Year: 2014

Open Source approach has been recognized as one of the best methods for software development in developing countries. Previous research however underemphasized different aspects of Open Source Software OSS success in context of developing countries compared to western context. In this research the authors use exploratory mixed methodology to study measures of and factors affecting OSS success with emphasize on the social and cultural context of Iran. In the qualitative section of the research 13 interviews with experts of the field have been conducted and the result is reflected in the research model. In the quantitative section, five research hypotheses have been evaluated by using data of 109 Iranian projects from sourceforge.net repository. The results indicate that the license type and use of project management tools may affect the success of OSS. The authors finally conclude that OSS research especially in the field of OSS success may lead to different findings in different contexts.
Systems Engineering and Safety Issues in Scientific Facilities Subject to Ionizing Radiations
Authors: P. Bonnal; M. Baudin; J. Ruiz
Year: 2013

The conception and development of large-scale scientific facilities emitting ionizing radiations rely more on project management practices in use in the process industry than on systems engineering practices. This paper aims to highlight possible reasons for this present situation and to propose some ways to enhance systems engineering so that the specific radiation safety requirements are considered and integrated in the approach. To do so, we have reviewed lessons learned from the management of large-scale scientific projects and more specifically that of the Large Hadron Collider project at CERN. It is shown that project management and systems engineering practices are complementary and can beneficially be assembled in an integrated and lean managerial framework that grants the appropriate amount of focus to safety and radiation safety aspects.

Abstract This paper investigates the relationship between governance mechanisms, risk management practices and performance of water and sanitation projects in Uganda. A quantitative cross-sectional survey was conducted with a sample of 66 water and sanitation projects in South-western Uganda. Data were collected using self-administered structured questionnaires and analyzed by using SmartPls Structural Equation modeling. The results revealed positive and significant relationships between the following pairs of variables: contractual governance and project performance, relational governance and risk management practices, and risk management practices and project performance. However, the hitherto hypothesized positive and significant relationships between relational governance and project performance, and contractual governance and risk management practices were not supported. Furthermore, it was established that risk management practices fully mediate in the relationship between relational governance and project performance, whereas they do not mediate between contractual governance and project performance. The fundamental contribution of this article to the project management literature is the confirmation that risk management practices act as mechanisms through which relational governance helps to maximize project performance in the context of water and sanitation projects in a developing country.

Objectives The use of external consultants from private and not-for-profit providers in the National Health Service (NHS) is intended to improve the quality of commissioning. The aim of this study was to learn about the support offered to healthcare commissioners, how external consultants and their clients work together and the perceived impact on the quality of commissioning. Setting NHS commissioning organisations and private and not-for-profit providers. Design Mixed methods case study of eight cases. Data collection 92 interviews with external consultants (n=36), their clients (n=47) and others (n=9). Observation of 25 training events and meetings. Documentation, for example, meeting minutes and reports. Analysis Constant comparison. Data were coded, summarised and analysed by the research team with a coding framework to facilitate cross-case comparison. Results In the four contracts presented here, external providers offered technical solutions (eg, software tools), outsourcing and expertise including project management, data interpretation and brokering relationships with experts. In assessing perceived impact on quality of commissioning, two contracts had limited value, one had short-term benefits and one provided short and longer term benefits. Contracts with commissioners actively learning, embedding and applying new skills were more valued. Other elements of success were: (1) addressing clearly agreed problems of relevance to managerial and operational staff (2) solutions co-produced at all organisational levels (3) external consultants working directly with clients to interpret data outputs to inform locally contextualised commissioning strategies. Without explicit knowledge exchange strategies, outsourcing commissioning to external providers resulted in the NHS clients becoming dependent. Conclusions NHS commissioning will be disadvantaged if commissioners both fail to learn in the short term from the knowledge of external providers and in the longer term lose local skills. Knowledge exchange mechanisms are a vital component of commissioning and should be embedded in external provider contracts.

Challenges to Public Administration Related to the Implementation of the Scientific and Technological Development Strategy of the Russian Federation
Authors: Alexey Barabashev
Year: 2024

The author considers the requirements of the Decree of the President of Russia “On the Scientific and Technological Development Strategy of the Russian Federation” to the characteristics and principles of functioning of the public administration system in Russia. It is shown that the list of these characteristics and requirements is incomplete and insufficient for the implementation of the Decree. The main gaps in the requirements formed by the Decree relate to limiting the reconfiguration of the management system to only one subsystem, management in the field of scientific and technological development.
The article argues that the complex nature of grand scientific and technological challenges implies profound changes in the public administration system as a whole, the transition from a structural and functional management system (a combination of meritocratic and client-oriented models) to a project management system (indicative and public-state models). The changes should affect the nomenclature and the scheme of interaction between structural divisions of state bodies, increase the level of project intra- and interdepartmental coordination.
In addition, significant changes must be made in the public service system. We should organize training of specialists capable of using data analytics tools and data-based decision-making technologies as well as of carrying out an indicative assessment of project implementation indicators. The structure of the civil service should be associated with project offices and temporary performance of duties in these offices, and not only with permanent functions, taking into account the specifics of project service activities and project teams within government agencies. Civil servants should actively interact with independent expert structures and with civil society, which is the ultimate beneficiary of science and technology projects.
Enhancing emotional intelligence in project management: strategies for better outcomes and community with limited financial overhead
Authors: C. E. Davis
Year: 2019

