Why use communication training as enterprise-wide project risk mitigation tool?
Authors: H. Pretorius; H. Zaaiman
Year: 2013

Complex enterprise-wide projects often fail even when formal project management methods are followed. Project management processes and methodologies are well defined and described in academic and business literature. There is however less published research on the human factors that are critical for project success. This paper describes the results of a study on whether project stakeholders view communication as one of the critical success factors for project success. Critical project success factors were identified from a literature study and ranked by 34 project stakeholders using a comparative analysis technique. The results were translated into a project success factor model that explains the importance of communication in project success. The results of this research project support the view that communication training across stakeholder groups should be included as an integral part of the enterprise-wide project risk mitigation tool kit.
Visual Planning and Scheduling of Industrial Projects with Spatial Factors
Authors: V. Semenov; A. Anichkin; S. Morozov; O. Tarlapan; V. Zolotov
Year: 2013

With the increasing complexity and scale of industrial projects the need of comprehensive and trustworthy methods for planning and scheduling becomes more and more apparent. Being implemented in recent project management systems, the traditional methods aid in project scheduling based on activity durations, precedence relationships, explicit timing constraints, and resource limits all assumed by Resource-Constrained Project Scheduling Problem (RCPSP). However, the methods have many shortcomings for the industrial projects where spatial factors play critically important role. The objective of this paper is to present an advanced Visual Scheduling Method (VSM) for solving Generally Constrained Project Scheduling Problem (GCPSP) that extends the classical RCPSP statement by taking into account additional spatial factors such as product element collisions, missing of supporting neighbouring elements, workspace congestion. In the paper we provide a holistic framework of the method as well as illustrate how feasible project schedules can be generated under complex spatio-temporal constraints in highly automatic and visually interpretable way. A software implementation of the method and its prospects for application in industrial practice are discussed too.
A Multidimensional Analysis of Project Manager Competences

Projects are important to industry. Project manager (PM) competences are important in project success. Yet, current competence studies largely rely on small-sample, homogenous PM surveys which could suffer from uncontrollable biases and may not be generalizable. Often, the studies disregard industry specificity. We attempt to address these issues by exploring the key competences employers require from PMs across multiple industry sectors. We code the contents of 2306 online project management job advertisements in the U.K., the U.S., Canada, China, India, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and Singapore for frequently occurring keywords. Using three-way multidimensional scaling (MDS), we extract six dimensions of competence present in the coded keywords: 1) industry-specific and generic skills over project management knowledge/expertise; 2) project management knowledge/expertise over industry-specific and generic skills; 3) (senior) managerial skills; 4) (positive) personal traits; 5) project management methodology experience and professional qualifications; and 6) risk management over a project life cycle. We find that typically industry puts more weight on generic skills than project management knowledge/expertise, replicating previous PM survey-based results. We believe, however, that the main contribution is our finding that different industry sectors place significantly different levels of salience on the six dimensions. We discuss the practical implications of the results.

Authors: V. Kanabar; W. Hefley; Carla Messikomer; Art Thomas
Year: 2016

Integrating core topics associated with ethics and professionalism is a challenge in many foundational courses. It can be an especially tall-order to integrate them in a foundational course in Information Systems (IS) or Information Technology Project Management (ITPM) while several other foundational topics are also being introduced to students. In this paper, we provide a framework to teach ethics and professionalism by integrating current media events. Using a live mini-case called Volkswagen’s Compliance and Expansion in the United States, we illustrate how three learning outcomes and eight key teaching topics pertaining to ethics can be incorporated in any IS/ITPM course in a lively manner.

Authors: Aleš Trunk; Aljoša Gačnik
Year: 2025

We conducted the research as a case study in a selected company. The Slovenian company employs between 300 and 350 employees, of which 100 work in management. The first significant step in the Automotive industry occurred at the beginning of 2018 when the first important project was acquired, representing 1/3 of the annual turnover of EUR 30,000,000. Constant growth and, as a result, an ever-increasing number of new projects demanded the reorganisation of the company and the formation of a separate and independent project office for the needs of the Automotive industry. As part of the research, we explore the research problem: effective management of projects or project resources from the point of view of the company's business performance. Through systematic work and the vision of the company’s management, we showed the increase in efficiency of the project team's reduction of costs, which means better competitiveness in the global market for the future.
An Empirical Study on the Likelihood of Adoption in Practice of a Size Measurement Procedure for Requirements Specification
Authors: Nelly Condori-Fernández; Ó. Pastor
Year: 2006

