Authors: A. Obata; Kotaro Ohori; Noriyuki Kobayashi; H. Hochreuter; F. Kensing
Year: 2012

The purpose of the paper is to further our understanding of conditions for participatory design (PD). We base our reflections on an ongoing project to develop new ICT concepts for social innovation to mitigate consequences of the aging society as faced by a Japanese city. MUST was chosen since it is a PD method that has been successfully applied in commercial contexts in the US and in Scandinavia. However, we found that social innovation is a complex new territory for PD, both as to project management issues and in terms of conditions for applying tools and techniques for participatory analysis and design. Especially, we found that identifying and adequately engaging stakeholders to be problematic. The diverse set of user groups, potential customers, and IT-developers could not all be defined at the start. This calls for a different type of iteration than the MUST method suggests. Further, the method presumes the involved stakeholders to be able to spend more time in the project than the stakeholders in this project could commit to.
Toward Automating Requirements Satisfaction Assessment
Authors: E. A. Holbrook; J. Hayes; Alex Dekhtyar
Year: 2009

This paper introduces the automation of satisfaction assessment: the process of determining the satisfaction mapping of natural language textual requirements to natural language design elements. Satisfaction assessment is useful because it assists in discovering unsatisfied requirements early in the lifecycle when such issues can be corrected with lower cost and impact than later. We define the basic terms and concepts for this process and explore the feasibility of developing baseline methods for its automation. This paper describes the satisfaction assessment approach algorithmically and then evaluates the effectiveness of two proposed information retrieval (IR) methods in two industrial studies – one based on a large dataset including a complete requirements specification and design specification for a NASA science instrument, and one based on a smaller dataset for an open source project management dataset. We found that both approaches have merit, and that the more sophisticated approach outperformed the simpler approach in terms of overall accuracy of the results.

The rise of advanced technology in project management (PM) highlights a crucial need for inclusiveness. This work examines the enhancement of both inclusivity and efficiency in PM through technological integration, focusing on defining and measuring inclusiveness. This approach illuminates how inclusivity-centered technology can significantly elevate project outcomes. The research navigates through the challenges of achieving inclusivity, mainly biases in learning databases and the design process of these technologies, assessment of transformative potential of these technologies, particularly in automating tasks like data collection and analysis, thus enabling managers to prioritize human-centric aspects of projects. However, the integration of such technology transcends efficiency, indicating a paradigm shift in understanding their societal roles. This shift necessitates a new approach in the development of these systems to prevent perpetuating social inequalities. We proposed a methodology involving criteria development for evaluating the inclusiveness and effectiveness of these technologies. This methodical approach is vital to comprehensively address the challenges and limitations inherent in these systems. Emphasizing the importance of inclusivity, the study advocates for a balance between technological advancement and ethical considerations, calling for a holistic understanding and regulation. In conclusion, the paper underscores that while these technologies can significantly improve outcomes, their mindful integration, ensuring inclusivity, is paramount. This exploration into the ethical and practical aspects of technology in PM contributes to a more informed and balanced approach within the field.
Outsourcing of Community Source: Identifying Motivations and Benefits
Authors: Manlu Liu; Xiaobo Wu; J. Zhao; Ling Zhu
Year: 2010

Community-based open source, or "community source", has emerged as an innovative approach to developing open-source enterprise application software EAS. Unlike the conventional model of in-house development, community source creates a virtual software development community that pools human, financial, and technological resources from multiple partner organizations to develop custom software solutions. The solution is available as open-source software to all end users. In this way, the community source model takes a step forward from outsourcing to third-party software vendors. By studying a real-world case of the Kuali community source project, the authors found that community source faced a number of challenges in project management, particularly in the areas of in-house staffing and project sustainability. The interview analysis further concludes that outsourcing the community source development to either domestic or foreign third-party vendors could be a viable solution. Finally, the authors propose a research framework and seven related propositions that warrant future investigation into the relationship between community source and software outsourcing.

