Causes of Human Errors in Early Risk assesment in Software Project Management
Authors: Seema Sharma; Babu Ram
Year: 2016

This paper concerns the role of human errors in the field of Early Risk assessment in Software Project Management. Researchers have recently begun to focus on human errors in early risk assessment in large software projects; statistics show it to be major components of problems in software over 80% of economic losses are attributed to this problem. There has been comparatively diminutive experimental research on the role of human errors in this context, particularly evident at the organizational level, largely because of reluctance to share information and statistics on security issues in online software application. Grounded theory has been employed to investigate the main root of human errors in online security risks as a research methodology. An open-ended question was asked of 103 information security experts around the globe and the responses used to develop a list of human errors causes by open coding. The paper represents a contribution to our understanding of the causes of human errors in information security contexts. It is also one of the first information security research studies of the kind utilizing Strauss and Glaser's grounded theory approaches together, during data collection phases to achieve the required number of participants' responses and is a significant contribution to the field.

Work More Tomorrow: Resolving Present Bias in Project Management
Authors: Yun Shi; Nicholas G. Hall; Xiangyu Cui
Year: 2022

Explaining and Resolving Delays in Projects Project management is responsible for 30% of the world’s economic activity, with an annual value of $27 trillion. Yet, despite half a century of research and the training of millions of project managers, many projects are delivered late. This is typically attributed to Parkinson’s Law, meaning the expansion of work to fill available time. However, in “Work More Tomorrow: Resolving Present Bias in Project Management,” Shi, Hall, and Cui identify and demonstrate the alternative explanation of time-inconsistent behavior, that is, present bias. Under present bias, a decision maker values immediate costs and rewards more than future ones. The authors show that this behavioral issue is responsible for procrastination by project workers and overall project delay. Borrowing concepts from popular employee savings schemes, they develop an incentive scheme that mitigates present bias and significantly enhances project performance, as measured by on-time frequency and expected project tardiness.
Cohort-based programs facilitate skill development and community building for postdoctoral scholars: a pilot study
Authors: Karena H. Nguyen
Year: 2024

Postdoctoral scholars (“postdocs”) occupy a distinct academic stage and therefore have unique career and professional development needs. We aimed to explore whether a cohort-based program could promote skill development, support career preparation, and facilitate community building among postdocs at our institution. We applied the design thinking process, commonly used in engineering and industrial design, to create a 4-month long leadership and project management program. Pre- and post-surveys with Likert-scale questions measured participants' self-confidence in and self-assessment of competencies related to leadership and project management (e.g., creating an inclusive environment, developing a project charter). Fourteen postdocs from STEM and humanities disciplines participated in the pilot program. Matched responses from participants indicated an 82% positive shift in leadership self-confidence (n = 11) and a 56% positive shift in project management self-confidence (n = 9). Postdocs also showed a positive shift in all 12 competencies related to leadership (n = 11), and a positive shift in nine of 10 competencies related to project management (n = 9). In the optional open-ended questions provided in the surveys, postdocs articulated that the cohort created an environment to share experiences, safely practice new skills, and discuss their career goals. Applying the principles of design thinking to develop a cohort-based professional development program resulted in participant learning gains and their feedback suggests that the program supported a greater sense of belonging. Administrators could use our approach to innovate programming that meets the professional and personal needs of postdocs at their institution.

