Finding the Gap: A Comparison of UX Industry Practices and UX Course Outcomes in TPC Programs
Authors: S. Cosgrove
Year: 2023

Background: The intertwined fields of technical and professional communication (TPC) and user experience (UX) have positioned graduates of TPC programs as strong candidates for careers in UX. Literature review: Although there is some scholarship addressing competencies required for UX positions as well as some investigation into UX course content within TPC programs, there is still a need for a comparative analysis of outcomes in UX courses in TPC and industry expectations for UX positions. Research questions: 1. What qualifications are essential to current UX industry positions? What qualifications are stated in current UX industry advertisements? 2. How do these qualifications compare to a sample of existing UX outcomes within TPC programs? Research methodology: A qualitative content analysis of two datasets—a collection of UX job advertisements and a collection of UX course outcomes—was conducted through a systematic coding of texts. Qualifications and outcomes were categorized by UX competencies needed prior to employment. Results/discussion: Results show job ads prioritize on project management including Agile and Scrum, and other skills such as writing, designing prototypes, software and coding languages, and portfolios. Course outcomes reflect strengths in writing and design, but do not include significant reference to specific concepts or tools. Suggestions for improving TPC/UX courses include diversifying existing skills and addressing deficient skills in project management and digital literacies. Conclusion: Challenges for re-envisioning UX courses in TPC programs are considered and addressed.
Not in Silos: Locating ERP Project Into a Complex Network, A Multiple-Project Perspective
Authors: Amany R. Elbanna
Year: 2008

This paper explores the different aspects and sources of interaction that ERP projects face in multiple projects environment. It adopts Actor Network Theory conceptualisation of network and network building to examine a case study of implementing ERP system in a reputable international organisation. It reveals that ERP project interacts not only with other IS projects as literature on IS project management suggests but more importantly with organizational change projects. The level of interaction ranges between following or competing depending on the organizational status of the change project. It also reveals that competition over management attention rise between projects resulting on attention shift from one project to another. Hence there is a project that would be deemed to loose management attention. The findings extends the scope of IS multiple project management and portfolio management beyond the limited focus on the interactions between IS projects. The study enriches the current conceptual base of project management studies and provides a detailed case study that this recent field generally lacks. On the practice side, the study provides a practical insight and comprehensive view of the implementation of IS projects in multiple projects organizations.
The Best Laid Plans or Lack Thereof: Security Decision-Making of Different Stakeholder Groups
Authors: Ben Shreeve; Joseph Hallett; M. Edwards; K. Ramokapane; R. Atkins; A. Rashid
Year: 2020

Cyber security requirements are influenced by the priorities and decisions of a range of stakeholders. Board members and Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) determine strategic priorities. Managers have responsibility for resource allocation and project management. Legal professionals concern themselves with regulatory compliance. Little is understood about how the security decision-making approaches of these different stakeholders contrast, and if particular groups of stakeholders have a better appreciation of security requirements during decision-making. Are risk analysts better decision makers than CISOs? Do security experts exhibit more effective strategies than board members? This paper explores the effect that different experience and diversity of expertise has on the quality of a team's cyber security decision-making and whether teams with members from more varied backgrounds perform better than those with more focused, homogeneous skill sets. Using data from 208 sessions and 948 players of a tabletop game run in the wild by a major national organization over 16 months, we explore how choices are affected by player background (e.g., cyber security experts versus risk analysts, board-level decision makers versus technical experts) and different team make-ups (homogeneous teams of security experts versus various mixes). We find that no group of experts makes significantly better game decisions than anyone else, and that their biases lead them to not fully comprehend what they are defending or how the defenses work.
Agile, Traditional, and Hybrid Approaches to Project Success: Is Hybrid a Poor Second Choice?
Authors: Andrew C. Gemino; Blaize Horner Reich; Pedro Serrador
Year: 2020

Three project management approaches—traditional, agile, and hybrid—were considered in this study. Results from an international study, including 477 cross-industry projects, indicated that 52% of projects could be categorized as hybrid approaches. A regression analysis using multiple outcome measures indicated substantial explanatory power (0.21 < R 2 <0.41). Analysis suggested that hybrid and agile approaches significantly increase stakeholder success over traditional approaches while achieving the same budget, time, scope, and quality outcomes. Hybrid approaches were found to be similar in effectiveness to fully agile approaches. Results validate decisions by practitioners to combine agile and traditional practices and suggest that hybrid is a leading project management approach.
Controlling the uncontrolled by noticing the unnoticed

