinzhen Qian
Year: 2024

Although current project management literature has claimed to learn from imperfect or failing projects, the process through which the imperfection of a project, in particular of an innovative-centered one, comes about remains unexplored. Based on a longitudinal case study of an interorganizational innovation project, the author developed a process model, showing that the project management team involved—consisting of well-integrated members of their permanent organizations—failed to manage the tension between legitimacy and flexibility by relying too heavily on traditional project management practices. This then led to an innovation project that was anything but perfect with respect to both process and outcome.

Authors: P. Schoeffel; R. Wazlawick; V. Ramos
Year: 2018

This article describes the instructional design and evaluation of a course about project management in a software engineering post-graduation program using different teaching approaches and with a focus on active learning. We use four different approaches: digital educational game, non-digital educational game, hands-on activity, and experiential activity. Each one of the activities is evaluated for the aspects of motivation, user experience, and learning, following the MEEGA evaluation model and Cidral’s experiential activity model. To verify the perceptions of students over time, we also assess graduated students that have concluded this course after two to four years, considering the aspects of motivation and learning. Results indicate a high level of approval for dynamic activities, regarding both motivation and learning. Activities with greater impact on motivation and learning are dynamics and educational games, group practical activities, and group theoretical activities. Among the factors that most influence students’ motivation, we highlight: active learning, teacher knowledge, the taste of the area, and teaching methods. We realized that there was no significant variation in the perception of the activities by students over time.

Study on Leveraging Digital Tools for Enhancing Employee Engagement in Remote Work Settings
Authors: Mittal Asmi
Year: 2024

The global workforce has witnessed a transformative shift towards remote work arrangements, accelerated by advancements in digital technology and the unprecedented challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. This paradigm shift has necessitated a reevaluation of traditional workplace dynamics and a greater emphasis on leveraging digital tools to facilitate remote work. With the traditional office setting no longer the norm, organizations are increasingly turning to virtual collaboration platforms, communication tools, and digital solutions to enable remote work. The rise of remote work presents both opportunities and challenges for organizations. On one hand, it offers employees greater flexibility, reduces overhead costs associated with maintaining physical office spaces, and enables access to a wider talent pool. On the other hand, remote work can lead to feelings of isolation, communication barriers, and challenges in maintaining employee engagement and productivity. Employee engagement is not just about satisfaction with the job; it's about fostering a deep connection at the emotional between employees and their work and the organization they belong to. It encompasses enthusiasm, dedication, and commitment towards organizational goals, reflecting a sense of purpose and belonging within the company. As the modern workplace undergoes a seismic shift towards remote work arrangements, maintaining and nurturing this emotional connection poses a significant challenge. Remote work offers undeniable benefits, including flexibility and cost advantages, yet it also introduces unique hurdles to sustaining employee engagement. One such challenge is the preservation of a strong team spirit across geographically dispersed members. Without the physical proximity of a traditional office, communication can become fragmented, hindering team cohesion and leaving individuals feeling isolated and uninformed. Moreover, the absence of face-to-face interactions can obscure recognition of accomplishments, leading to diminished morale and motivation among remote workers. However, the digital landscape provides an array of tools to address these challenges and cultivate a thriving remote team environment. Communication platforms, such as chat features, video conferencing, and instant messaging, bridge the geographical divide, facilitating seamless interaction and information sharing among team members. Collaboration tools, including project management software and shared documents, foster transparency and teamwork, enabling remote employees to collaborate effectively despite physical separation.