Software size is one of the essential parameters of the estimation models used for project management purposes, and therefore being able to measure the size of software at an early stage of the development lifecycle is in theory of crucial importance. However, although some proposals for functional size measurement in industry do currently exist, there is as yet little validating evidence for such proposals. This paper describes an empirical study, based on the method evaluation model (MEM), of users' perceptions resulting from actual experience of use of a measurement procedure called RmFFP. This procedure was designed in accordance with the COSMIC-FFP standard method for estimating the functional size of object-oriented systems from requirements specifications obtained in the context of the OO-Method approach. In addition, an analysis of MEM relationships was also carried out using the regression analysis technique
Successful Retirement for Library Managers
Authors: Robert P. Holley
Year: 2024

Abstract Library managers have acquired the skills to make better choices about deciding when to retire and in selecting options that lead to a successful retirement. The best situation is when the manager can voluntarily make the decision without any life factors that force the issue or efforts by the library to get the manager to retire. The reasons for retiring can include family obligations, time for other activities, and health concerns including work stress. Greater financial resources in retirement increase the manager’s options, but waiting a year or two before making major decisions, such as moving makes sense. Some retirees will start a new life of leisure. Others may wish to volunteer or find paid employment including consulting, part-time work, or opening a business. Some will wish to continue their professional involvement, but others will reduce their service activities to make these opportunities available to the next generation. Managerial skills, such as planning, project management, and budgeting should lead to a more successful retirement.

Year: 2024

Purpose: This study explored management strategies and their influence on optimizing the construction supply chain in Rwanda, focusing on the Amahoro Stadium project. The specific objectives included assessing the impact of logistics management, technology integration. 
Methodology: A mixed-methods approach with a descriptive survey design was used, targeting 128 individuals and entities involved in the construction supply chain of Amahoro Stadium. The sample size of 97 respondents was determined using the Granular formula. Data were collected through questionnaires and interviews, combining both quantitative and qualitative insights. 
Findings: The study revealed that logistics management, technology integration, and customer management all have significant positive relationships with the optimization of the construction supply chain in Rwanda. Key findings included a strong agreement among respondents that effective transportation (43.2%), inventory control (48.4%), and customer feedback (83.6%) influence supply chain optimization. The correlation analysis showed that 87.6% of the variation in construction supply chain optimization can be explained by these three independent variables. The study concluded that a comprehensive strategy involving logistics management, technology integration, and customer engagement is essential for optimizing construction supply chains in Rwanda. 
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Recommendations include investing in logistics training, adopting advanced technologies, and fostering customer relationships to improve satisfaction and project outcomes. Further research into the long-term impacts of these strategies on supply chain optimization and sustainability was also suggested.
A Holistic Approach to Developing a Progress Tracking System for Distributed Agile Teams
Authors: Sultan Alyahya; Wendy K. Ivins; William A. Gray
Year: 2012

Managing development progress in agile projects is a co-ordination problem. Several technical factors (e.g. source code versioning, unit testing, acceptance testing, continuous integration and releasing) affect the progress status, hence, they need to be managed. In distributed agile projects, manual-based methods (such as communication via video-conferencing tools) are insufficient. Distributed agile teams find it difficult, with infrequent communications, to understand how the work of one team member at one site influences the work progress of another team member at a different site. Moreover, current technology-based methods (such as project management tools) are static and rely completely on team members to consider any impact of the technical factors on development progress. The lack of mechanisms to effectively manage progress change resulting from the technical factors may lead to the project being delayed or to low quality code. In this paper, we propose a holistic approach to developing a progress tracking system that supports identifying and co-ordinating the impact of the various technical factors on the development progress. The result will provide distributed agile teams with an improved awareness of the actual progress.

Year: 2014

ICT Projects have a bad reputation: they often exceed budget or change scope. It holds especially when writing new software is involved, however, writing mobile apps, joint & distributed software development across organizations, integration of new services, sizing maintenance or ICT portfolio projects is also affected. Project management is needed but without proper estimation methods and tools it is limited to managing the budget overrun. For the economy, this is a serious blocker, since ICT is the major motor for economic growth. Work breakdown structure fails because it is part of the project to find out what work is needed, expert estimation fails because experts cannot remember previous decisions and their estimates suffer from important variations. Without proper budgeting, ICT projects carry enormous risks for the financial stability for the sponsors of an ICT project.
Effect of organisational culture on ICT project success in public higher learning institutions in Nigeria
Authors: A. Adekiya; O. Bernardes
Year: 2020