Scientific literature is rather scarce as comes down on how to deal with Scope Creep (not be confused with Scope Changes) in Infrastructure Projects. However various studies and consulted practitioners in this study have pointed out that Scope Creep is often a root cause of project delay, cost overrun, and poor quality. Project Management faces considerable challenges to deal with the causes and consequences of Scope Creep. Scope Creep is by its (creeping) nature difficult to notice timely and therefore difficult to control. Scope creep deviates in this respect from "normal" scope changes that can be identified and controlled through regular project scope change processes. In particular in Infrastructural Projects that are realized through means of fixed-price contracts scope creep can become hazardous. Therefore, this research was executed with an objective of investigating tools, techniques, and approaches which will potentially help practitioners in minimizing/mitigating scope creep causes and dealing with scope creep consequences. Based upon the identified causes of scope creep in literature, a scope creep management model was proposed for large infrastructure projects which are executed on lump sum price contracts by design and engineering consultancies. This model has divided the management processes into two groups namely planning process group i.e. project front end loading phase and monitoring & controlling process groups i.e. project execution phase. The distinction between these two groups is vital as they require different set of tools, techniques, and approaches to control the occurrence of scope creep and change. The workability and effectiveness of the developed model were validated and optimized by a focus group of experts. Further research is suggested to investigate the application of the model and its relation to project performance.
Time Performance Optimization and Resource Conflicts Resolution for Multiple Project Management
Authors: Cong Liu; Jiujun Cheng; Yirui Wang; Shangce Gao
Year: 2016

Time performance optimization and resource conflict resolution are two important challenges in multiple project management contexts. Compared with traditional project management, multi-project management usually suffers limited and insufficient resources, and a tight and urgent deadline to finish all concurrent projects. In this case, time performance optimization of the global project management is badly needed. To our best knowledge, existing work seldom pays attention to the formal modeling and analyzing of multi-project management in an effort to eliminate resource conflicts and optimizing the project execution time. This work proposes such a method based on PRT-Net, which is a Petri net-based formulism tailored for a kind of project constrained by resource and time. The detailed modeling approaches based on PRT-Net are first presented. Then, resource conflict detection method with corresponding algorithm is proposed. Next, the priority criteria including a key-activity priority strategy and a waiting-short priority strategy are presented to resolve resource conflicts. Finally, we show how to construct a conflict-free PRT-Net by designing resource conflict resolution controllers. By experiments, we prove that our proposed priority strategy can ensure the execution time of global multiple projects much shorter than those without using any strategies.
IT Project Communication: An Investigation of Its Dimensions and Relationship to Project Success
Authors: J. A. Bigbee; Deborah H. Stevenson
Year: 2019

The critical nature of information flow as a precursor to project success has been affirmed by both scholars and project management professionals. The data analyzed in this study represent the perceptions of 91 IT project professionals regarding the importance of 18 different aspects of project communication to project success. The relationship of these data vis-a-vis project manager demographics and project/organizational characteristics is explored. Despite a relatively high level of agreement across the respondents regarding which communications are perceived critical to project success, there are clear project and stakeholder circumstances that warrant consideration. The data reveal both statistical and practical dimensions of communication that attribute importance to project success differently for internal as compared to external communication. Furthermore, the emergence of average project duration as a consistently strong correlate of perceived importance of communication to project success is an area of research deserving greater attention.

Generally, construction industry is notable for its poor performances in terms of cost and time overruns, as well as poor project planning. To improve efficiency and effectiveness of construction process, many countries adopt lean construction. However, in Nigerian construction practitioners do not apply most of the lean techniques in their projects. The aim of this study is to assess level of awareness and barriers to the application of lean construction techniques in Kano State, Nigeria. The study adopted quantitative approach, whereby 200 questionnaires were administered to construction professionals in the study area. A total of 159 were returned completed, representing 79.5% response rate. The data collected were analyzed by means of descriptive statistics, and effect index analyses. The results reveal that, the level of awareness/ knowledge of lean techniques among construction practitioners in the study area was low. In addition, the study found that the major barriers to the application of lean techniques in construction projects were lack of awareness program to increase knowledge about LC and lack of education and training needed to apply LC techniques in construction improvement.  It can be concluded that, construction firms in the study area are still using traditional approach in project management instead of adopting innovative approach that improve project performance. The study has proposes guiding strategies that will help increase the level of application of lean techniques in Nigeria. Thus, the study can assist government and construction practitioners to understand strategies that can lead to improvement in the application of lean techniques in Nigeria.

