Authors: Liisa Auer; J. Juntunen; Pekka Ojala
Year: 2011

Nowadays open source is widely used approach to software development. In Finland the government is also encouraging communities to use open source software instead of closed software.
 Requirements for the future professionals are becoming more complex and transforming rapidly. Internet and Web 2.0 are changing the way people learn and work. Higher education has to take this into account in order to improve teaching and study methodologies.
 School of Business and Information Management, a school part of Oulu University of Applied Sciences (OUAS), is launching an open source project called OpixProject to support education and research related to information processing science. Software under development will be a project management application that can be used to manage traditional and agile projects. The purpose of this project is to use an open source project as a pedagogical tool within the context of computer science education.

Transformation of the multilevel system of transport infrastructure project management
Authors: Andrey Sazonov; Marina Sazonova
Year: 2024

The article is devoted to the development of theoretical and methodological provisions aimed at systemic transformation of the organization of a multi-level system of project management of transport infrastructure. The authors propose to use the method of multi-parametric assessment for groups of projects aimed at the development of transport infrastructure based on economic and environmental indicators, including determining the level of efficiency of the socio-innovative potential of transport, taking into account the degree of possible risks. The significance of the practical component of the study is to determine a set of conditions for the possible practical use of the methodology for managing groups of projects in the field of transport infrastructure considering the effectiveness of the implementation of the tasks and goals laid down in them. The method of organization of project management makes it possible to optimize the number of unrealized groups of projects in a multiple way, to carry out the procedure of ordering and multifactorial selection in the context of each hierarchical management level. The reliability of the results obtained was confirmed by the implementation of projects in the field of transport in Moscow, as well as the use of various mathematical methods.
Managing Interactive Innovation: From Project Management to Process Mobilization
Authors: M. Robertson; R. Galliers; C. Oswick; H. Scarbrough
Year: 2011

In this paper we identify a tension between the discourse around managing temporary assignments focused on producing innovative outcomes, that is, the discourse related to projects and project management, and the emerging understanding of innovation processes, as captured by the concept of interactive innovation. Contrasting the project management discourse with what we now understand about innovation processes in practice, especially those that are radical and, or disruptive, provides explanatory power for some of the significant problems and overall high failure rates (as measured, for example, in terms of the triple constraint of time, budget and scope) often associated with these innovation projects. We illustrate this tension between the discourse on projects and project management and the realities of interactive innovation processes with an example from biomedicine. In the discussion we explore why this tension exists, focusing on explanations that consider organizational ambidexterity and situate projects in their broader institutional context.
ERP Project Success Perception by the Adopters: An Exploratory Study of the Projects beyond Budget and Schedule
Authors: P. Lech
Year: 2013

The purpose of this paper is to determine how the context of the deviations from the planned budget and/or schedule affect the success perception of the project in the eyes of the project management and top management of an adopting organization on a basis of three Enterprise System implementation projects, none of which has met the time-budget criterion. The projects are evaluated against the lists of project failure factors commonly cited in the literature. The results of the study show that deviation from the initially planned schedule and/or budget does not affect the success perception, providing that the project was properly managed and its business outcome is achieved.
Using Principal–Steward Contracting and Scenario Planning to Manage Megaprojects
Authors: J. Rodney Turner
Year: 2021

Performance on megaprojects is dismal. Megaprojects are complex, but people use constructs inappropriate in complex situations for their management, particularly contractual arrangements based on principal–agent governance and conventional project management, which is good at solving puzzles, but not at enlightening mysteries. I review current thinking. Principal–steward contracting is a liberal governance structure required in complex situations. Conventional project management emphasizes control at the expense of innovation. In cases of high uncertainty, innovation is required as unexpected events occur. Scenario planning is offered as a way of approaching the management of complex megaprojects, to construct narratives, and to identify alternative outcomes.
Exploring Terminological Consistency of Project Management Glossaries
Authors: Fernanda Papa; Pablo Becker; L. Olsina
Year: 2023

The present paper deals with an exploratory study on the terminological consistency of four selected project management glossaries. To systematically carry out the study, eight activities were established. Regarding the information consistency sub-characteristic, this work includes a comparison and analysis of both the syntactic and semantic consistency of the terms in the glossaries. To do this, nine terminological categories were conceived for the project area, in which, for each glossary, a given term is included in a category, considering the semantics intended in the definition of the term by the authors. This categorization of terms allows us to comparatively analyze syntactic and semantic similarities, and in turn consistencies and inconsistencies. As a final goal, this study will help us examine our previously developed project ontology and recommend adoptions and adaptations.
Project Management Issues in IT Offshore Outsourcing
Authors: Kathy S. Schwaig; Stephen H. Gillam; E. M. Leeds
Year: 2006