Evidences have shown that most projects in developing countries fails at an alarming rate probably due to lack of consideration for critical success factors that are needed in the project management process. In this study, organisational culture is highlighted as one of these factors and its effect on the success of information communication technology infrastructure in three higher educational institutions in Nigeria, was examined. By making use of the cross-sectional survey, research data were elicited from 63 employees/project managers who are deemed as stakeholders to this infrastructure. From the analysis that was conducted, it was discovered based on the perception of these respondents that the ICT infrastructures in these institutions meets and surpasses expectations. Put in another way, these infrastructures may be classified as a success. Additionally, a positive relationship was uncovered between organisational culture and project success which means that project success may be improved by concentrating on manipulating the culture that prevails in an organisational environment. Having this in mind, recommendations were made for organisations to view culture as a veritable tool for enhancing project success.

Authors: C. Ebert
Year: 2005

Simultaneously improving project management, product development and engineering processes is for many companies crucial to surviving in a fast changing environment. However, the integration of these activities often falls back due to methodology wilderness, lack of vision or organizational misalignment. To stay competitive with its systems and software development, Alcatel has put in place an orchestrated improvement program of its processes and the underlying engineering tools environment. We will in this overview present Alcatel’s engineering process improvement initiatives over the past years. Results are impressive. For instance, with moving to a CMM(I) maturity level 3, we reduced delays of projects to half. We also pinpoint some challenges, such as the need of appraisal model stability in order to facilitate timeline benchmarking.

Accurate estimation of the total project cost is important for project management. It can help an organization analyze the feasibility of a project and reduce the risk of project failure. In this paper, an ontology-based intelligent estimation agent, including a CMMI-based project planning ontology and a fuzzy cost estimation mechanism, is proposed for the total project cost estimation. The proposed agent combines the fuzzy inference, capability maturity model integration (CMMI), and the ontology to make cost estimation of the project. Based on the information stored in the CMMI-based project planning ontology predefined by domain experts, the fuzzy cost estimation mechanism infers the total project cost and stored the results to the project estimation repository. The simulation results show that the proposed agent is feasible to estimate the total project cost.
Estimation of Risk Countermeasure Effects Based Upon Project-Behavior Simulation System
Authors: Ayaka Oshima; K. Okada
Year: 2017

There is no doubt that IT (Information Technologies) systems are essential as social infrastructure or enterprise infrastructure. However, the success rate of IT system development projects is not so high. In order to enhance the success rate of IT system development projects, it is important to take proper countermeasures against identified project risks. In this article, the authors apply the project-behavior simulation system, which have been prototyped by authors and is able to simulate projects behaviors as the propagation of risk or issue situations in projects, in order to estimate the effects of risk countermeasures on projects. Four scenarios are supposed. In each scenario, risk countermeasure is taken against specific risky project situation. Then, the effects of risk countermeasures in each scenario are estimated as simulation results. In order to validate the estimations of risk countermeasure effects, questionnaire surveys to project management experts are conducted. The results of surveys show that the estimations of risk countermeasures quite fit the experts own experiences except for the unrealistic risk countermeasures.

Year: 2024

Construction project management prioritizes the achievement of three main objectives: cost, quality, and time. This study evaluates a road widening project in Mojokerto Regency with a target completion time of 150 days. To prevent delays and cost overruns, researchers used the Earned Value method to identify early warnings regarding project performance. This method integrates time and cost values through measurements of Cost Variance (CV), Schedule Variance (SV), Cost Performance Index (CPI), Schedule Performance Index (SPI), Estimated at Completion (EAC), and Estimated Schedule at Completion (EAC). The research findings show that additional costs required (ETC) reached Rp 3,276,704,110.14, with additional time (ETS) up to week 12 being 87 days. The change in project costs (EAC) reached Rp 3,961,767,811.01 from the contract cost, while the project completion time (EAS) was 171 days. The analysis indicates that the construction service provider has implemented an efficient implementation method with consistent supervision, ensuring the smooth progress of the project.

Year: 2023

In this research, the performance of Information Technology (IT) projects was analyzed, evaluating if they meet the schedule, budget, objective, and customer satisfaction. A study by the Standish Group reported that for the period 2015-2020 only 35% of the projects were successful [1]. An exploratory methodology based on bibliometric analysis was used and it allowed to know global trends related to governance and project performance. Also, a quantitative methodology was implemented for structuring the model of factors and variables. With the information obtained from the Colombian universities, a factorial analysis was carried out and a statistical model of linear equations was built that characterized the behavior of corporate governance, IT governance and project performance. As a result, a governance alignment model was created, which will help to improve decision-making, deliver value, and increase the efficiency of IT project management.