Origami: An Active Learning Exercise for Scrum Project Management
Authors: Christopher Sibona
Year: 2018

Scrum is a popular project management model for iterative delivery of software that subscribes to Agile principles. This paper describes an origami active learning exercise to teach the principles of Scrum in management information systems courses. The exercise shows students how Agile methods respond to changes in requirements during project implementation, one of the four Agile principles, in a deeper manner than many Agile active learning exercises. This learning activity uses an uncommon approach in Agile exercises in that tasks are provided, estimates made, progress is measured, and pivots to new tasks can be introduced based on task progress. All students were introduced to Scrum through two different lessons – one lecture-focused and one activityfocused. Students were surveyed after each lesson to determine lesson effectiveness. Students indicated they understood Agile concepts after completing the exercise and found the activity engaging. Students’ perceptions of Agile were similar for both lecture and activity lessons. The results from the study find that students’ perception of Agile learning increased when they had the lecture followed by the activity. If class time is constrained to a single lesson then the activity would be more beneficial than the lecture. Detailed instructions are provided for instructors to complete this activity.

The purpose of this paper is to study how project management contributes to the improvement of business efficiency in China, since project management apply a series of scientific management theories and methods which can plan and organize the project in advance and ensure the maximization of the value of resource utilization. Through a face-to-face survey or questionnaires of 132 Chinese entrepreneurs, the survey results reveal that most of the entrepreneurs in this study believe that project management is the management model of the future business. In other words, they believe that entrepreneurs have to learn and master the theory and method of project management, because project management can help entrepreneurs better run their enterprises and make business decisions.Our findings show that the application of project management in Chinese enterprises is still in its infancy. The implications of project management capability and policy making are also presented.
Critical Risk Factors in Virtual Software Projects
Authors: April H. Reed
Year: 2007

Virtual software development project teams are required more today primarily due to increased usage of outsourcing and offshoring with future predictions indicating a continued increase in usage. Many other driving factors such as reduced business travel due to security concerns, telecommunications improvements and improvements in collaboration tools have affected the dependence on virtual project teams. Risk management is attracting more attention in technology due to the field of project management and the continued incidence of software project failures. Little or no research has been conducted on the intersection of these three areas; virtual projects, project risk and project failure, being labeled as Virtual Software Project Risk. The goal of this research is to identify the critical risks in virtual software development projects. This research will contribute to industry through improvements in risk management strategies that can reduce or eliminate project failures. Fewer failures will provide benefits to corporations in cost savings and improved products and services.
Project managers' ability to explore and exploit predictive and iterative best practices
Authors: C. Marnewick; A. Marnewick
Year: 2023

Purpose Project managers face decisions every day and those decisions result in an “either or” situation. This is also true when it comes to the choice of a project management approach, i.e. predictive versus iterative. A case is made in this article that project managers should be ambidextrous and apply practices that are beneficial to the project, irrespective of the origin of the practices.Design/methodology/approach This study is based on a questionnaire focussing on six themes. The results of 290 projects were analysed using ANOVA and boxplots to test for skewness and variances.Findings Based on the analysis of 117 practices, most of these projects could be classified as either hybrid or iterative projects. The results indicate that irrespective of the classification of the projects or the industry, projects are managed using a hybrid approach, with a tendency to incorporate more iterative practices than predictive practices.Originality/value This article contributes to the current debate on which approach is the best given certain circumstances.
Unlocking the sources of individual readiness for change: exploring the role of nationality
Authors: Karim Said; Soufiane Kherrazi; Lars Gottschling-Knudsen
Year: 2024