Global partnerships are forming to take advantage of the cost savings associated with offshoring as well as other strategic benefits. Not all information technology offshoring projects, however, are successful. Cost overruns, increased complexity and defective code cause organizations to rethink their offshoring strategy and their methods for managing these projects. In this paper, project management issues associated with offshore information technology outsourcing projects are identified and specific recommendations for addressing these issues are presented.
Investigating Factors Influencing Construction Worker Productivity: The Case of the Middle East
Authors: Tala Yunis; Issam M. Srour; Karim Zahed
Year: 2024

The construction industry still faces unique challenges in fully replacing human labor with automation. This is due to the extensive reliance on manual work across a wide range of activities, including but not limited to tiling, masonry block laying, framing, and plastering. Another common issue in construction is the prevalence of delays in project submissions. These delays stem from various factors directly related to labor productivity. Moreover, project management teams often face considerable difficulties when attempting to gauge manpower and productivity levels. Our objective is to identify the factors that most significantly affect labor productivity on construction sites in the Middle East by reviewing previous research on this topic. This review aims to answer: (1) How do studies assess factors influencing productivity among construction workers in the Middle East? (2) Is there any research on the use of wearable or sensor-related devices in the construction industry in the Middle East?
Improving medication safety in a paediatric hospital: a mixed-methods evaluation of a newly implemented computerised provider order entry system
Authors: ManQing Liang; M. Thibault; P. Jouvet; D. Lebel; T. Schuster; M. Moreault; Aude Motulsky
Year: 2023

Objectives Computerised provider order entry (CPOE) systems have been implemented around the world as a solution to reduce ordering and transcription errors. However, previous literature documented many challenges to attain this goal, especially in paediatric settings. The objectives of this study were to (1) analyse the impact of a paediatric CPOE system on medication safety and (2) suggest potential error prevention strategies. Methods A pre-post observational study was conducted at the pilot ward (n=60 beds) of a paediatric academic health centre through mixed methods. The implementation project and medication management workflows were described through active participation to the project management team, observation, discussions and analysis of related documents. Furthermore, using incident reports, the nature of each error and error rate was compared between the preperiod and postperiod. Results The global error rate was lower, but non-statistically significant, in the post implementation phase, which was mostly driven by a significant reduction in errors during order acknowledgement, transmission and transcription. Few errors occurred at the prescription step, and most errors occurred during medication administration. Furthermore, some errors could have been prevented using a CPOE in the pre-implementation period, and the CPOE led to few technology-related errors. Discussion and conclusion This study identified both intended and unintended effects of CPOE adoption through the entire medication management workflow. This study revealed the importance of simplifying the acknowledgement, transmission and transcribing steps through the implementation of a CPOE to reduce medication errors. Improving the usability of the electronic medication administration record could help further improve medication safety.
DrWatson: the perfect sidekick for your scientific inquiries
Authors: George Datseris; Jonas Isensee; Sebastian Pech; T. Gál
Year: 2020

Doing scientific work always involves a lot of focus and scrutiny, since producing a scientific result requires several levels of depth of analysis, all of which must be as accurate and as reproducible as possible. All this required scrutiny should be naturally translated into the codebase of the scientific project. One should strive for a code that is doing what it is supposed to, is reproducible, doesn’t break over time, is sufficiently clear of bugs, and with simulation results that are appropriately labelled, and more. The challenges associated with carrying out scientific work should not be made any worse by the difficulties of managing the codebase and resulting data/simulations. An unfortunate but likely outcome of this stress is that scientific codebases tend to be sloppy: folders are not organized, there is no version control, data are not provenanced properly, most scripts break over time, and the whole project is very hard, if not impossible, to reproduce. We have created the software DrWatson to make the process of scientific project management easier. In this paper we will describe how DrWatson results in an efficient scientific workflow, taking time away from project management and giving it to doing science.

Authors: Okugo John Onyekachi; M. Ahmad; M. Othman
Year: 2013

ERP business solution drives and improves business performance, meet business needs, support short and long term business strategic direction, but does not have the capability to make key business decisions on its own. ERP system provides data to assist people in orchestrating and making key business decisions that delivers increase return on investments. In ERP implementation project management, people (team, managements, and users) perspectives are the most challenging aspect to deal with. However, they are the most critical and important factor that determines whether ERP system implementation project will be a success or a failure. Transformational project manager set visions and goals, create new opportunities and values, and integrate and coordinate team diverse perspectives. He undertakes strategic and nonlinear thinking, and utilizes other people’s expertise, skills, and abilities, and develops new talents and human capital. In this research we used leadership behavioural characteristics and critical success factors of ERP implementation to develop the underlying transformational leadership core competence qualities of project manager, modelled leadership core competence of an ERP implementation project, and assessed how each of the leadership core competence quality relates to the ERP implementation success by using primary data obtained from respondents who participated as ERP implementation project team members. We believe that the leadership core competence qualities and the leadership core competence model will serve as ERP implementation toolkit, assists in the selection and development of training program for transformational project manager.
Are We Prepared for Simulation Based Studies in Software Engineering Yet?
Authors: B. B. N. França; G. Travassos
Year: 2013