Understanding the Impact of Quantitative Decision-Making on Engineering Managers
Authors: B. Galli; Katherine Ramirez; Eric Garcia
Year: 2023

As an engineering manager, it is important to focus on employee productivity to provide the best output or product. Furthermore, an engineering manager must exemplify leadership skills, rather than mostly focusing on the business side of things as an engineer. Primarily, a manager must know how to problem solve because this skill is crucial to a business' success. There are plenty of methods and strategies to yield the best decision, but some are better than others. This article uses real-life examples to demonstrate the importance of quantitative decision-making in engineering management. These examples show how some decisions can be subject to error, as well. Project management requires many variables, concepts, and models for the best performance results. For practical application, this article can help provide some guidance and practices for engineering managers. This article highlights key factors to consider when using quantitative methods in engineering environments as well as effective quantitative methods that engineering managers can use in the field. This article highlights some of the common applications and pitfalls of different quantitative methods in engineering environment.
Challenges of the Research Management Office in Higher Edcuational Institutions (HEIS): Local and Global Perspectives
Authors: Florence Aboh; B. Barnie
Year: 2023





With the growing interest in managing research and sponsored programmes, HEIs are recognizing the need for research support services.  For many HEIs in sub-Saharan Africa, this means up-skilling research administration and management expertise, project management proficiency, and good governance structures by setting up a research management office in these institutions to champion the cause of expanding the institutional research frontier.  While subjective evidence suggests that setting up a research management office can be quite difficult, few studies have discussed the specific challenges involved.




To address this gap in the existing body of knowledge, the researchers conducted desk research to (1) understand the role of a research management office in HEIs, (2) identify the challenges of the research management office and the research manager through a purposive sampling of available data on the subject, rank these challenges according to dominance and (4) offer pragmatic recommendations that will aid the office and the manager to deliver on their mandate.




The study addresses challenges associated with the research management office in sub-Saharan Africa and offers a deeper understanding of these challenges as well as chart a course to surmount these challenges and reposition the office and managers of research to effectively and efficiently deliver on their mandate.




The paper wakes up a call for a professional framework for career and skills development among research management practitioners and by extension, the office, and its resources, infrastructure, systems, and procedures needed for effective research management support not only in HEIs in Sub-Saharan Africa but also worldwide.
A Decision-Making Model for Fast-Track High-Rise Buildings Using Structural Equation Modelling
Authors: Mustafa Sultan; Ishtiaq Hassan; Syed Shujaa; S. Gardezi
Year: 2024

Fast-track is a project management technique used to address time constraints and schedule overrun on construction projects. One of the major impediments in the application of fast-track technique in Pakistan’s construction industry is the lack of a comprehensive decision-making model. The aim of this research is to develop a comprehensive decision-making model for fast-track high-rise buildings which can highlight the impact of each decision-making aspect on its relevant project success indicator i.e., time variance(TV), cost variance(CV), quality variance(QV) or scope variance(SV) and the impact of cost, quality, and scope variances on time variance. Structural equation modelling (SEM) was used to develop this model. Questionnaire based on 5-point Likert’s scale was used to collect data from 159 construction industry professionals. Data was analysed using smart PLS-4 software. Results showed that on fast-track projects, scope variance has the greatest impact on time variance whereas quality variance has the least impact. Early scope freeze, early involvement of the contractor in design phase and early procurement of long-lead-time items are the most important decisions on fast-track projects whereas quality optimization decisions have an adverse impact on project duration. The proposed model has high out-of-sample predictive ability making it a universally applicable decision-making model.

Authors: Hữu Tín Tô; Thị Thiên Ngân Huỳnh Thị Thiên Ngân; Nguyễn Thu Ngân Phạm; Minh Huyền Phạm; Trần Vương ChÂu Nguyễn; Đức Duy Nguyễn
Year: 2023

Milk tea or Bubble tea is currently growing and becoming entirely developed. Through our investigation into how milk tea shops are constructed nowadays, we discovered that there are no precise plans for handling and building projects; instead, milk tea shops are merely created and controlled using manual solutions. Therefore, we utilize Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) to separate and organize work objects throughout the project scope to address this issue. WBS also aids in minimizing project risks and job-related variations with the person in charge of that activity. Moreover, we used Microsoft Project software to effectively plan, organize, and finish the construction of a milk tea establishment in compliance with the initial budget and schedule. By doing this, we can better understand how to design and manage a project and ensure its success.

Authors: Christos Kyriklidis; K. Kirytopoulos; E. Rokou
Year: 2011

This paper presents a new approach for the Time Constraint Project Scheduling Problem (TCPSP). A two stage heuristic algorithm was developed for this problem. During the first stage a genetic algorithm using as fitness function, a function composition of max resource usage and the differences between actual and desirable resource usage, is executed to get a set of solutions. The second stage consists of choosing the best chromosomes and moving the solution's set start times ±1 to randomly generate another set of solutions. Experimental results of the two stage approach are presented and compared to the single genetic algorithm results.