During the SIGGRAPH 2018 BOF "Emphasizing Empathy in Pipeline Project Management," group consensus stated that highly effective project management can only be achieved when emphasis is placed on demonstrated empathy for any and all project contributors at the project management level and when challenges are framed as opportunities to enhance both the team and the project manager's own emotional intelligence. The reality faced in the industry, however, can present unique challenges, specifically relating to toxic cultural folkways, lack of leadership support, and lack of designated monetary resources. Based on subsequent discussions borne from the initial presentation with industry professionals and team leaders, it seems imperative to address not only the theories of Emotional Intelligence in greater depth, but also to acknowledge the potential obstacles in applying this basic theory in the real world. This talk aims to illuminate opportunities for individual production professionals to both challenge their own perceptions of the industry culture and make effective changes pertaining to their management and communication styles to affect positive change in their work environment, increase employee morale, and build community, barring financial allotment, to the overall benefit of their team members and their project health.

Project management core knowledge areas are known to all. Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) [6] has prepared these knowledge areas considering all types of projects in mind. Currently, we find that software projects have come with certain level of uncertainty. For many of the software projects which are in the phase of innovation have to user requirements, no budget and no specific time frame. Thus typical project management might not enough for such projects. In this paper, we have proposed additional knowledge area for software project management named Marketing Analysis. We strongly believe that adopting the activities of the proposed knowledge area software firms would be able manage their software project more efficiently and effectively.

Human Reliability Assessment method applied to investigate human factors in NDT - The case of the interpretation of radiograms in the French nuclear sector
Authors: Justin Larouze; Etienne Martin; P. Calmon
Year: 2023


This communication reports on a study carried out in the context of the collaborative FOEHN project (Human and Organizational Factors in Non-Destructive Evaluation) supported by the French National Research Agency. The motivation of this project comes from the observation that human and Organizational factors (HOF) are not sufficiently considered by the NDT community. Its goal is to analyse and model the influence of the HOF on selected cases of study in the perspective of a better evaluation of the performance of inspections. The communication is focused on a radiographic test (RT) case of study in which it appeared that several successive inspections had failed to detect an existing in-service defect. The analysis and modelling of HOF related to interpretation of films has been achieved in the framework of the CREAM (Cognitive and Reliability and Error Analysis Method). A survey has been conducted during the training and the maintaining of the proficiency of NDT (Non Destructive Testing) operators. This was followed by a non-participant observation of operators on site and several individual interviews including a sample of people covering the main organizational and hierarchical roles (eg. project management, management, operations, invigilation). The exchange with the HOF experts resulted in a hierarchical analysis of "radiogram interpretation" tasks (31 sub-tasks) and a list of contextual and organizational factors that may affect the performance of interpretation of films by the operator. From such a description the CREAM method allows to determine critical tasks and probability of “errors” linked to a limited set of “Common Performance Conditions” (CPC). The first conclusions of this study are that the model CREAM seems well-adapted to the estimation of the impact of HOF on NDT performances. The next phases should be to apply it to other tasks (here only radiograph interpretation) and techniques. The expected benefit of this study is to provide tools for the evaluation and optimisation of NDT implementation.

Authors: Shankar Sankaran; Stewart Clegg; C. Killen; Hedley Smyth; Jeffrey Scales
Year: 2023

This process article reports on the use of Gioia data structures as a visual boundary object in project management research. Gioia data structures work as effective boundary objects that span a research team’s geographical distance in a virtual setting as an artifact for promoting visual collaboration in project management research. We demonstrate the use of boundary objects as generative tools for cross-disciplinary teams to share a common design method. While boundary objects have been used in project management studies, we extend their use to support collaborative research in project management.

Year: 2016

In the aerospace sector the products complexity clearly highlights the need to manage a wide variety of technologies in evolving and changeable scenarios. A way to successfully govern this multiplicity is by designing products thoughtfully integrated and ready to operate in scenarios that grow more and more entangled by the day. Fully embracing an integrated Systems Engineering (SE) approach is one way to untie this knot. Leonardo-Finmeccanica – Aircraft Division has been involved in different innovation initiatives aimed at promoting the use of Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) methodologies and tools integration as standard practices, in order to define an internal structured and robust Systems Engineering Process. The participation to the ARTEMIS CRYSTAL research project is part of these initiatives and is focused on validating innovative workflows and modeling approaches in a multi tool – multi user scenario. The definition of an appropriate Project Management environment and of a minimum set of Configuration Items to be properly managed starting from the Preliminary Design phase also represents a primary objective. This paper explains the industrial needs, the applied solutions and the experience made in implementing the demonstration scenario in the CRYSTAL research project focused on a specific aerospace Case Study. Keywords—Model Based Systems Engineering; Interoperability Specification; Tool Chain; OSLC; SPEM; Product Lifecycle Management.
Project Management for Development in Africa: Why Projects are Failing and What Can be Done about It
Authors: Lavagnon A. Ika
Year: 2012

This article discusses international development (ID) projects and project management problems within ID in Africa and suggests they may fall into one or more of four main traps: the one-size-fits-all technical trap, the accountability-for-results trap, the lack-of-project-management-capacity trap, and the cultural trap. It then proposes an agenda for action to help ID move away from the prevailing one-size-fits-all project management approach; to refocus project management for ID on managing objectives for long-term development results; to increase aid agencies' supervision efforts notably in failing countries; and to tailor project management to African cultures. Finally, this article suggests an agenda for research, presenting a number of ways in which project management literature could support design and implementation of ID projects in Africa.