CONTEXT: Simulation-based studies have been used in different research areas in order to conduct computerized experiments with distinct purposes. However, it seems that Software Engineering simulation studies have been performed in a non-systematic way, using ad-hoc experimental design and analysis procedures, i.e., without defining a research protocol and missing information when reporting results. OBJECTIVE: To characterize simulation-based studies and identify the common simulation strategies in Software Engineering. METHOD: To undertake a quasi-Systematic Review. Three online digital libraries (Scopus, Ei Compendex, and Web of Science) are used as sources of information. Information extraction from the primary studies should be captured using a predefined form. Plotted charts and tables should be used together with quantitative/qualitative approaches when possible to support data analysis. RESULTS: From 946 papers, 108 have been included, from which it is possible to identify 19 simulation approaches, 17 domains, 28 simulation models characteristics, 22 output analysis instruments, and 9 procedures for the verification and validation of simulation models in the Software Engineering context. Most dominant approach is System Dynamics in the Software Project Management domain. Replication is not a common behaviour. CONCLUSION: The lack of information regarding most of the simulation-based studies and their models restricts replication, making the results usually specifics and generalization hard. Apart from that, it compromises validity confidence. More research and discussions should be made by the community to increase the reliability and use of simulation-based studies in Software Engineering.
Balancing act: community and local requirements in an open source development process
Authors: Owen G. McGrath
Year: 2006

Established best practices in software development tend to assume that a product's intended stakeholders (i.e., users, customers, and clients) are fairly well known and generally accessible. This paper outlines specific issues faced by those who conduct requirements analysis in the context of open source projects in which the user communities are widely distributed. The examples described are drawn from the experience of managing tool development within the Sakai Project [1], a higher education effort to build and share a community source framework for supporting on-line collaboration in academic courses and projects. With a far-flung community of users and developers, this project requires new approaches to eliciting, analyzing, and prioritizing user needs. The issues outlined in this paper are currently being met by a preliminary set of solutions that makes use of web-based project management technologies. These technologies along with some planning and communication strategies help improve the decision-making process involved in deciding whether and how to choose among proposed constraints, use cases, and feature requests.
A Stability and Efficiency Oriented Rescheduling Approach for Software Project Management
Authors: Yujia Ge; Lijun Bai
Year: 2007

Rescheduling gains more attention in recent years by researchers who focus their study on scheduling problem under uncertain situations. But in software engineering circumstances, it has not been widely explored. In this paper we propose a GA-based approach for rescheduling by applying a multi-objective objective function considering both efficiency and stability to produce new schedules after managers take control options to catch up their initial schedules. We also conducted case studies by simulation data. The results show the effectiveness of the rescheduling method in supporting decision making in a dynamic environment.
Relocating Sterile Processing Activities to an Off-Site Facility: Cost, Design, and Project Management Considerations.
Authors: A. Cardone; Carolyn Grous
Year: 2020

When space limitations prevent sterile processing department personnel from meeting the needs of the perioperative departments that they serve, leaders should consider expansion options. At one large multifacility health care system in Pennsylvania, leaders considering expansion assessed several factors, including the costs versus benefits, logistics, real estate space, regulatory requirements, and the overall effect on employees. After reviewing all of the information, the leaders decided to move the sterile processing department for two hospitals and two outpatient centers to an off-site location. They designed a space to accommodate the sterile processing of instruments for these identified facilities and, if needed, additional facilities in the future. This article highlights the issues that the leaders considered when preparing for the move and discusses the processes and project management structures used to complete the building design.

IMPACTS OF GOVERNANCE CONSTRAINTS ON ODA PROJECT QUALITY: EXPLORATORY STUDY
Authors: C. Dang; Long D. Nguyen
Year: 2023

Effective project implementation is critical to the success of transportation projects and significantly contributes to the productivity and economic growth. Unfortunately, many transportation projects in developing countries have not yet met their expected outcomes. This study aims to explore the governance constraints in the construction phase and their impacts on the quality of the transportation projects funded by the official development assistance (ODA). Based on 340 survey questionnaires collected from both national and provincial project management units (PMUs) in Vietnam, the mean score method was first used to rank the governance constraints in construction. The results showed that site clearance and handover, capital shortage and parties’ incompetence and irresponsibility were assessed to be the most significant governance constraints by both managers and other members involved in ODA-funded transportation projects. Following the results of one-sample t test, a significant difference between ODA-funded and government-funded projects was also found on five constraints: site clearance and handover, capital shortage, delayed payments to contractors, donor involvement, and cost escalation. In addition, the results of regression analysis indicated that project quality could be significantly affected by such constraints as site clearance and handover, changes in scope of work, review/approval of change orders, cost escalation, and imported long-lead items. These results together could provide international sponsors and practitioners with some useful insights to better implement ODA-funded transportation projects in Vietnam and other developing countries.