Authors: Edy Sutrisno Putra; N. N. Rodhi; Ayu Kurnia Ratnasari
Year: 2024

Project scheduling is a key factor in achieving successful implementation as planned. Constraints such as limited resources, improper reporting, and high costs often become challenges in project management. Delays in project completion are very detrimental both in terms of cost and time. Just like what happened in the Rehabilitation and Heavy Construction Project of the Outpatient and Administration Building at Dr. R. Koesma Regional General Hospital in Tuban Regency, there was a delay of 10 days in its implementation. This research aims to determine the duration of the rehabilitation of the dr. R. Koesma Hospital building in Tuban Regency using the PERT method to improve time efficiency, reduce the risk of delays, and ensure overall project success. The research method used is combining two approaches, PERT method (Program Evaluation and Review Technique) to calculate the expected duration estimation of each work, and Microsoft Project 2016 to compile a project schedule that allows identification of critical activities and work network analysis. The results of the analysis using PERT method and Microsoft Project 2016 showed that the project was estimated to be completed in 115 days, faster than the planned 133 days. The probability that the project will be completed within the planned target duration T(d) = 133 days is 99.9%. Hence, there is a high probability that the project will be completedÂ onÂ time.
An Instructional Feedback Technique for Teaching Project Management Tools Aligned With PMBOK
Authors: Rafael Queiroz Gonçalves; C. G. von Wangenheim; J. Hauck; A. Zanella
Year: 2017

Contribution: An approach is presented to provide contextualized feedback for students using a project management (PM) tool. This approach covers the ten PM knowledge areas, guiding students through the planning of software projects. Background: Because software PM is unfeasible without the support of a PM tool there is a growing demand that these tools be taught in the higher education computer courses. Hence, several approaches already have been proposed to improve this teaching, such as educational PM tools or simulators, which facilitate the application of specific PM techniques and the treatment of their results. Another approach to improve the teaching of PM tools is instructional feedback, but little information is as yet available on how to provide instructional feedback when teaching software PM. Intended Outcomes: Instructional feedback, essential to helping students to learn, is based on an evaluation of their actions and decisions. To take advantage of this instructional approach, this paper proposes an instructional feedback technique to be employed in an instructional unit (IU) teaching PM tools aligned with the project management body of knowledge. Application Design: This technique was evaluated through an experiment carried out in undergraduate computer courses. Control and experiential groups were exposed to the same IU, with only the experiential group using the instructional feedback technique. Findings: The proposed feedback technique contributes to student learning, meeting students’ need for better explanations to acquire a comprehensive understanding of PM theory and its practice.
Using Bayesian Belief Networks to Model Software Project Management Antipatterns
Authors: Dimitrios Settas; S. Bibi; P. Sfetsos; I. Stamelos; V. Gerogiannis
Year: 2006

In spite of numerous traditional and agile software project management models proposed, process and project modeling still remains an open issue. This paper proposes a Bayesian network (BN) approach for modeling software project management antipatterns. This approach provides a framework for project managers, who would like to model the cause-effect relationships that underlie an antipattern, taking into account the inherent uncertainty of a software project. The approach is exemplified through a specific BN model of an antipattern. The antipattern is modeled using the empirical results of a controlled experiment on extreme programming (XP) that investigated the impact of developer personalities and temperaments on communication, collaboration-pair viability and effectiveness in pair programming. The resulting BN model provides the precise mathematical model of a project management antipattern and can be used to measure and handle uncertainty in mathematical terms

Leadership is crucial for agile team effectiveness and performance. The roles played by project leaders have significantly changed in agile methodologies, but very limited studies on leadership have been conducted in the agile software development context. Motivated by this gap, this study aims to investigate the roles of various leadership styles in agile methodologies and understand how different types of leadership can collaboratively improve an agile project’s performance. We will conduct an exploratory case study to develop a research model. Our study will contribute to the theoretical understanding of leadership roles in agile projects. The findings will also provide guidance to project management practices.
Synthesizing IT job skills identified in academic studies, practitioner publications and job ads
Authors: Haiyan Huang; Lynette Kvasny; K. D. Joshi; E. Trauth; J. Mahar
Year: 2009

This research examines IT job skills across three genres of texts: scholarly articles, practitioner literature, and online job ads. The job skills are organized in three broad categories: technical, humanistic and business skills. Findings suggest that the online advertisements list a strong mix of skills in these three categories, while practitioner literature tends to focus heavily on technical skills. The most recent practitioner literature, however, notes that CIOs are increasingly demanding business acumen as well as technical skills. Project management, financial analysis, and communication skills are the most frequently cited business skills. The scholarly literature tends to lag behind in terms of specific technical skills, but reports the richest set of IT job skills across the three categories.