PurposeThis paper aims to examine primarily the readiness for change at an individual level. Additionally, this study examines the impact of internal change factors on individual readiness for change as well as their effect across nations.Design/methodology/approachThe research relies on a quantitative research approach. A survey was conducted among 241 managers across 33 countries. Covariance-based structural equation modeling (CB-SEM) approach and multigroup analyses have been applied for hypothesis testing.FindingsOur research contributes a novel perspective on individual readiness for change and unveils how employees' perceptions of context, process and intensity as internal change factors influence their readiness for change. The findings give support to the assertion that employees' attitudes toward change are altered by individual perceptions.Research limitations/implicationsOur research explores the moderating effect of nationality used through a grouped variable and finds significant impacts of clusters of nationalities. Thus, nationality may serve as a proxy for culture that might be examined in future research studies in a more deeply focused way to include beliefs, values and societal norms.Practical implicationsThe new understanding of the topic “individual readiness for change” opens up new research directions and enriches ongoing discussions about societal change and sustainable project management. This topic creates a link to situational leadership principles, considers cultural factors and, therefore, advocates for a people-centric approach to modern stakeholder management in order to achieve commitment toward change initiatives and consequent project success.Social implicationsConsidering that the path toward the successful implementation of any change project is highly contingent on personal dispositions to change, our research uncovers the potential impact of individual perceptions on employees' readiness for change.Originality/valueOur major contribution is to highlight the importance of considering individual perceptual drivers of readiness for change and to acknowledge the moderating effect of nationality as a contextual factor altering the relationship between perception of change and individual readiness for change.

Authors: Olufunmilayo Oyelude; Chigozie Unegbu
Year: 2024

Reforms in the Nigerian Public Service have aimed to overcome challenges of ineffectiveness and inefficiency in service delivery. Among these reforms, the establishment of training institutions was highlighted by the Public Service Review Commission of 1974, leading to the creation of the Administrative Staff College of Nigeria (ASCON), a premier training institute for the public service. Despite such efforts, challenges in service delivery continue to be a concern. This study explores the impact of Human Capital Development (HCD) programmes on service delivery within Nigeria’s Public Service, focusing on the efficacy of these programs in addressing persisting inefficiencies. Adopting a case study approach, this research integrated quantitative and qualitative techniques, including surveys and document analysis. Quantitative results highlighted a weak, yet statistically significant, positive relationship between the Relevance of Content of Curriculum (RCC) and Benefits from the course attended (BC) (r=0.012, p<0.05). Conversely, a weak, non-significant negative association was found between Utilization of Knowledge (UK) and Participation in Training (PT) (r= -0.003, p>0.05). Qualitatively, while some progress has been evident in certain domains, persistent challenges, such as limited funding, policy inconsistencies, and a lack of alignment between training initiatives and public service requirements, were identified. This study recommends key reforms for ASCON to enhance Nigeria's Public Service delivery: implementing a structured feedback system for quality assurance, revitalizing training programs to meet current inefficiencies, integrating tailored project management techniques, aligning with contemporary technological trends, and fostering public-private partnerships for better facilities management.

BACKGROUND: Agile methodology (AM) is an innovative, active, project-based learning method. The scrum is a popular agile framework widely used in project management and education. This study evaluates the opinions on agile adaptation in nursing curricula among nursing students to identify how AM can be applied in higher education to facilitate learning. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study employed a cross-sectional design and was conducted at two colleges affiliated with health science university, Bengaluru, India in 2021-22. A 23-item agile scrum perception tool (ASPT) was used to evaluate the opinions on AM among the nursing students after the agile training. The data were analyzed by using IBM SPSS version 28. Descriptive statistics was used to evaluate the opinion. RESULTS: A total of 133 students responded to the questionnaire. Nearly, 99 (74%) of the students strongly agreed the team leader’s (TL) responsibility for managing the time was good. Around 109 (82%) of the students felt that the product owner (PO)/outcome evaluator (OE) explained the course objectives well. About 107 (76%) of students strongly agreed that the learning was facilitated by AM. CONCLUSION: The agile scrum framework (SF) can be taught and fostered to improve collaborative learning, teamwork, leadership abilities, and educational outcomes. The policymakers should set the criteria for implementing agile in the curriculum, and nurse managers should allocate the budget for organizing the training program in the form of workshops and conferences for the nursing educators and nurses which could help to improve the self-directed learning and safe collaborative quality of patient care.