ABSTRACT The globalisation of healthcare is changing the demands placed on health professionals. It requires different skills and thought processes across national borders. Thinking in an innovative manner may provide healthcare workers with some of the necessary tools to facilitate international change by increasing students’ mental flexibility and ability to apply solutions in multiple contexts. We created the International Innovation Program for health profession education students to learn about and implement the innovation process. The programme provides students the opportunity to learn in interprofessional, international teams and apply didactic knowledge to community problems using the innovation process. The purpose of this article is to describe student perceptions across 4 years of programme implementation. Through analysis of closed-ended survey data, we found that students who participated in the programme reported improvements in collaboration and teamwork, project management, interprofessional teamwork, professional growth and development, thinking in an innovative manner, research and development skills, information seeking, and willingness to work on international projects. Analysis of the open-ended questions revealed five themes: language, teamwork and collaboration, cultural awareness, innovation process, and personal growth and self-improvement. The long-term, follow-up data indicate that these attributes can be transferred into a clinical context which have implications for improved collaboration and patient care.

Year: 2011

Experts’ views and commentary have been highly respected in every discipline. However, unlike traditional disciplines like medicine, mathematics and engineering, Information System (IS) expertise is difficult to define. Despite seeking expert advice and views is common in the areas of IS project management, system implementations and evaluations. This research-in-progress paper attempts to understand the characteristics of IS-expert through a comprehensive literature review of analogous disciplines and then derives a formative research model with three main constructs. A validated construct of expertise of IS will have a wide range of implications for research and practice.

Unlocking Educational Excellence: A Digital Transformation Approach through Business Process Optimization and the Role of Agile Project Management to Overcome Barriers to Successful Transformation
Authors: Sunil Chahal
Year: 2023

Through optimization, these processes get high-efficiency outcomes, cost reduction as well and overall quality. The optimization process is often integrated into analysing and collecting information that can be related to the different aspects of education. Data-driven can enable institutions to make informed decisions, improve areas as well and adjust strategies for making better alignment with the needs and achievement trends of students. This optimization approach can ensure institutions meet requirements efficiently and reduce the non-compliance risks as well as associated consequences. Implementation of digitalization involves task automation and streamlining tasks. In India, this can be accelerated by the adaptation of digital platforms and tools that can enhance access to education, especially across unreserved or remote areas. Streamlining tasks of administration by optimization allows teachers to focus on teaching including research.
Hearing community voices: grassroots perceptions of an intervention to support health volunteers in South Africa
Authors: C. Campbell; Yugi Nair; Sbongile Maimane; A. Gibbs
Year: 2008

With the scarcity of African health professionals, volunteers are earmarked for an increased role in HIV/AIDS management, with a growing number of projects relying on grassroots community members to provide home nursing care to those with AIDS – as part of the wider task-shifting agenda. Yet little is known about how best to facilitate such involvement. This paper reports on community perceptions of a 3-year project which sought to train and support volunteer health workers in a rural community in South Africa. Given the growing emphasis on involving community voices in project research, we conducted 17 discussions with 34 community members, including those involved and uninvolved in project activities – at the end of this 3-year period. These discussions aimed to elicit local people's perceptions of the project, its strengths and its weaknesses. Community members perceived the project to have made various forms of positive progress in empowering volunteers to run a more effective home nursing service. However, discussions suggested that it was unlikely that these efforts would be sustainable in the long term, due to lack of support for volunteers both within and outside of the community. We conclude that those seeking to increase the role and capacity of community volunteers in AIDS care need to make substantial efforts to ensure that appropriate support structures are in place. Chief among these are: sustainable stipends for volunteers; commitment from community leaders and volunteer team leaders to democratic ideals of project management; and substantial support from external agencies in the health, welfare and NGO sectors.
